Nosferatu is the biggest disappointment of the year

Eggers Nosferatu is pure atmosphere with very little to no nuance in its retelling. I honestly thought it was kind of a mess. It looks unbelievable though. Really cool use of light and shadows. With that being said, Nosferatu is Eggers first miss in my opinion.

A testament to the fact that stunning cinematography, production design and a solid ensemble are not enough to make a great film.

Although if you liked a movie like longlegs which many of you seem to have enjoyed, you will probably absolutely love this.

For a movie that originally had no dialogue, this one is filled with nothing but people expositorily talking in dark rooms for scenes that drag on for way too long. Didnt find it thought provoking or suspenseful whatsoever. I think the biggest issue was the fact that none of these characters had any sort of personality or were interesting/dynamic at all which made it tough to become truly invested. They merely feel like props rather than lived in characters. The elements that excite are spaced out between… “fine” or "meh" moments. i repeat, shot beautifully, but just like… cool, what are we doing here and why do we care about these people?

Theres no doubt that Eggers is an absolute craftsmen and a wildly talented auteur, but this one just felt incredibly stiff and hollow. Not a bad movie by any means, but surely a disappointment at least in my eyes having been quite pumped for it since it was announced. Just a wonderfully shot nothing burger of a remake. Of course, this is all just my opinion. try not to crucify me.
