NOSFERATU | Film Threat Reviews

[@williamerickson520]

What? A movie that I can be excited for? Inconceivable!

[@sipage2240]

I don't a think a the word a mean a what a ya think a the worda mean a ..

[@ScottBecker-z3m]

Yes, folks, it's an adaptation of Dracula...how can fans of horror and vampire films not know this? It's only been well known lore for 102 years.

[@omniviewer2115]

Wait until the SpongeBob fans show up...

[@Currency12345]

It is the descriptions that they use to describe a fresh take. That sounds exactly like the 1992 Bram stokers dracular. Most people know what nasferatu is

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

Because they are normies. Guarantee you they haven’t read Dracula, or heard of Carmilla or any other gothic Vampire horror. Most like vampires because of Twilight

[@johnbrainard566]

God damn it Allen no spoilers.

[@patmaloney1140]

My wife doesn't put up any arguments about watching something when I tell her film threat recommends it.

[@wasteland70]

I cannot wait to see it. "The Lighthouse" is amazing. In the sense you return to a favorite novel. Love the channel. You guys are great!

[@nicholastotoro7721]

"The Lighthouse" was so batshit insane in all the best ways. I have high hopes for "Nosferatu."

[@AverageJoe483]

This will be the only film I’ll have gone to the theater this year . As a matter of fact I haven’t been to the theater since before the pandemic .

[@wanfu5634]

I've never seen Chris so giddy over a new movie like this before.

[@MortimurGrimm]

This seems like a faithful reimagining of Nosferatu. I always appreciated that the original film wanted to make Dracula a more grotesque creature. This appears to bring the horror.

[@mimamo]

"It's England of its time." It's actually Germany. It's made pretty obvious in the movie and fitting to this being a remake of a 1920s German movie.

[@Nxptune12]

Gosh Alan 😅 giving me the whole movie

[@NmDPlm31]

Got our tix to see it on the 29th. Very stoked.

[@gorfulator]

I'm stokered.

[@toddmcdowell6800]

Sound's like another take on Bram Stokers Novel! That's almost exactly how it is in the Dracula novel!

[@juddgoswick2024]

Yes, this is a reenvisioning of Fritz Lang's silent film where he "scrubbed the serial numbers off" of Stoker's book - but there are innovations even in Lang's version and this sounds like it veers even more.

[@SpecialAgentBillMaxwell]

So I take it this is a strong recommend? I'm skipping the review because the comments hint that it spoils the movie, again. Eggers is always spot on. The Witch is one of my favorite horror movies ever, and I'm hoping for more of the same quality.

[@juddgoswick2024]

It is a 9/10. They don't spoil it, but Alan's summary is long and involved until Chris cuts him off.

[@MJanovicable]

I was a little concerned about the trailers as some of the footage does appear a little too CGI. However, I think watching it in full 4K or on a big screen from DSP might be a very different experience, we'll see. That said, I think it looks excellent in general and should be at least a solid entry into horror, and it could very well be a game changer along with 28 Years Later if it too delivers as I believe it could.

[@JJtheUtahRealtor]

I love Alan, but he sucks at describing movies 😂

[@el.tano.augusto]

🤣😂

[@tacotruffles]

Ouch

[@brettbudward]

It’s part of the charm of the show. Two friends taking movies

[@Tjhx1138]

One friend talking movies. The other not even watching the movies. Plus, you can’t spell.

[@uncleeric3317]

He can’t read for sh*t as well. But its part of his charm.

[@mikal]

Have you guys watched the Doug Jones version of Nosferatu that came out a few months ago?

[@nunyabizness6595]

Next SciFi. Cmon Eggars. You can do it!❤❤❤

[@AHalevonEric]

Green Slime! I'll throw that out there.

[@kaiju115]

I wanna see this movie so Fucking bad!!!

[@NothingOsaka]

I love Nick Hoult. Admirable guy been warching his career since skins we are the same age. He truly inspires me he has been putting in work for YEARS in Hollywood I am sure in the next couple years he will have his Oppenheimer!

[@NinjaRunningWild]

I’m definitely going to wait for the 4K release. Going to theaters involves dealing with idiots who can't put their phones away or STFU for an entire film.

[@philyeary8809]

Or watching the facenappie crowd flail.

[@MarkHWillson]

Do you happen to be near an Alamo Drafthouse or otherwise smaller independent theater? Will undoubtedly be a good experience there. Otherwise, wait 'till school is back in and go to a weekday matinee! Both good options, I swear! I understand if your faith is shaken in the theater experience, but want to believe we can all restore it, together.

[@Tjhx1138]

It looks too digital. I’ll see it when it comes out. If every horror scene has a ton of digital effects, I think the creators are too lazy.

[@RabbiSteve1]

Whoa, is it? I didn’t notice the first time I watched the trailer. Eggers is so into practical effects and old film tech, I thought for sure he wouldn’t use much digital. If so, that’s disappointing. I’ll still see it though. But I agree with you: lazy. (Edit: Allan said little CGI AND mostly practical).

[@Tjhx1138]

@ I’ve only seen the trailers, but there’s a lot of cgi in them . That curtain/ shadow scene? Took me out of the mood as soon as I saw it . CGI just looks like cgi to me.

[@johnscott6984]

The movie I've been waiting all year to see - probably going to the 1st showing Christmas Day😊

[@henrymach]

I like the Herzog version mostly because Isabelle Adjani

[@julianne_warren]

I look forward to seeing Nosferatu. Good director, I'm hoping he won't disappoint this time neither.

[@Ixorpehc]

I'm just happy this movie feels like old England, and does NOT look like current day Los Angeles. In today's idiotic times, that feels like a miracle!

[@AmandaFromWisconsin]

@@Ixorpehc Is this a channel that complains about everything being “woke”?

[@mimamo]

It's not England, it's set in Germany.

[@theclient6251]

I thought you were talking about the plot to Bram Stoker's Dracula. Are they based on the same source material?

[@andrewlol9095]

Does Nosferatu have a morbius cameo?

[@drgordo112]

I'm looking forward to the Unknownosferatu double feature!

[@brothercartman]

Horror never left.

[@LycanVisuals]

CANT WAIT for this.

[@BC666Moon]

Saw this at a press screening. Man it’s hammy AF. Some scenes I was struggling to understand how the actors didn’t burst out laughing. The tone and cinematography are pretty solid, but damn, it’s almost a spoof!

[@siy01]

No reliance on CGI !!! As a compositor, I can tell you that is thoroughly untrue. Just because you dont notice it, doesn't mean it's not there.

[@westfield90]

All the reviews have been so over the top and since I had never of Eggers, I watched the Northman and I barely lasted 30 minutes before bailing out. It was the most boring movie I’ve seen. I just hope this isn’t as slow and boring.

[@ivanmuniz9812]

At the end does Nosferatu get a hysterectomy?

[@Aust51989]

I want to see what kind of popcorn bucket they come out with in this lol!

[@BalrogUdun]

Already got my tickets for the day after Christmas. I’m not a big horror person but I love monster movies and gothic horror.

[@williamerickson520]

Gothic horror is the only true horror!

[@Art_The_Clownnn]

Horror this year... - The Substance - Heretic - Strange Darling - Speak No Evil - Smile 2 - Terrifier 3 - Late Night With The Devil - Oddity - A Quiet Place: Day One - Alien: Romulus - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - Abigail - Longlegs - Nosferatu - The First Omen - Your Monster - V/H/S Beyond - Immaculate - Lisa Frankenstein - Exhuma - MaXXXine - It's What's Inside - Cuckoo

[@Tyler_Durden987]

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice being horror is like Deliverance being a documentary.

[@Art_The_Clownnn]

@Tyler_Durden987 It's horror/fantasy/comedy so why not

[@Red-zh7vq]

Lots of misses on that list

[@HollywoodinToto]

The film makes the most avoidable mistake for the horror genre -- it shows the vampire WAY too much. It's technically pristine, of course, but less is so often more.

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

Allen gets to speak for about 2 and a half minutes in the nine and a half minute segment. Oh Chris...

[@RabbiSteve1]

Yeah, I with you. Love them both, but sometimes it feels like Chris dominates just a bit much.

[@milton1448]

So, no forced "inclusion and diversity?" Sounds like a winner!

[@AmandaFromWisconsin]

🙄

[@GrinGillis]

Murnu, Herzog. Why do it again?

[@RabbiSteve1]

I kinda agree. But I just admit, I’m still curious. I’m so far, not a huge fan of Eggers’s work. I appreciate it more than I like it. But this one feels like a must work.

[@fredlusyk6741]

~Bill Skarsgård's Excellent Sequel Adventure: 《IT》 《The CR💩W》 《Nosferatu》 ~so, when does he start filming: 《The Rocky Horror Picture Show》 👽 🖖 🤖

[@jeremyusreevu237]

I like the scene where Nosferatu turns the lights on and off.

[@Omar-wq9dz]

Yeah, and it was great when SpongeBob and Squidward showed up

[@Bingo_the_Pug]

I like the scene where Leto says It’s Nosfartime & Morbin all over the screen. Defiantly the scene all time of the movie.

[@AHalevonEric]

NOS-FER-AH-TUUU...😅

[@brickgarden]

My favorite SpongeBob character!

[@aquaham3564]

I liked Heretic better but still a good movie

[@shakeemwinn3647]

Got my tickets.

[@darinknapp2070]

You need to stop with these reviews. You’re going to make me start going to the movies again.

[@MrDman21]

🧛🏻‍♂️🦇

[@terryread7347]

Isn't this mirroring Bram Stoker's Dracula?

[@guitarhero8110]

Nosferatu is an unofficial adaptation of the book yes.

[@NinjaRunningWild]

Yes, but the original was made to circumvent copyright on Dracula, renaming the character & film to avoid issues. AVGN / Cinemassacre did a good review of all the various Dracula adaptations & discussed how accurate they all were (hint : Francis Ford Coppola’s ranked high despite the fabricated love story).

[@iamrysheem]

I dont understand why they dont just say its the story of dracula. But with a different nane

[@williamerickson520]

@@iamrysheem Because of the copyright issues with the original.

[@iamrysheem]

@@williamerickson520 i meant in these reviews. Just state up front its the story of Dracula. The creator clearly want to remake the monster Nosferatu which is cool and is the only reason to actually make this movie with this title. But Dracula is now public domain. There are no copyright issues. The reviewers could be more concise with their reviews. Even Nosferatu is public domain now.

[@Knee-JerkReactor]

"England of it's time." 🙄 Because Europe's a country, right yanks?

[@ThePresidentOFhasbinz]

Getting sick of seeing that Billy kid in every fkn movie 🎥

[@dirkjewitt5037]

Robert Eggers is easily one of my favorite directors. Right up there with Kubrick.

[@dirkjewitt5037]

Chris, stop being a shit to Alan. You must have been a Starbucks manager at one point in your life.

[@chriscunningham8703]

Pity about the poor casting choices

[@mychess5821]

If there are no scares, no terrifying imaginary, then it's only hype and gimmick.

[@CGMedia2023]

That's basically all "elevated" horror actually is.

[@mychess5821]

@CGMedia2023 you are the first one saying that this is an elevated horror. U see elevated horror is being used to make easy money without any effort. It's Hollywood the crappy industry at its poor era.. Everyone knows what an actual horror movie is and it's definitely not the 2020s lineup except for a few.

[@williamerickson520]

If by "scares" you mean cheap jump scares that titillate rather than frighten, then I hope it has none. As for terrifying imagery, it looks like it has a lot.

[@AncientRylanor69]

[@jeffgriffith7087]

Again, I love Alan, but he (may be) a writer, not a podcaster. Chris, you need someone else as a side kick.

[@BlackCatsXVII]

Robert Eggers is so overrated. I watched the witch and it was so boring and full of feminist messaging painted all over, i'm not looking forward to see any of his movies ever.

[@vincentgalipeau6389]

Skarsgard is overated. Alan is an idiot.

[@CGMedia2023]

Yeah, no. Got no time for woke "elevated" horror. How much does anyone want to bet that Nosferatu got race/gender swapped?

[@williamerickson520]

He's played by a white dude so you've already lost that bet.

[@MJanovicable]

Nope, you will lose that bet.
