Nosferatu (Robert Eggers) • Page 16

My crush on Bill Skarsgard gets more confusing with each role he takes

 

He also made it a point early on to exclaim to her that he physically cannot resist her so it tracked

 

Think the rats were a choice related to the diaries and other source material from the time period.

Eggers said in an interview that linking the plague to vampires and vampires to rats came from leading theories from back in the day when people “really believed vampires were real”

 

I 100% disagree and I think having big boy money let him cook with this movie. Like I still think The Northman is his weakest film because as cool as it was, it was basically indie Viking Hamlet and aside from cool shots, it said nothing worth remembering.

 

My ranking at this point

The Lighthouse
Nosferatu
The VVitch
The Norseman

 

witch
northman
lighthouse
nosferatu

 

Love how this aged

 

This doesn screen here till Jan 1st but I just watched Tabu so heres my F. W. Murnau rankings

1. Tabu: A Story of the South Seas
2. Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
3. Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror

 

Loved this

 

To Sheila is an all time great album opener.

 

I don’t know if 9:15 AM is the ideal time to see this movie but here I am.

 

My 8:45 AM showing was packed! It was very foggy all weekend so even that early in the morning, the weather was fitting

 

also i didn't see the dong :(

something to watch for on my next viewing

 

The Lighthouse (9/10)
The Northman (8/10)
Nosferatu (7.5/10)
The Witch (7/10)

 

Only ranking by likelihood of me rewatching, they're all good though:

Nosferatu
The Northman
The Lighthouse
The VVitch

 

Dude is 4 for 4 at this point

 

Seeing The Witch at the bottom of people's lists is wild to me

 

it’s just such a slow burn up until the last few minutes

 

Ralph Ineson has like one of the all time coolest British accents

 

Most of his movies are, barring maybe The Northman

 

Loved this. I need to revisit The Lighthouse but I think this might be his best.

 

Nosferatu is not a slow burn at all. All of the stuff at the village/castle in the first act is arguably the best part of the movie

 

I think the pacing is great, slow or not, but tell that to everyone I've seen calling the movie boring lol
