I Watched Nosferatu... Movie Review (Spoiler-Free)

[@gunnarthedude8205]

Crazy to me that Robert Eggars is such a big SpongeBob fan that he gave a random side character from one episode an entire movie

[@AustinBurke]

Hahaha remarkable comment

It's a remake of a classic from 1922 and 1979 film.😂

fI wish Eggers would adapt 'The Shadow Over Insmouth' by H.P. Lovecraft. His style (especially that used in The Lighthouse) is absolutely perfect for this story.

[@SwissCheese667]

Ooohhh yes I'd love that. Or Call of Cthulu.

[@prostheticcat8574]

​@@rolandmeyer3729 The spelling doesn't really matter since Cthulhu's name is merely an attempt by mortals to encapsulate the incomprehensible tones of voice needed to express what he/it is.

[@MrJoseoz]

I love the Nosferatu silent 1922, and the Nosferatu vampyre 1979..(wrongly listed as 1929on youtube) version I highly recommend the 1979 version, free on KZbinwith ads, it's stunning and weird thing is I felt sympathy for this Count dracula/ orlak, his loneliness his desire for love and the actress lead Isabelle adjani is beautiful and looks like Miss Depp , a must watch

[@MegaInferGoku19617]

This might be one of the best, if not the best, horror remakes of all time. I firmly believe Max Schreck's Orlock is one of the best film performances in cinema history. Just his design, the way he moves, and his expressions still put you in a dreamlike trance today as it did over a hundred years ago. The use of shadows and creative shots set an atmosphere that, to this day, remains unique in the realm of the horror genre. While many other Dracula adaptations have been good, including the 1979 Nosferatu, no other vampire adaptation accomplished the same dread on me as the original Nosferatu did. That is until this version came out. Much like Schreck's performance, Skarsgard disappears into the role. His movement and expression feel faithful yet take their own creative liberties. I also like how Orlock speaks a dead language that adds an extra layer to the surrealism his performance provides. I also like how the iconic use of shadows in the original has been updated in this version creating that dreamlike atmosphere. And just the mood of the film and that looming sense of dread is just mesmerizing to witness. This is definitely one of my favorite Robert Eggers films to date.

[@hugopetruspons]

This is the movie I've been looking forward most of this year, can't wait for it to hit theaters. Great review, as usual, Austin!

[@AustinBurke]

[@CapybaraConnoisseur89]

This movie personally is a lifetime event not a movie of the year. Definitely best thing to ever happen, thank you Mr Eggers

[@DanGoober]

Completely disagree. The Depp girl was awful. The ending was abrupt and terrible. It's was a remake of Bram Stokers which is far superior. It's the worst movie of the year. I had high hopes but it failed completely. Depp was miscast. She ruined it.

[@sabaahjauhar-rizvi3487]

You should watch the 1922 and the 1970s versions. Both are creepy and gothic without being extremely scary. But the creep factor is top notch.

[@ajytabbott2004]

I absolutely love Robert Eggers attention to detail in his movies. He just immerses you in the world of every single one of his movies. Whether its through the dialogue or the sets or the costumes, as soon as you start watching his movies you just get transported into that setting. I have no doubts this will be another home run.

[@MegaInferGoku19617]

I read in one review that Orlock speaks and brainwashes Depp's character to speak "Dacian", a dead Balkan language lost to time hundreds of years before this film takes place.

[@JoseRodriguez-dt3en]

[@360.Tapestry]

Problem is everyone is saying the movie is not scary at all.

[@gabrielmecenas2075]

Based on your review, I will definitely love this movie. So hyped, but it unfornately arrives a week later here in Brazil...

[@fabianhammer2864]

feelin a strong 8 out of 10 on this one- i figured, id share my main criticsm of the movie, having seen it twice already, for those wanting to engage in discourse, or even for some, who are still on the fence and are interested- the one drawback this movie has is that it wants to have its cake and eat it too, by which i mean, that tonally, its two separate movies in one and while mostly managing to get the balance right, this film has confirmed my long held belief, that any filmmaker tackling this classic story, will have to ask themselves the (to me, dreaded) question, how to do a modern take on it. this line of thinking provides the film with some of its strongest visuals, while simultaneously sacrificing some of the source materials nuance and more subtle menace. in many ways, im reminded of coppolas version, which makes sense, because murnaus inspiration is all over that film and as a longtime fan, i do see a direct link, connecting all of these movies. coppola, for example, wasnt the first director, to attempt a love story, for his dracula and while i appreciate, that eggers didnt portray his vampire as romantic, theres definitely a strong sexual tone, to him- again a source of memorable images, while also, to me, cheapening the characters and their respective motivations a bit. granted, as i compared it to coppolas film, that one had many moments, of hammy acting and is heavily sexualized, but i still feel, it works better, in context- im sure many will disagree, on that front. what sets the two apart, is that coppolas film is self aware, in its theatrics. eggers though, has gained a reputation, for more cerebral horror, of quiet dread. the first act of the movie has plenty of that and to me, overall, works best. which is kind of a shame, because as much as i was mesmerized, by this version of orlok, the film abandons this quiet buildup of dread, after thomas (hoults character) arrives at the castle. eggers wisely teases us, before giving us a full reveal of orlok, but as soon, as he rises out of his coffin, in the nude, there isnt much subtlety to be found. jump scares, to me, clashed with the previous tone and though i really respect lily rose depps performance and felt for ellen, some of her possession scenes were just overdone, to the point of clichee. again, i respect that she went for it, id just wish, the less is more approach couldve been kept more consistent. if ellens character has an, for lack of better term, possession orgasm, in every other scene, contorts and grimaces, doing her best linda blair in the exorcist impression, it suddenly begins to feel, like so many directors, loudly hammering the point home, so that everybody in the audience gets the message, instead of letting us piece it together and make up our own minds. this is, of course, personal opinion and preference, but its precisely what im getting at, when im talking about the dreaded modern take. and it got more pronounced, as the film went on. which brings me to my last point- every version of dracula, from stokers novel onwards, had sexual undertones, that, in this movie, become overtones. when i say, it provides the film with some of its most lasting images, its bittersweet, because i feel the decision, to center the final act of the movie literally about orlok, coercing ellen into sex, cheapens the way, this story has been originally told, to me. what was missing from stokers novel and was popularized by murnaus original film, was the fact, that a vampire cant survive the sunlight and from that point on, its been adapted many times, for a reason. this is a creature, who only exists, to drink blood, it cant eat, it cant feel the warmth of the sun and IMO, if you already go that far and show orlok as the corpse he is, he also shouldnt be able to fuck, or lust for anything else. drinking the blood has always been inherently sexual and my main problem here is that, once again, this needs to become overt and it feels like an adaptation, for those modern viewers, who dont get this obvious metaphor- one one hand, you go out of your way, to make the vampire appear more corpse like, but to make him still somewhat relatable, turning his main motivation into a very human desire. again, it feels like wanting to have it both ways and the only reason, im elaborating on what bothers me personally, is because there is much of value, to this movie, yet it leaves a strange aftertaste, if you consider, the note it ends on- a beautiful visual, much like the rest of the film, but in my opinion, sacrificing some substance, in doing so. now, these are images that last, no doubt and its not like the original film was a masterclass in script writing, im just worried about the state of cinema, when im sitting in the theatre, swept up in the atmosphere and every once in a while, immersion is broken by something too....obvious. maybe it didnt help, that it was hyped to hell, that im a longtime fan of the source material, that people left during the viewing every couple of minutes, or laughed during inappropriate times. that orloks design, of all things, seems to be a main point of contention, with some finding it to be funny, i personally dont get at all. i dug his look, though its very much a manufactured performance, that doesnt actually allow an actor, to emote all that much. besides the point, if it works. im just low key saddened, by the feeling, that some people seemingly cant enjoy things unironically anymore, hence the at times inappropriate laughter, if youre not outright told, how to feel, during a certain scene, even if it takes a jump scare, to get there. and im not shitting on that, if its done in the right context. overall, i felt it was a very good movie, but the parts, are greater than its sum. ive tried to make my points, as respecfully as possible, for anyone, who reads through this rant, im happy to engage and to further discuss, which i wouldnt do about a film, that didnt have as many strengths and cause me to reflect on it, for what its worth.

[@mariolafrance5806]

Looks good indeed. What is the difference between this film and Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. ? Both stories seem rather similar. Great review though. 9.3 ? Wow.

[@blakepittman6679]

Same story due to Nosferatu being an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel.

[@justasoulsfan9805]

They are similar because the original Nosferatu movie was the first ( not official) adaptation of Stokers Dracula novel. But they didn't have the rights so they changed names, setting and the later parts of the story. If Dracula is a typical Victorian novel I would describe Nosferatu as a "what if Dracula was adapted into a germanic folktale?" Something like the Brothers Grimm wrote for example. The big difference is that the secondary characters are all ommitted or pushed into irrelevance. No brides, No Goldaming, No Quincy, No Seward and even the Lucy arc is left out. Plus Van Helsing isn't a factor in this Version. Nosferatu was inspired not only by Dracula, but also by the Horrors of World War I and the spanish flu. Unlike Dracula, who was mainly interested in exploring England to feast and spread his curse, Count Orlok in the OG is more like a cosmic or folkloric monster. He is very connected to rats and pestillence and though his presence he spreads the plague over Europe. So not only is he a bloodsucker, but also a pest (Kind of like Godzilla, who emanates radiation). Therefore Ellen (Nosferatu's Version of Mina) gets more agency. Look at Nosferatu more like an AU Version of the classic Dracula story. A lot of set up is eerily similar but in detail both diverge. I would even go so far as to say that most Hollywood adaptations of Dracula take more cues from Nosferatu than the actual Dracula novel. For example Nosferatu brought up the sunlight weakness. The novel versions of Dracula and Camilla could walk in sunlight just fine.

He spends the entire movie trying to fk the chick. Does this surprise you? He stalks her to fk her. That's it. And screws with her fiance's head in the mean time to drive a wedge between them so he can isolate her and ''consumate". The end. What a thrilling adventure. I cannot wait to spend 1.5 hrs imagining what it would be like to screw a corpse on top of a wedding massacre. - Hollywood, -2024. (Get it? Kinda like Game of thrones but worse...you get it? Or was the parallel too subtle? Bc the director thiks the audience is r*tarded...so, I gotta check...) What is wrong with you people? Just, mentally...why do you enjoy this stuff? I am morbidly curous and I can never understand it. WHY?...just why. Why is this something you all gravitate towards? O_O Why do you want to see stuff like this? Northman ended in the mother trying to fk the son. This one has a similar ''plot" bc it was created by creepy fks who's only mission in life is to see the actresses naked and fantasize about their daddy's fking them. Thus we need a father figure, the decrepit "Nosferatu" whose main mission is "ruining" the angelic teenager, who is kinda twisted herself, naturally, in order to fullfull THEIR fantasy of graping the young actresses but in a way which suggest like maybe they liked it. And they found the perfect moron for it: the daughter of Johnny Depp, who seems to be ONLY able to find porn-adjacent roles since she made her debut. This is the 2nd movie where they're using her to create a Freudian type of character based on her father's life and movie career. Not the first! The SECOND. In order to be able to call this ''horror" though, it was not enough to just copy Tim Burton's ''gothic style" , they had to add a bit more blood elements and ''possession" elements. I call it derivative trash, but you call it whatever you want. It's a pathetic, over-hyped, sad reimagining in a completely horrific year of pathetic movies. Bc Hollywood fk heads had a writers strike bc they refuse to pay ppl. In a normal season everyone would have called it horribly derivative. I am tired of these jokers pretending trash cinema is actually quality. I am not excited. I am BORED by yet another tired, stupid ''reimagining" trying to convince us all that women are prone to giving in to ''temptation to evil". And I am particularly disgusted by the casting choices and real world parallels in this movie. I hope Hollywood goes fully bankrupt and all these a$$holes just disappear from the screen. Bc they have certainly NOT learned their lesson. You cannot put a pretty packaging on trash and convince us it's not trash. It is trash. Old trash too, bc it's yet ANOTHER ''reimagining".

Where does all this people watch this movie before us

[@AustinBurke]

They sent the film out to critics guilds so we could vote for it before our deadlines

I love this director and this was my number one movie to see this year . But the reception I am hearing so far is making me a little less excited :(

[@AustinBurke]

Wait, really? I’ve heard great things from other critics!

[@AverageJoe483]

@ well , you have to understand I had extremely high expectations haha . I loved the Witch . One of my favorite movies . I’m hearing this wasn’t his best film nor really that scary . So I am still absolutely going to see it , but my expectations have been lowered a bit .
