I like how the horror aspect of the vampire is played up as well. This feels genuinely foreboding, especially since Nosferatu is barely shown. His effect on the populace is enough. Thanks for your thoughts.
That's the big difference between Dracula and Nosferatu imo, even though they're based on the same story. Dracula is about the vampire as personal horror stalking a small group of people, Nosferatu is about the vampire corrupting the entire world around him.
For the record, Nosferatu is the title and it is also a word that doesn`t properly exist, it`s a Hollywood invention moreso to describe the effect of vampires on mankind than anything else. It is speculated to come from a portmanteau of the Ancient Dacian(That`s what Romania was called when the Holy Roman Empire still existed)word "Nesuferitu" which means "offensive or insufferable one" and the Greek "nesophoros" which roughly means "disease bearing, plague spreader" which is essentially what Willem Dafoe`s character calls it in the trailer.The vampire himself is called Graf(Count in German)Orlok(Eagle in German which describes his other nickname, being the Bird of Death) and he is of course the German bootleg version of Dracula, indeed the original was nearly lost to time for that very reason, luckily some prints were salvaged by American, British and French sailors coming back from WW1 which many of the OG cast, producers and director also fought in.
The composer for this is Robin Carolan. Same composer who did the score for Eggers’ The Northman. There’s 2 tracks for this already available on streaming services and they’re both fantastic.
So for people who don't know, this is a remake of the 1922 movie Nosferatu, which was an unauthorized adaptation of Dracula by Bram Stoker that changed all the characters' names and made a few changes to the plot. Even though Dracula is in public domain now, this movie uses most of the names and plot from the 1922 movie. I don't know how much the 2024 movie keeps, but the big changes to the plot were that Nosferatu takes place in Germany instead of England, the vampire Orlok simply kills his victims instead of turning them into vampires, and he brings a deadly plague with him spread by rats. The plague is the biggest difference from the plot of Dracula.
I'm excited for this movie. Nosferatu (1922) is one of my favorite horror movies. This looks promising. I hope we don't see Bill Skarsgård before the movie but I know that ain't realistic.
Yoooo... That curtain shot was something wasn't it? Damn, I trust Robert Eggers. The Lighthouse is a flawless masterpiece to me, The Witch is also great and The Northman was not a bad movie but it definitely so far my least favorite of the three films of Robert Eggers but Nosferatu feels like it's a movie that Robert Eggers was made to do, super excited for this!
I just found yall channel, you just got a new subscriber; I like to hear you both converse about horror & film in general. I love all genres of film, this film have to watch the original film from back in the days; before I see this one.
I think that Willem Dafoe is Professor Abraham Van Helsing. The character from the 1897 gothic horror novel Dracula written by author Bram Stoker [Ireland]. Van Helsing is a Dutch polymath doctor with a wide range of interests and accomplishments, partly attested by the string of letters that follows his name: "MD, DPh., D.Litt., etc., indicating a wealth of experience, education, and expertise.
His character is called Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz, named for Albin Grau, the producer of the original Nosferatu and is described much like his namesake as "Being an occultist, alchemist and vampire hunter torn between the supposedly enlightened modern world and the ancient darkness he wrestles with".
“I am an appetite, nothing more. O’er centuries alone some beast I lay within the darkest pit. Til you that did wake me, enchantress and stirred me from my grave.”
The 1922 Nosferatu changed the names of all the characters because they didn't have the film rights, the Van Helsing character was renamed Bulwer. In this version his name is Von Franz. But you're right, he's basically Van Helsing.
Yes, the rats are because the movie is meant to be set in Europe during the black plague! There were a lot of people in this that Robert Eggers has worked with before in his previous films, like Willem Defoe, Ralph Ineson, and while Bill Skarsgard hasn't been in any other Robert Eggers movies, his brother Alexander was in the Northman. Anya Taylor Joy was also in 2 other Robert Eggers movies and was originally supposed to be in this one, but that fell through and she was replaced by Lily Rose Depp. I don't know if I'll see it on Christmas day, but I will definitely go see it that weekend. It looks good!
@RED-my9hl No, the 1922 film took place in a fictional town in Germany. I would assume it's the same for this version, but we don't know that yet. Also Romania is a European country.
@MadisonCLCoffing sure but I think they'll also go to Romania cuz that's where the count is from, also I saw traditional romanian clothing for a few seconds in the trailer, also why did u feel the need to tell me romania is in europe? U think Germany and Romania are the same just cuz they're in the same continent or? 💀 also this is not a direct adaptation of the movie, more like an inspiration from the 1922 version
@RED-my9hl what are you on about? 😭 what about that indicated I think Germany and Romania are the same? I said it took place in Europe, you were the one who said "AiN't ThIs SeT iN lIkE rOmAnIa?" Like Romania isn't also in Europe 😂 the original is set in Germany. Part of it may take place in Romania, but the movie as a whole will probably be set... in Germany. And no, it's a remake. If I had to guess it will take place in Germany, again, during a plague.

I'm so excited for this. Late Night with the Devil and this were my most anticipated movies this year.
@@jillk1973 those and Alien Romulus were ours! We are so excited!
The cinematography looks amazing and terrifying at the same time lol. Can't wait for this.
Exactly this!!
I haven't been this hyped for a movie in a while. Robert Eggers doesn't disappoint
I love the review and the logo
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
This right here is what we’ve all been asking for. Every part of this is immaculate. Them not showing him AMAZING
AGREED!!!

It definitely gives us hope that it will deliver on what its promised! And I hope we don’t either ~Kristie

The horse carriage scene was crazy
This gon be good
You can just feel it right?!
@@InLovewithHorror this is one time I'm hoping the trailer ain't lying lol
its better to be a suprise. best marketing is to keep Nosferatu a mystery
Horror film and probably film of the year
@@David-py6bz we’re in agreement
Corection is not quite Dracula , is Orlock . Nosferatu was heavily inspired by Dracula , the Novel.
Orlock. Not Olrock. Orlock.

Also, the character is Swiss, and Dafoe is the only actor in the cast actually of Swiss and German descent.
@@aspieanarchist5439 In the book, he's Dutch.
