As someone who went through a deep and intense vampire phase when I was about 13, one that never really ended, words could not describe how excited I was when the remake of Nosferatu was announced. Now I hate remakes on principal but I will never say no to more vampires. Vampires are always good, especially when we take them back to their roots. For those of you who don’t know the original Nosferatu film was an unauthorized Dracula adaptation so if you are noticing a beat for beat resemblance, you should.

But overall the film was great, if it weren’t for the pacing problems in the middle it would have earned a perfect core. I think as it stands it gets a good 8.5/10. Bill Skarsgaurd was seriously transformative as Nosferatu. And the rest of the cast was so perfect and expertly placed. Eggers proves that he is the guy for monster movies, the creep and gore is definitely his expertise. The stand out performance for me was Lily-Rose Depp, she brought just so much depth from a role that could have been very detached. It is easily one of the best movies of the year. And I love that it is putting real, creepy vampires back to the forefront of media.
