Why Nosferatu (2024) Actually Sucks

[@VaughnJogVlog]

How much did you dislike Nosferatu?

[@Captainhexpaine]

Most over rated hyped up disappointing crap of the decade. At least with renfield and the GOAT last voyage of the demeter, we knew what we were getting there was no mystery or big bs reveal. Seriously fuc this movie

[@anthonyanderson2405]

I found it a superb film in every respect.

[@frakismaximus3052]

It was incredibly dull. Wow I want my money back. Oh,and it was pretentious as hell. I never want to see another Eggers film.

[@frakismaximus3052]

​@anthonyanderson2405 it might have succeeded in some measure, but it was an utter failure as a horror movie. And why resurrect Dracula for ANOTHER go, when there was nothing new to add to the story? The lighting and setting were excellent but wow that doesn't make for 2 hours and 12 minutes

So I understand... DaFoe was in a vampire film nearly 30 years ago, Lily-Rose is Johnny's daughter, the film played to adults, ticket prices, type of seats, the movie was rated R, the movie took it's time instead of being non-stop slam bang popcorn action and had deep eye for detail, you provided a shallow story synopsis, Lily-Rose wasn't "hot" enough for you, I could do the camera movement better, you wish Stormare played the Orlok, the voice reminded you of two other movie characters, the entire film wasn't in the centuries old Dacian language, Skaarsgard didn't have "sex appeal"....you're absolutely right this movie was awful You're absolutely entitled to your opinion and I (clearly as I viewed this "critique") will hear you out but this provided no cinematic critique or apparent knowledge of the art, it's just a misguided shallow pull-apart

Pretty sure a child's scribbling is garbage compared to Caravaggio. Pretty sure "Freddie Got Fingered" is garbage next to "Once Upon A Time in The West". Pretty sure Awkwafina's "singing" in "The Little Mermaid" is shit next to Hugh Jackman in "Les Miserables". We have objective standards that separate quality from crap.

@4:00 - To be fair, this is actually quite evocative of how stupid everyone was in the original Dracula novel. "Renowned, world-class polymath" learns of obvious indications of someone being victim to a vampire, right after a confirmed case of vampirism, in the same city? "Just tell her to rest. It's probably just a case of "nerves"."

You must be new here. No one has come down harder on the Avengers films than me.

[@16JPE]

I hate the argument, “characters make stupid decisions, there for movie dumb” and I have to ask the question, if a monster or crazy character is loose or going crazy in a town setting, do you truly believe smart choices were made before hand?

[@VaughnJogVlog]

Heroes making dumb choices is an artificial way to elongate a story. They should be looking for Orlok. They even have an address, but instead they wait around for the hell of it. By the end of it seems the professor was playing with everyone, using them to see what the vampire could do. Real heroic.

[@16JPE]

@ I don’t think the characters had knowledge of orlok being a vampire, prior to him wreaking havoc on the town. Correct me if I’m wrong on that. If the doctor wasn’t in the story I doubt they’d have known orlok was a vampire to begin with. And I don’t believe these characters are meant to be “heroes” they’re more like protagonists.

[@cardboard2night]

I wasn't disappointed, but I agree it wasn't a best movie as some critics saying... Pros: *good production: costumes, set design, thousand trained rats, everything was top notch; *good cinematography *plot (movie is a remake of 1924 Dracula ripoff, so yeah - you cannot go more classic) *good ambiance Cons: *bad cut, unnecessary jumpscares *sometimes acting is over the top, sometimes it's underplaying, inconsistent overall; *dialogue... eh? *for some reason, soundtrack wasn't as captivating as it should be, was pretty generic; *plot holes (we blame 1924 movie, but) *it's slow, but not good, captivating slow... 6/10 maybe 7/10 because I really liked set design, they literally build old European style towns and unleashed thousands of rats...

[@handsomestik]

Oh man I just saw 22’ Nosferatu and it was dope. 79’ sucks, I love Klaus Kinski but he is laughable as Orlok. Slow pacing was fine and great scenery but if the Vamp doesn’t do it then show is over.

[@Captainhexpaine]

Klaus kinski was and still is the best interpretation of nosferatu.

[@PaleBlueDot1993]

This doesn’t even qualify as a review or critique. He literally just says he can prove that the film is objectively bad, then proceeds to give the plot in a passive aggressive manner acting as if every facet is bad without giving reasons for his stances. He keeps making references to other characters the actors play in other films in a pathetic attempt to try woo the viewer into believing that he is giving a high-minded critique rather than a series of complete non-sequiturs. He claims the film is pretentious, while giving the most stuffy, arrogant, & contrarian rant and makes pointless jabs at the acting, and he doesn’t bother to specify what was so wrong with the performances. He has the right to have his own opinion, however, from what I can tell, he either has brain rot or he is making a cringe, counterculture review for the views. My guess is the later. Shame on you sir. If you truly don’t like it, then give a proper review with honest and thoughtful criticism. I give this guy’s review 0 out of 5 stars.

[@Zeitgeist6]

While I still liked the 70's version (I can't not like Klaus Kinski's) best out of all 3, I liked this version 2nd best. Those like the other 2 versions it is too slow. Also please remember Dracula in the book wasn't the suave sexy vampire from Coppola's movie either. That version is also outright evil.

It wasnt bad, but it was kinda dull. The music and the acting was a little bit too over the top. I would have preferred a quite, atmospheric horror film like Egger's previous film The VVitch. And while I did like Bill Skarsgard's performance (especially his voice), I was very much disappointed by Orlok's look. That mustache was hideous, and quite frankly, he looked like the zombies from Will Smith's film "I am Legend", which means he looked kinda goofy. I much prefer the classic Max Schrek look for Orlok.

there were excellent scenes; producers poked their noses in everything again just like in the northman…the problem is that it should have been even slower and longer; more character development, more discovery of surroundings…in the 1992 dracula keanu actually spent considerable time exploring draculas castle;the scene with oldman and ryder in bed towards the end lasted 15 mins, with excellent timing of drama and passion…this one was rushed esp towards the end… art is destroyed by people who utter these extremely harmful words:” it was too long”… sorry but it should have been even longer

Same for me, I will probably never watch it again, but I still know a piece of art when I see it. This is a well made film, with great acting and performance. It's a salute towards the forgotten version of what a vampire once was. If I were to write or do a "rewiev", I would at least be open minded.
