Nosferatu

[CooterBrown 18293]

I’m in for anything Eggers does.

 

[Buzzrock 15192]

Good cast.

Nicholas Hoult going for round two on Dracula flicks (Renfield with Cage was pretty fun).

Willem Dafoe keeping busy.

[Reynolds Woodcock 5106]

In. Eggers is 3/3 so far. 

[hobbes2702 13521]

So in. Wonder if they will recreate the rising scene. One of the all time moments in horror movie history.

I can't watch this or the original because the damn episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark as a kid on Nickelodeon scarred me for fucking life.

If you can watch Texas Football after the late-era Mack Brown/Charlie Strong/Tom Herman you'll be fine.

Don’t typically have the stomach for horror but oddly enough I’m a sucker for vampire movies. 

[Post Oak 20595]

I really enjoyed the original.

I have tickets for Thursday. Eggers may be the only new director out there worth a shit.

[hobbes2702 13521]

Going on NYE. Super psyched. The witch is a masterpiece straight up. Lighthouse and Northman both very creative if a bit flawed. This source material seems create for what Eggers does well. Can’t wait.

Ive been to a couple screening of the original with a live orchestra. Really cool experience 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19374]

I saw it tonight. The movie was really good, if a little slow moving in parts. The acting was top notch, and the visuals, well Eggers is absolutely top notch at those. Definitely worth the price of a ticket.

[QuesoEspecial 266]

Saw it with my nephew last night…it’s really good you won’t regret seeing it in the theater…gothic horror at its best 

[smuggs 9406]

Going tonight. Pumped.

I’ve always heard a wide range of opinions on that movie.  I never saw it, myself.

Going today. In the “The Witch is a masterpiece” camp.

My thoughts exactly. I'd add that Lily Rose was fantastic. I'd be surprised if she doesn't pick up an Oscar nod in a few weeks.

[SubliminalHorn 7015]

I liked it a lot. Dragged a bit at times, but I can’t think of anything that could be cut out that wouldn’t affect the storyline

Agreed.  She was outstanding.

It's fine. I like Northman better. But I may need to rewatch The Witch. I haven't seen The Lighthouse. Owe it a watch.

Saw (thread title) this afternoon. Fun watch but nothing super special. Well worth the ticket which is a lot more than most films can say these days. Eggers is stupid talented overall but I felt like certain scenes or stretches were much better than others and the plot got a little muddy. His world-building - especially at a micro level - and ability to immerse you in a magically-realistic period/setting continues to impress.

Dafoe and Hoult fucking crushed it. I thought little Depp was good but she isn't ATJ (which isn't an insult). Screenplay was really impressive. 

It's EXCEEDINGLY fucking graphic - in case anyone's 11 year old-daughter is trying to tag along. Much more adult than even The Northman.

Based on the previews and opening credits I thought it was going to be black and white. Mostly dull shades of gray and brown though which is pretty much black and white. Then there's the scene in which the Harding's daughters are introduced. Looked like Willie Wonka compared to the rest of the movie. Thought that was interesting.

Also really dug Dafoe's pipe. Gotta get one of those bad boys

[wutang75 459]

Am I the one that didn’t realized how close to Bram Stokers Dracula it is? Basically the same plot. Story behind it is interesting.

Checking this out in 30, pumped

The original was a Stoker adaptation without the rights so they changed the names.

And apparently Stoker's heirs sued for copyright infringement and won and most copies of the original were destroyed.

[CooterBrown 18293]

I really liked this. It’s not built for a modern audience with it being a slow burn but tension is through the roof at all times.

I really liked that his look was based on the painting of Vlad the Impaler.

 

[Helobious 9843]

Imagine living in 2024 and not knowing that Nosferatu was a ripoff of Dracula.
