Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is everything that’s beautiful and horrifying about classic vampire stories.
Fun for the whole family! I can't wait to see this but also am pretty terrified already. I'm still getting over Black Phillip...
I just watched this movie earlier today and I don't get the hype. I was really looking forward to it but I ended up dozing off 2 or 3 times.
True. It is not really scary, but personally I don't think I've ever found any adaptation of DRACULA to actually be scary except maybe for a few moments in SALEM'S LOT but that was only slightly a Dracula story and I was a little kid when I saw it on television.
My favorite adaptation is the Coppola DRACULA film, and it was much more entertaining and more of a Gothic Romantic adventure - like the novel - than a horror movie. In fact, watching NOSFERATU, I felt it was much more similar to Coppola's film than either the Murnau original from the silent era or the 70's remake by Herzog.
In the end, it felt more tragic and melodramatic than horrifying and though Orlock might be the most disgusting and possibly dreadful depiction of a vampire on film, he was far from the most frightening. Nevertheless, it was a compelling performance and all the actors played their parts well - especially Depp and Dafoe.
I think my biggest issue was how cartoonishly evil Count Orlok seemed. That accent they gave him made me think more of Boris Badenov than the prince of darkness. Also a lot of the characters seemed kind of one dimensional and I couldn't really get invested in any of them. I agree it had a lot in common with the Coppola version but just more stripped down and monochromatic. By the time Nosferatu ended I just wanted to go watch the Coppola one again. I agree Depp and Dafoe were the best parts of the film.
I thought it was a good movie that succeeded at what it was trying to do with the horror/drama/theatrics, but I don’t want to watch it again. It did drag a few times, especially at the beginning.
why do they exist
why do they charm people
how many people can they charm
why does he only want her
lol
He wants what he wants. That's about all there is to it.
