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]

The exquisitely crafted horror tale reimagines the 1922 vampire classic with meticulous historical detail, haunting visuals and an unforgettably chilling Count Orlok.

As with many of the films of Robert Eggers, Nosferatu will likely reward many rewatches. Nosferatu is not only a work of passion from him, but his best work thus far. He will be hard pressed to exceed what he, and many others, have created here.

Its biggest miscalculation is in Orlok, who looked truly frightening in the previous versions but here could be mistaken as the heavy in an ‘80s-era NWA wrestling bout.

The look of “Nosferatu” is the most compelling part of the production. This includes the visuals as presented by Jarin Blaschke who embraces every shadow as if they were actors.
