- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2025Yes it is one of the best versions of Dracula, but it's not about Dracula so how?
Well when this was first produced, this is the third production of it that I know of, the first time they made it they wanted to make it about Dracula but they couldn't get permission from the Bram Stoker estate so they changed the names of all the characters and the locations, but even so they left so much of the original Dracula that the Bram Stoker estate still sued for copyright, so yes the story is Dracula though they have totally changed the ending. But up until the hunt for Count Orlock to distroy him the Dracula novel is unmistakablle. Personally I think I prefer this one's ending, it stays with the gothic supernatural romance of the story. I always thought the novel slips into almost a western style action chase and fight ending.
But either way this is a good movie, the only fault I had with it was I couldn't really empathise with any of the charcters; not only had their names changed but to a certain extent so had their personalities and I didn't really take to any of them.
Everything else was quite impressive and gave the whole story an even more earthy down in the dirt atmosphere, more that most other previous vampire movies, which made it all the more Gothic and authentic.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2025I loved The Lighthouse (the first effective Lovecraftian horror movie to date) and really enjoyed The Northman (for all that it was more Robert E Howard than authentic Viking) so had high expectations for Eggers' Nosferatu. Visually it's gorgeous, with moonlit-monochrome landscapes, castles that look bleak and comfortless, hillsides where you can feel the winter chill.
Why is there a but? The original Nosferatu was silent; this is the talkie version -- and, oh boy, is it full of talk. There are three problems with the dialogue. There's too much of it, to begin with. Eggers has to pad a very slight story (which was stretched even at the original runtime of 80 or 90 minutes) which is after all no more than Dracula Lite, so characters prattle on and on in scenes that aren't really adding anything.
Also the idiom is weird. It's a parody of the way people talk in early 19th century novels -- sometimes with modern neologisms, as when Van Helsing (or whatever he's called in this version) says, "I came here all these years ago" when he means "all those years ago". The effect is a bit like The Fast Show's Regency sketch ("I'll get me cloak") stretched out over two hours. Of course, characters in the movie can't talk as people really would have done in 1838 -- it should all be in German, for one thing -- but it shouldn't come across as fake and risible. Unless your goal is Young Frankenstein, say, which this film could easily have turned into with just a nudge.
And then there's the way characters describe what's going to happen. Normally when they do that in a movie it sets up a plot twist. "We'll go to X, find Y, and meanwhile you do Z" means that that whole plan is destined to go awry. Here they talk about what they're going to do and that's exactly what does happen. There was a car safety ad that ran in the cinema just before Nosferatu, and that ad had more surprises in two minutes than this whole movie.
Maybe there just isn't much you can do with the story, given that it was only ever a stripped-down rip-off of Dracula. Eggers bulks it out with a psychic, an occultist, an alchemist and a vampire (Blake Snyder would call that quadruple mumbo jumbo) without adding anything. The psychic is superbly irritating, coming across like a conspiracy nut ranting insensitively at everyone around her when anyone less fanatical would see it wasn't a good time. The alchemist disapproves of modern science, and says so at great length in that cod-Victorian idiom, yet his main weapon against the vampire seems to be kerosene, plentiful here a decade before it was actually invented.
The vampire is much bigger and growlier and more muscular than in previous versions, so if you find tigers and lions scary you'll like that. I kept feeling I'd seen all this before, which may not be Eggers' fault. Maybe this just isn't a story worth resurrecting.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2025One of the greatest horror stories ever told filmed and acted in the highest form. If you love a traditional/classic "old" style monster movie, in terms of the traditional Vampire, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Swamp Thing etc etc stories, then this is a must! This unsettling tale of obsession between an ancient evil and young woman is shot beautifully, and acted brilliantly! A movie that will become a timeless classic and watched 50 years from now!

PLOT...
A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.
What a great start to the year with a horror masterpiece! Director Robert Eggers (The Northman, The VVitch) has got another hit on his hands with this beautiful gothic retelling of the original 1922 movie and of course its based on the iconic story of Dracula written by Bram Stoker which this story was pretty much ripped off from originally! If you've seen Bram Stokers Dracula with Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder you will see if follows the story in a very similar fashion except for name changes like Dracula is named Orlok. However this new version of the story still feels original and its an amazing looking fantasy especially with the fantastic cinematography which has never looked so good in a horror movie, every scene is a work of art on the screen. The effects and make-up is great too, the cast is top notch and there's many famous faces, Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Ineson all playing great characters! Good music score too to add to the creepiness, its an overall amazing movie that absolutely must be seen. 2025 is off to a good start.
Running time 2hrs 12mins, 2025. English language movie (some English subtitles) Rated 15.
