Nosferatu

[Lily-Rose Depp's] performance is really something else.

Eggers is trying to do something different than the other movies, but in a sense he's playing into the same overwrought scariness. The film could use a lot more lightness, if you will.

The film is fine — an artisanal horror made with care and invention. But... what sticks is the Gothic high style: queasy lamplight, small coffins, imperious doctors. All good things in context — but side plates in need of a dripping, rare main course. 

This is much more of a romp than I had expected.

...most entrancing early on during its ominous, dread-soaked set pieces.

Bill Skarsgård does his thing phenomenally, backed by top-notch prosthetic makeup and the use of a sinister voice. [Full reivew in Spanish]

Eggers has captured what makes Nosferatu a classic tale, imbuing the story with his own touches while keeping the theme intact.

In choosing to make Count Orlok repulsive, you sap it of both the metaphorical potential and the effect you want on your audience.

Nosferatu is a hauntingly beautiful fever dream that’s gorgeously crafted and bloody terrifying.

Nosferatu may not reach the pinnacle of vampire cinema, but it remains a taut and eerie spectacle anchored by strong, compelling performances.
