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 conducts his "Symphony of Horror" with such dead seriousness it threatens to veer into camp. How much you buy into it depends on your embrace of his aesthetic.

And rats. Lots of rats.

Stunningly beautiful and atmospheric, with excellent performances from the cast, notably Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult. A standout amongst the crowded vampire genre.

The Eggers version raises some of the most unique questions about the primary female character – especially as a sexual being – in any Dracula adaptation.

This fascinating story of death and desire slowly succumbs to becoming the very disease it depicts, mesmerised by its own beautiful, soulless emptiness, fully open to the seductive corruption it so masterfully and pedantically conveys.
