"NOSFERATU" (2024) - 5/5
Beautifully shot and ethereal to look at. It's very much a mix of the original Bram Stoker Dracula novel and the original Nosferatu film in one (The Creatures design in this one is heavily inspired by the original Bram stoker novel, he's got a big bushy mustache).
There's one scene in particular which I love, it's at a crossroad at night with the moon light filtering through the trees above mixed with light snowfall and a dark carriage comes to pick up Nicholas holts character and he's entranced by it and floats into it.
Bill skarsgard is amazing in this, probably his best work, his voice is very deep, rumbly and menacing, see it in the cinema just for that, lily rose Depp is alot great! She has alot of physical acting she has to do and does it really well, it's a great performance. The rest of the cast is also amazing but these two were the standouts Imo.
The film is a slow burn and slowly builds up the dread, a couple of jumpscares here and there and some body horror but it's not that much tbh, I'd more so call this a very Dark fairy tale, alot of sexual undertones of grooming, consent and even rape to the film and it's erotic in some parts but that's usually how vampires are in literature, think of how vampires usually are? It's Man who stalks the night looking for a young girl and then he sneaks into her room to drink her blood. The act of drinking the blood has alot of sexual undertones in it's nature as usually its forced upon the victim but it "feels good" to them so they don't resist it. I'm sure you all get the dark implications.
Overall, it's a good film but I feel some might be put off the the pacing and dark content.
