"Nosferatu (Robert Eggers, 2024)"


          

Was invited to see a special screening of The Bikeriders last night. They played the trailer for this before the movie started and asked us not to give anything too specific away.

Looks like my guy Robert Eggers is about to be 4 for 4.

I know he's been working on this ever since The Witch dropped. The look of this is unique. Excitied to see the finished product.


This is really the only movie I'm looking forward to after July.

That Christmas release date is EXTREMELY wild.

There's a shot in the trailer (you'll know it when you see it) that I can't wait to see in context of the film.

Holy shit!

Yeah, you can feel Robert Eggers putting his all into this motherfucker.

Lily-Rose Depp absolutely needs to be nominated for her performance. Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlock... what he does with his movements and voice (Eggers said they did very little to his voice. That's all Bill) is wild. The makeup department has created a unique, terrifying look for the Count.

These sets are incredible. I would've loved to run around on these sets.

The lenses that were created for this movie has paid off. The Romanticism look with the images looking like it's in black and white, but it's really in color is some next-level shit. Like a character will be standing in a window in beautiful color, then the character moves away and looks to be in black and white. Insane.

Shout out to Dolby Headquaters in NYC foe the flawless presentation with proper masking and proper calibrated sound and picture.

Cannot wait to see this again in IMAX.

LOLOLOL at putting this out at Christmas.

Trailer is bananas and I was simply hoping it lived up to it.

Is it ultra weird and confusing or a more straightforward (but unique) telling of a story?

You'll see. It's a Robert Eggers film through and through.

I should've come back to this post to remind myself about the IMAX release, but I might double back this weekend.

Seeing it on a much larger screen with Laser projection, I can see more details I hadn't seen before.

The terror and dread are still unbearable on a rewatch.

This is probably gonna be my yearly Christmas movie.

Can't believe a Robert Eggers movie had a sold-out IMAX showtime.

Excitied to see the 35mm print tomorrow.

Obviously looks good and is very well-acted, but it feels very much like a pastiche of existing Draculas/Nosferatus. Nothing wrong with that, makes for a good time at the multiplex, and goes without saying that visually it leaps most of what we'll see at an AMC this year... but I wouldn't put this above The Witch or The Lighthouse for Eggers, both of which felt more distinctly like Their Own Thing.

Great cast though. Depp, Hoult, McBurney, and obviously Dafoe all doing great work.

11/23: Three Wiser Men & A Boy (on Hallmark)
11/27: Christmas Under the Lights (on Hallmark Mysteries)
12/14: The Santa Class (on Hallmark)

it was exquisite and meticulous, as expected from Eggers, yet felt a little more thematically simpler than his best work.

I would disagree it is not a top tier Dracula movie, because I can only think of about 3 of them, and this would be the best to me.

* Eggers' movies are always better on second viewing. this one may yet have layers to peel.

I prefer off the top the original Nosferatu, the Herzog Nosferatu, the Lugosi Dracula, and the Coppola Dracula. They just each very much feel like their own thing, and this movie feels like it's borrowing heavily from several of them (and the Christopher Lee one, obviously).

Again, not a bad thing, as he's a terrific craftsman... but the original is unbeatably unnerving, the Herzog one is the great Lonely Vampire movie (and boasts the best Renfield ever), Lugosi is the best Dracula as Charmer movie and is obviously one of the most iconic performances of all time, and the Coppola is the ultimate Horny Dracula movie and one of the very best movies visually of its decade. They're just all so distinctive, and this one, at first visit, doesn't feel like it's planting its flag and having its own specific take on the story.

>Eggers' movies are always better on second viewing. this one may yet have layers to peel.

I thought The Northman's parts were better than its sum upon revisit, but yeah, The Witch and The Lighthouse are endlessly great. I've seen The Lighthouse five or six times now, it's an exceptional piece of work. And ultimately, at a time when movies are increasingly disinterested in visuals, it's nice to have a guy so devoted to how movies Look and Sound and Feel.

11/13: Hot Frosty (on Netflix)
11/23: Three Wiser Men & A Boy (on Hallmark)
11/27: Christmas Under the Lights (on Hallmark Mysteries)
12/14: The Santa Class (on Hallmark)

Shit was intense and creepy and made the vampire the cretin he truly is. I was waiting for the debonair Nos to show up and dazzle but nah.. Eggers kept the monstrosity and it’s for the better.

The Orlock castle section.. gat damn lol

Whole experience reminds me why I avoid both Drafthouse locations in NYC.

Best viewings are:

1. IMAX

2. Dolby

3. 35mm

Didn't love some of the narrative ones, especially for whatever Mina Harker is called in this version. But a good time, minus the disturbed guy in the audience who had to be removed

FWIW, I liked this visual take on Orlock.

EDIT: Also, with almost every Dracula adaptation, I find the stuff in Transylvania and the ship more interesting than when he finally gets to whatever modern city, especially in the novel.

I check for: Serengeti, Zeroh, Open Mike Eagle, Jeremiah Jae, Moka Only.
