@ I have actually been listening to various studies and reading different articles about how dreams actually shape our reality! It is absolutely mind boggling how vivid our dreams can be and how they can be interpreted for inspiration in our daily lives
@ from what I understand, my life is extremely boring if I was in a movie I’d be the most boring character. I wouldn’t do anything but stay in my house and work The only interesting things happen in my head I have no reason to have dreams so vivid
Saw the movie last night and that’s exactly what I said 30 minutes into the movie lol. I’d like to see him do Sleepy Hollow or a slightly darker A Christmas Carol.
C'mon, Robert Eggers needs to do his own stuff from now on. The biggest letdown of Nosferatu is that, as greatly as it is made, it is not new. There's a Tim Burton Sleepy Hollow film already that's pretty cool and with an awesome aesthetic. I'm much more interested in what he's planning The Knight to be.
I like both Bram Stoker's book and Nosferatu but it's clear he is still a fan of the book because there are at least a few details _from the book_ in the movie that aren't in any of the other Dracula or Nosferatu movies.
I swear this is the first film I saw that acknowledges the Count was one of the Solomonari in life, which is an often overlooked aspect of the novel; often ignoring this background in favour of creating a version of Vlad the Impaler as his past.
@@jakobrenner2230 Stoker's Count is both Solomonar and in fact Vlad Dracula; Helsing says: "He must indeed have been that Voivode Dracula who won his name against the Turk, over the great river on the very frontier of Turkey-land. If it be so, then was he no common man: for in that time, and for centuries after, he was spoken of as the cleverest and the most cunning, as well as the bravest of the sons of the land beyond the forest."
@@BatmanAoD Sort of. Stoker didn't know or care whether he was talking about Vlad III or his dad, and he stated that Dracula was a Szekely, which is way off for either of them. He basically copy-pasted "Count Dracula" and "Transylvania" over his existing names "Count Wampyre" (worst name ever) and "Styria" (borrowed from Carmilla). His character really wasn't *based* on Vlad III per se. And then created a pastiche of the careers of the Draculesti that he found in the same book. The adaptations tend to focus upon this and Florescu and McNally's attempt to link Dracula with Vlad III, and don't mention the Scholomance/Satanic aspect at all. That said, the latter is very much a throwaway mention for colour/flavour just as the implied Vlad stuff is. Neither aspect directly informs the character or his actions.
I don't know how this movie will do financially, but this is absolutely a star making role for Lily-Rose Depp. She just crushes it, every second she's on screen. Bill Skarsgard's ability to disappear into these horror characters is something special, too. He's a very solid actor, but give him some prosthetics and he's on another level.
That lead actress woman pissed me off with all that wild hysterical nonsense she did. Too much screen time. I heard sighs from the theater whenever she was on screen. It was cool at first but definitely way too much from her.

I’m amazed at how many people don’t really understand or know Nosferatu. Like they think that Eggers has delved into some kind of artistic obscurity here.
It's great to see there is actually amazing directors like Robert Eggers still making films that are enjoyable, i thought hope was all lost in these modern times. Saw 'Nosferatu' yesterday 10/10 rating from me, still thinking about it this morning 😶
I mean he does always admit his obsession with historical accuracy is mainly because it's easiest for him. He likes a lot of detail to get a good atmosphere, and if you just take everything directly from the history books you don't have to invent stuff yourself! And it's true that the victorians' storytelling conventions don't always translate well to a modern movie

I've been a fan of the man for years without knowing all that work belonged to this same guy. Now seeing him and his stutter just makes him even more relatable.
I respect Eggers’ decision but there is one point I disagree with: Dracula wasn’t an anti hero in the og novel, he was a pure force of evil, just like in Nosferatu, though even more powerful and terrifying. The romantic anti hero twist was put into the Copolla adaptation (and possibly in the earlier movie adaptations as well, which I can’t tell since I’m not familiar with those). I agree the love story around Dracula himself doesn’t improve the story at all, but rather downgrades the otherwise wonderful Copolla’s adaptation of the novel. On the other hand, I would love to see the ancient vampire portrayed by Eggers just as powerful as in the novel, a manipulative dark force, turning from a polite old aristocrat to a terrifying night creature climbing walls of the castle, able to take the form of an animal (story of Demeter) or defying time and age (young Dracula in London). And I would love to see the death of the undead Lucy in an Eggers’ movie, which I think is one of the most powerful scenes in the whole novel. I feel like the most exciting parts of the novel were either left out or depicted with much less impact, due to the decision to adapt Nosferatu rather than Dracula. I think the perfect mix would be a Dracula story with the backstory of Ellen/Mina kept just the way it was in Nosferatu, even including the tragic and more impactful Nosferatu ending. It would effectively leave out the naivity of the original story, while bringing in the rawness, darkness and tragedy of Nosferatu.
this movie was great. it made me question things and try to analyse it. sucb powerful cinematography and a very interesting diversion between internal struggles and a scary external evil
Great movie but the old Nosferatu looked scarier than the new one. The new one is just a guy with a mustasch but his voice was scary. The opening scene was amazing
"Without it becoming the tragic antihero story of a lovelorn vampire, which I'm also less interested in." Ha, as if Francis Ford Coppola hasn't had a tough enough year!
I love Coppola's Dracula, but that trope has been done to death and then Twilight dragged it through the gutter, so it's hard to take it seriously these days, or to feel sympathy for an immortal aristocrat who sucks people's blood and spreads sickness wherever he goes

Neither the original Dracula nor Nosferatu were gothic romances. Certainly not with the character of Dracula/Orlok. In Nosferatu Orlok is Death, a symbol of the Plague. He isn't tragic, he isn't lovelorn. As far as I call tell this whole Dracula in love with Mina bollocks started with Coppola's Dracula.
I just watched his Nosferatu and I really missed the other elements from Stoker’s novel. He wrote them for a reason. I really missed the brides, I really missed the count turning others into vampires and I really missed a story that was written to feel much bigger. Eggers’s Nosferatu is so beautiful and horrifying and yet feels super small for a two hours movie.
I rather liked that simplicity in Eggers take which is very much true to the 1922 film as well. It is rather infuriating that we’ve never gotten a really faithful adaptation of the Dracula novel but this clearly wasn’t the intention here. Robert loves Murnau’s film and wanted to pay tribute to it as much as possible.
I totally agree. Currently reading Dracula and am almost done with it and I prefer that story WAY more than this. It's so much more complex and personal. This film is visually stunning but it is WAY too sexualized, and almost feels like it just clicks feminist boxes than telling the original Dracula story. I don't know, I love Eggers and own all three of his previous films and most likely will own this one but my God the over-emphasis on sex was a little much for me.
@@topcover7390its a retelling of Nosferatu, not a retelling of Dracula. You guys have to understand THAT part of it the most. It's his take on Murnau's film, which is HIS take on the dracula tale (changed due to copywrite reasons) I've seen too many people complain that it deviates too much from Dracula. That is kind of the point.
@@topcover7390 I agree with you. As much as I enjoyed this new Nosferatu, I like the Dracula novel better because it's more eerie and much more grand in scale. However, one question: How does this movie tick feminist check boxes for you? I wasn't getting that vibe at all. Just curious.
@@dareka54oh this film is def very feminist, but most folks won’t notice it. It’s not from bad intentions, but it does ruin the believability of the ending. Makes Nosferatu’s death very unconvincing.
"Without it becoming the tragic antihero story of a lovelorn vampire, which I'm also less interested in." says Eggers, as he neatly punches a hole through another part of Coppola's film legacy.
Terrible movie. Just got out of it: Willem Dafoe carried this hard, but it wasn't enough. Eggers excels at original storys. I think he is too tied when doing remakes.
The problem is stroker is a better story teller... Nosferatu is an abomination to dracula. It's literally a plagiarized mess. I don't see a simple fairy tale and I sure don't see that in his film. A lot of depps performance is good but it doesn't blend well with the film. Her contortions bored me and she does it a lot. There are a lot of scenes where she is having spells from orlok but she always had them? Somehow she sees this evil spectre but still can't decide why this is happening until they meet face to face. That's not fairy tale anything. And he didn't have to make it about a real estate agent. I think he also missed the point of why the agent and not a nobleman was the main character. He was hard working and earned it. Whereas many other suitors were rich. You get that impression. Nosferatu builds the characters but doesn't put the rest together very well. The ending sucked. Literally a cock howling right when the sun comes up... They needed like one confrontation with the monster to show us how powerful he is. The first half of the movie, orlok is a vampire but the last half he is more of a ghost... Eggers had the right idea but didn't execute very well. Nosferatu was not better than dracula. I think that was also mentioned in the lawsuit which led to the mass court ordered destruction of the films. It's a great film and I will be owning it but it was draggy, ending sucked, and not put together very well. It was beautifully shot,acting is incredible and Orlok will definitely be remembered. There wasn't enough if him. I also didn't like how young his eyes looked. The eyes don't match the old man
I need to watch this one again. Lilly Depps acting was beyond distracting it made the movie almost unwatchable. I know there's a lot to like about the movie though
Respectfully Mr. Eggers, Count Orlok’s deliberate decision to self delete itself in your film was not very convincing at all. Not for such an evil and sinister monster/predator as he was. At least not in that manner. My suggestion that would have made the ending soooooo much more awesome/believable and unique. Here……. Prof Von Franz and the doctor hide away in the closet nearby with just enough crack in the door to keep an eye on Ellen and Count Orlok, because they are afraid he will not remain til the first crow of the cock. Prof Von Franz and the doc will stake him incase he tries to leave early, as a last resort. Thomas and a few boys go look for Count Orlok in his empty mansion to stake/convince Orlok no one is home with Ellen, cause he could prob sense Thomas. Ellen lures Orlok in as she normally does in previous versions. Orlok feasts on her and continues to do so for a while, but since she is starting to get weak/die, he spares her and says she is now his and he will come back to take her as the morning sun is coming soon. He tells her death/the plague will now stop as she has given herself to him. As he begins to leave, Ellen tries to keep him feeding til the sun comes up. He’s too strong and wise, and tells her NO he will NOT remain as the sun will kill him. He tells her he will be back at night to take her for once and for all. As Orlok begins to leave, he senses and hears Thomas rushing back home and hurries to leave….Von Franz and the doctor storms out of the closet at that very moment and stakes Orlok from the back, but it doesn’t go deep enough and he turns around and smacks them both across the room. He roars in anger and curses them all of death and destruction. He grabs the doc and kills him with a ferocious bite. He pulls Prof Von Franz towards him with telekinetic powers and holds him by the neck but prof Von Franz shows him a holy cross. It makes Orlok wince but doesn’t stop him. Thomas bursts through the bedroom door and Orlok turns to look at him. Orlok flings Von Franz away and goes to kill Thomas, his bitter enemy! As Orlok is abt to bite Thomas, Ellen uses all her weight and might to push the stake deeper into his heart from the back. Orlok shrieks and turns over to look at Ellen, gasping for air. Angry and dying. The cock crows and the sun rises and begins to burn Orlok. He begins to turn into bones and then ashes. Ellen succumbs to her injuries and blood loss. Thomas and Von Franz are left disheartened and defeated. But, the evil is gone due to all their efforts and Ellen’s sacrifice. The End. 🤷🏻♂️ More convincing/believable for such an evil monster/predator. This is how such predators are hunted and killed. They would not simply self delete over a meal/dinner. Gotta get them in the hunt. BUT I MADE SURE ELLEN GOT HER FLOWERS/WIN TOO 💪🧒
I don’t see it as self deletion. In my mind, he doesn’t need to “flee”, he just transfers his body in a blink of an eye. He simply turns up and tries to “leave” as the sun hits him, he cannot, and he dies. Occam’s razor.
@ nah, that’s incorrect. You missed a key part. In this version, Orlok looks up before the sun rises, and knowing the sun is coming up soon, he intentionally goes back down to feed on Ellen til he dies. Eggers clearly shows that. He wants the audience to know Orlock chose to die vs fleeing/teleporting in time. That’s flawed based on all other character traits Eggers has shown with his version of Orlok. It’s gimmicky.
I liked the movie - but Depp was my least fav performance - so overacted (though, I try account for perhaps some homage to the talkie time period of the original).
I'm quickly becoming a fan of Robert Eggers work and I can't wait to see what he will make next. I wouldn't mind him taking on a Dracula horror story too.
I saw the new Nosferatu last weekend and it was largely good. Beautiful visuals. Great casting. Count Orlock looks pretty odd compared to his previous incarnations, and he spends far too much time in the shadows. The most annoying part are those Modern Movie conceits…the jump scares and the thunderous levels of noise at time. No subtlety in the movie, hardly any at all. For a moody discount Dracula sort of story, it is entertaining, but not the best version.
With all due respect Mr. Eggers the sea or the voyage part wasn't necessary at all in your great movie German and the west of Europe are one land no need for sea trip 😅 guess you missed that part never mind and congrats Sir🎉
I haven't seen the movie, but for most of human history-until maybe the mid 19th century-travel by sea between places ostensibly connected by land was still common. Railroads hadn't been built, and roads for horse-drawn carriages were barely passible at best. Ships by comparison could easily accommodate large amounts of supplies, crew, and passengers.
@amolove24 agreed but it's not necessary in a movie talks about events happened on the same land that's what I meant it fits England more than Germany.
Nope. Eggers put braces on the Valkyrie...what'd he do this time...give the vampire a cell phone?.....eggers movies are shit because he doesn't spot the modern shit in his own productions for period pieces....
Well Nosferatu is basically an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. So, in a way he did Dracula, this one is even closer. Still, Coppola´s 90s version of Dracula is way better than 2024 Nosferatu, for sure. The effects, the makeup, story... Way better
Respectfully - it seems like he didn't actually read the novel Dracula. Past the beginning anyway. Which is fine, I get this is meant to be a remake of the b&w film adaptation - just found it odd.
It’s because it’s accurate to the time For when He was alive an ancient Turkish nobleman didn’t look particularly awesome as giant cheekbones, and large mustaches with rugged angular faces and usually dressed in lots of fur

I don't know, I love Eggers and own all three of his previous films and most likely will own this one but my God the over-emphasis on sex was a little much for me.
@@topcover7390its a retelling of Nosferatu, not a retelling of Dracula. You guys have to understand THAT part of it the most. It's his take on Murnau's film, which is HIS take on the dracula tale (changed due to copywrite reasons) I've seen too many people complain that it deviates too much from Dracula. That is kind of the point.
@@topcover7390 I agree with you. As much as I enjoyed this new Nosferatu, I like the Dracula novel better because it's more eerie and much more grand in scale.
However, one question: How does this movie tick feminist check boxes for you? I wasn't getting that vibe at all. Just curious.
@@dareka54oh this film is def very feminist, but most folks won’t notice it. It’s not from bad intentions, but it does ruin the believability of the ending. Makes Nosferatu’s death very unconvincing.
It's a love story . With moustaches and blood.
Flavor Savor.
I just wish he told his own story with it and not a retelling of the original nosforatu which is basically Dracula.
I prefer he had done Dracula. It has more and better scenes.
If you don’t have time to watch the whole video I’ll shorten it up for you, he said it’s because Dracula is gay. True story.
Eggers has made 4 of the best films I’ve ever seen. He is an exceptional filmmaker. The best in modern times.
This is a stunning and beautiful film and I loved it although I don't see it as a horror
"I mean"
"Without it becoming the tragic antihero story of a lovelorn vampire, which I'm also less interested in." says Eggers, as he neatly punches a hole through another part of Coppola's film legacy.
I don’t think Eggers has read the Dracula book.
Who cares.
What a fantastic movie.

Only a few people will understand this... but Robert Eggers needs to do a Darkest Dungeon movie.
That game looks so cool.
Terrible movie. Just got out of it: Willem Dafoe carried this hard, but it wasn't enough. Eggers excels at original storys. I think he is too tied when doing remakes.
Didnt care for it either
The problem is stroker is a better story teller... Nosferatu is an abomination to dracula. It's literally a plagiarized mess. I don't see a simple fairy tale and I sure don't see that in his film. A lot of depps performance is good but it doesn't blend well with the film. Her contortions bored me and she does it a lot. There are a lot of scenes where she is having spells from orlok but she always had them? Somehow she sees this evil spectre but still can't decide why this is happening until they meet face to face. That's not fairy tale anything. And he didn't have to make it about a real estate agent. I think he also missed the point of why the agent and not a nobleman was the main character. He was hard working and earned it. Whereas many other suitors were rich. You get that impression. Nosferatu builds the characters but doesn't put the rest together very well. The ending sucked. Literally a cock howling right when the sun comes up... They needed like one confrontation with the monster to show us how powerful he is. The first half of the movie, orlok is a vampire but the last half he is more of a ghost...
Eggers had the right idea but didn't execute very well. Nosferatu was not better than dracula. I think that was also mentioned in the lawsuit which led to the mass court ordered destruction of the films. It's a great film and I will be owning it but it was draggy, ending sucked, and not put together very well. It was beautifully shot,acting is incredible and Orlok will definitely be remembered. There wasn't enough if him. I also didn't like how young his eyes looked. The eyes don't match the old man
I need to watch this one again. Lilly Depps acting was beyond distracting it made the movie almost unwatchable. I know there's a lot to like about the movie though
Tf do you mean, her acting was the most engaging part
Respectfully Mr. Eggers, Count Orlok’s deliberate decision to self delete itself in your film was not very convincing at all. Not for such an evil and sinister monster/predator as he was. At least not in that manner. My suggestion that would have made the ending soooooo much more awesome/believable and unique. Here…….
Prof Von Franz and the doctor hide away in the closet nearby with just enough crack in the door to keep an eye on Ellen and Count Orlok, because they are afraid he will not remain til the first crow of the cock. Prof Von Franz and the doc will stake him incase he tries to leave early, as a last resort. Thomas and a few boys go look for Count Orlok in his empty mansion to stake/convince Orlok no one is home with Ellen, cause he could prob sense Thomas.
Ellen lures Orlok in as she normally does in previous versions. Orlok feasts on her and continues to do so for a while, but since she is starting to get weak/die, he spares her and says she is now his and he will come back to take her as the morning sun is coming soon. He tells her death/the plague will now stop as she has given herself to him. As he begins to leave, Ellen tries to keep him feeding til the sun comes up. He’s too strong and wise, and tells her NO he will NOT remain as the sun will kill him. He tells her he will be back at night to take her for once and for all.
As Orlok begins to leave, he senses and hears Thomas rushing back home and hurries to leave….Von Franz and the doctor storms out of the closet at that very moment and stakes Orlok from the back, but it doesn’t go deep enough and he turns around and smacks them both across the room. He roars in anger and curses them all of death and destruction. He grabs the doc and kills him with a ferocious bite. He pulls Prof Von Franz towards him with telekinetic powers and holds him by the neck but prof Von Franz shows him a holy cross. It makes Orlok wince but doesn’t stop him. Thomas bursts through the bedroom door and Orlok turns to look at him. Orlok flings Von Franz away and goes to kill Thomas, his bitter enemy!
As Orlok is abt to bite Thomas, Ellen uses all her weight and might to push the stake deeper into his heart from the back. Orlok shrieks and turns over to look at Ellen, gasping for air. Angry and dying. The cock crows and the sun rises and begins to burn Orlok. He begins to turn into bones and then ashes.
Ellen succumbs to her injuries and blood loss. Thomas and Von Franz are left disheartened and defeated. But, the evil is gone due to all their efforts and Ellen’s sacrifice.
The End. 🤷🏻♂️
More convincing/believable for such an evil monster/predator. This is how such predators are hunted and killed. They would not simply self delete over a meal/dinner. Gotta get them in the hunt. BUT I MADE SURE ELLEN GOT HER FLOWERS/WIN TOO 💪🧒
I don’t see it as self deletion. In my mind, he doesn’t need to “flee”, he just transfers his body in a blink of an eye. He simply turns up and tries to “leave” as the sun hits him, he cannot, and he dies. Occam’s razor.
@ nah, that’s incorrect. You missed a key part. In this version, Orlok looks up before the sun rises, and knowing the sun is coming up soon, he intentionally goes back down to feed on Ellen til he dies. Eggers clearly shows that. He wants the audience to know Orlock chose to die vs fleeing/teleporting in time.
That’s flawed based on all other character traits Eggers has shown with his version of Orlok. It’s gimmicky.
Fucken hell, this is the ending we should've had...
I liked the movie - but Depp was my least fav performance - so overacted (though, I try account for perhaps some homage to the talkie time period of the original).
I'm quickly becoming a fan of Robert Eggers work and I can't wait to see what he will make next.
I wouldn't mind him taking on a Dracula horror story too.
He should have done Dracula lol, the movie was okay…
I was bored by this movie. It's was like watching Dracula, but so bland. The Last Voyage of the Demeter was more my pace
I saw the new Nosferatu last weekend and it was largely good. Beautiful visuals. Great casting. Count Orlock looks pretty odd compared to his previous incarnations, and he spends far too much time in the shadows. The most annoying part are those Modern Movie conceits…the jump scares and the thunderous levels of noise at time. No subtlety in the movie, hardly any at all. For a moody discount Dracula sort of story, it is entertaining, but not the best version.
What is the best version?
@ The 1979 version.

With all due respect Mr. Eggers the sea or the voyage part wasn't necessary at all in your great movie German and the west of Europe are one land no need for sea trip 😅 guess you missed that part never mind and congrats Sir🎉
I haven't seen the movie, but for most of human history-until maybe the mid 19th century-travel by sea between places ostensibly connected by land was still common. Railroads hadn't been built, and roads for horse-drawn carriages were barely passible at best. Ships by comparison could easily accommodate large amounts of supplies, crew, and passengers.
In the Marines we still took ships from one end of California to the other
The voyage is part of the Dracula novel which the original nosferatu is biased on so that’s probably why it’s kept.
They could've sailed through the Mediterranean and passed the Dardanelles and Bosporus Straits to Romania.
@amolove24 agreed but it's not necessary in a movie talks about events happened on the same land that's what I meant it fits England more than Germany.
Subverted feminist ending. Nasty filth disguised as art. Great cinematography and film score though.
:-)
Nope. Eggers put braces on the Valkyrie...what'd he do this time...give the vampire a cell phone?.....eggers movies are shit because he doesn't spot the modern shit in his own productions for period pieces....
They weren't braces they were carved teeth, for which there is archaeological evidence. Historical inacuraccy is an odd choice to slam Eggers with.
This film was comically bad. The people in my theater were literally laughing out loud.
Sadly Nosferatu wasn't good.
Waiting for a Nosferatu vs The VVitch crossover.
Well Nosferatu is basically an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. So, in a way he did Dracula, this one is even closer. Still, Coppola´s 90s version of Dracula is way better than 2024 Nosferatu, for sure. The effects, the makeup, story... Way better
Respectfully - it seems like he didn't actually read the novel Dracula. Past the beginning anyway. Which is fine, I get this is meant to be a remake of the b&w film adaptation - just found it odd.
There are countless Dracula's, now there are only 5 Nosferatu's
Boring Feminist slop for a film
So glad he didn’t pick Dracula, that would have ruined the franchise!
There’s been dozens of bad Draculas and there is no one Dracula franchise 😂
Nosferatu is dracula dummy
He said while breathing entirely through his mouth.
Can he explain why he gave him a dumb mustache!? 😒
It's probably how counts of the time looked. Just think of portraits of Vlad Tepes
Men of the time orlok was about all had them
It’s because it’s accurate to the time For when He was alive an ancient Turkish nobleman didn’t look particularly awesome as giant cheekbones, and large mustaches with rugged angular faces and usually dressed in lots of fur
The actual Vlad the Impaler and in the original Dracula book, Dracula had a long moustace like that
@ but with hair on his palms
Just seen it, it's unbelievably good.
