Nosferatu

Is a vampire’s scent actually deadly?

Just saw a Nosferatu official perfume and now I can’t stop thinking… If a real vampire walked past you, what would they smell like? Would it be intoxicating? Would it make you weak in the knees? Would it straight-up kill you? Or are we talking a dangerously seductive kind of vibe?

Monte Solaris: It should smell of mud, dust, and unwashed cock.

Drop your fave vampire! 🧛‍♂️

It’s 100% Alexander Skarsgård as Eric Northman in True Blood! That final scene in Season 6? ICONIC. Alright, your turn—who’s your #1 vamp?

Nexus Striker: Okay but can we talk about Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire? Peak hot vamp vibes.

Nosferatu Between Two Centuries

Let's talk about Nosferatu, a 1922 silent film based on the original Dracula published in 1897 by Bram Stoker. It had several plagiarism issues, and the people behind Nosferatu declared bankruptcy to avoid paying the lawsuit and agreed to destroy the entire film, which was saved, but because of that, Prana Film could not continue any further. Now, we have two approaches to the same movie: Nosferatu 1922 and Nosferatu 2024. In both films, directors from different eras play with darkness, but in N

I already have my favorite 2025 movie. Period.

In Robert Eggers' movies, characters can mercilessly slit throats with their jaws while howling as if they were wolves invoking gods, fart without feeling the smallest bit of shame and even laugh about it, feel sexually attracted to a black goat that promises a more "delicious" life… and even have intercourse with the most grotesque vampire ever seen on a big screen solely to save the world. Yes, all this and more is presented by this director who doesn't embrace conformism's ideas as a way to a

Nosferatu is a terrible remake, and Robert Eggers is wasting his talent

Releasing a gothic vampire film in 2024 is a challenge that requires strong justification—unless, as a filmmaker, you genuinely have fresh insights to express about the subject and can connect your retelling of an old story with the pulse of the present era. But the 2024 version of Nosferatu is not such a film. Rooted in Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula, this adaptation offers almost no new perspective on the original story, no contemporary reinvention, and no stylistic innovation that surpasses its

Nosferatu is a terrible remake, and Robert Eggers is wasting his talent

Nosferatu Sucks!

I'm not a fan of Robert Eggers and he did not win me over with Nosferatu. I will give him credit for the movie's authentic staging and gothic cinematography. However, its uninteresting characters and tired story make Nosferatu an insufferable watch. I left the theatre wondering why Eggers insists on taking himself so seriously. Given his background in production design, it is logical that Eggers would thrive in the realm of design and staging. In Nosferatu, I loved the recreation of 1830s' Germa

Bob Woolsey: I enjoyed this film, but only after I realised I couldn't take it seriously and I had to view it from arm's length. Can I just ask, why did they give Orlok that moustache? I still can't get over it. I loved the artistry of the film, and it's clear that Eggers purposefully doted over every detail... but then there's that moustache! I couldn't take any of his vampiring seriously once I saw it. It's just so bushy and hearty. It doesn't look like it's the same age as the character at all and it makes the design kind of comical for me. I also found Willem Dafoe's character to be comical - mostly because he takes the supernatural stuff so seriously. There were audible laughs in my theatre and I don't think Egger's intended for them. However, when I just suspended my disbelief and went along for the storybook ride, I did have some fun. And that final scene was great.

Nosferatu Has No Teeth

I was sitting in the theatre, nursing a half-empty bucket of popcorn and near empty cup of soda (they’re usually gone by the end of the previews). The lights in the theatre dimmed and an air of apprehension descended on the audience. A haunting image of a possessed Ellen Hutter (played by Lily-Rose Depp) appeared on screen, unknowingly calling forth a dark and mysterious force to become her guardian angel. A flashy series of quick cuts and dark images that feel overwhelming and daunting fire at

Nosferatu: The importance of choosing the right director

When I first heard about this Nosferatu remake my first two thoughts were "Another Dracula adaptation?" and “Why is Eggers wasting his time on this?”. And while I still kind of wish Eggers had done some of the original thinking he must have done, I have to admit that he was the right choice to take on this project and he did it very well. One of the reasons for this is the obvious one: the big changes to the story, like the vampire being summoned by Hellen and that being the reason for his obses

This year, more than ever, it seems the Academy's selections haven't completely reflected the audience's preferences. We often recognize the genuine artistry, passion, and films that genuinely connect with viewers. The 2025 awards season has highlighted numerous instan

Nosferatu: A Classic Vampire Story for the TikTok Generation

In a world where attention spans have been hacked down to the size of a TikTok video—think less than three seconds before you decide whether to scroll past or stick around—Robert Eggers has taken a seriously bold leap. The director, whose previous works (The Witch, The Lighthouse) have shown a flair for slow-burning, atmospheric horror, has chosen to resurrect one of the oldest and eeriest vampire stories known to cinema: Nosferatu. This is no lazy remake or shallow cash grab—it’s a reimagining

Nosferatu - The Best Horror Movie of The Century (So Far)

This past boxing day I took my dad to see ‘Nosferatu’, the new movie by director Robert Eggers, staring Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin and Willem Dafoe. My dad is an award-winning cinematographer, and I am a film student, so it just made sense for us to watch the movie on the big screen. It was worth it. The name ‘Nosferatu’ may ring a bell (if you know anything about film history, or are into horror classics, or the art movement called German Expressionism). It is because this stor

First, this film is not for just any audience. It is a movie that is best for those of a very particular palate. Those who appreciate and understand the many nuances and layering that only Gothic literary art and film at its finest provide. Originally, I had intended to write this article under the Fresh Film Focus, and while it should be under that category as well I determined it best to apply it to the WTF moments.

marvelousmars: I haven't watched most of these, but I'm definitely going to check them out now! I definitely disagree with Forsch on Juror #2, though. The film had an interesting theme, sure, but didn't seem to know what to do with it. I really wish the film had gone a bit deeper.
