Really enjoyed the movie! I feel like it was another Eggers arthouse fever dream but with a very traditional narrative structure. I really hope this film's box office struggles don't stop Eggers from making Nosferatu! I feel like that story fits perfectly with his style.

[@GoCreativeShow]

You are totally right. Eggers would make Nosferatu incredible. Thanks for watching the interview. BEN
