fI wish Eggers would adapt 'The Shadow Over Insmouth' by H.P. Lovecraft. His style (especially that used in The Lighthouse) is absolutely perfect for this story.
I’m very excited about this movie, but I think it’s such a bad idea to release it on Christmas Day. Not only will it probably fail financially, but it will probably get ignored by the Oscars. I’m hyped for this movie though.
I like that you put film excerpts in your video, a lot of critics don’t bother (lazy). I liked your review! I’ve seen Nosferatu 2 times at an art house, 7-8 years apart. INot scary at all. No jump scares. But it is creepy and you want to be with people, and lights, and joy after you come out of it.
Thanks for your review. I can't wait to watch it next month. I like the lighthouse. Willem Dafoe is one of my favorite actors. I've never seen the original from the 1920s, but I still want to see it.
Haven’t seen it yet, but knowing the acclaim surrounding Eggers last few films and yet again this time around, I would very much be down for a spoiler review! Also, that SpongeBob intro was EVERYTHING 😭
I absolutely love Robert Eggers attention to detail in his movies. He just immerses you in the world of every single one of his movies. Whether its through the dialogue or the sets or the costumes, as soon as you start watching his movies you just get transported into that setting. I have no doubts this will be another home run.
This might be one of the best, if not the best, horror remakes of all time. I firmly believe Max Schreck's Orlock is one of the best film performances in cinema history. Just his design, the way he moves, and his expressions still put you in a dreamlike trance today as it did over a hundred years ago. The use of shadows and creative shots set an atmosphere that, to this day, remains unique in the realm of the horror genre. While many other Dracula adaptations have been good, including the 1979 Nosferatu, no other vampire adaptation accomplished the same dread on me as the original Nosferatu did. That is until this version came out. Much like Schreck's performance, Skarsgard disappears into the role. His movement and expression feel faithful yet take their own creative liberties. I also like how Orlock speaks a dead language that adds an extra layer to the surrealism his performance provides. I also like how the iconic use of shadows in the original has been updated in this version creating that dreamlike atmosphere. And just the mood of the film and that looming sense of dread is just mesmerizing to witness. This is definitely one of my favorite Robert Eggers films to date.
I got to visit one of the sets thanks to someone I know, and let me tell you… very immersive and very impressive! Can’t wait to see it on the big screen.
Btw I was wondering why you never reviewed a single season of the series Fargo? I definitely would have loved you to review season 5 when it came out and the series in general
I obviously haven’t seen the movie but If a horror movie is going to make an award season splash it’s Nosferatu. I’m biased since horror is my favorite genre. Thank you for the review .
Lily Rose Depp is truly a remarkable phenomenal actress like her most famous father Johnny Depp. She has this magic and charisma in every project that she has done. Definitely proved she not in his shadow anymore. I'm probably going to watch this film. I have never been a fan of Robert Egger's film because it wasn't my cup of tea and kind of boring but this project very much looks interesting. Thank you for this wonderful review as always Austin!!!
@@marvelboi3416 perleeze, if she wasn’t Johnny Depp’s daughter she’d be bussing tables in LA and sucking producer’s dicks for any minor role she could get her hands on.
I need some advice, i got to wait till first week of January to see this film because thats when my 2 friends who im going with are available, were planning for a specific day on the 18th this month. But we won't see it till week after holiday week, any advice to wait patiently for then?
The movie takes place in the Victorian Era the late 1800’s-1900’s not the early 1800’s. This makes a huge difference in setting up the movie. You should read about the Victorian’s and what they were all about, creepy.
Looks good indeed. What is the difference between this film and Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. ? Both stories seem rather similar. Great review though. 9.3 ? Wow.
They are similar because the original Nosferatu movie was the first ( not official) adaptation of Stokers Dracula novel. But they didn't have the rights so they changed names, setting and the later parts of the story. If Dracula is a typical Victorian novel I would describe Nosferatu as a "what if Dracula was adapted into a germanic folktale?" Something like the Brothers Grimm wrote for example. The big difference is that the secondary characters are all ommitted or pushed into irrelevance. No brides, No Goldaming, No Quincy, No Seward and even the Lucy arc is left out. Plus Van Helsing isn't a factor in this Version. Nosferatu was inspired not only by Dracula, but also by the Horrors of World War I and the spanish flu. Unlike Dracula, who was mainly interested in exploring England to feast and spread his curse, Count Orlok in the OG is more like a cosmic or folkloric monster. He is very connected to rats and pestillence and though his presence he spreads the plague over Europe. So not only is he a bloodsucker, but also a pest (Kind of like Godzilla, who emanates radiation). Therefore Ellen (Nosferatu's Version of Mina) gets more agency. Look at Nosferatu more like an AU Version of the classic Dracula story. A lot of set up is eerily similar but in detail both diverge. I would even go so far as to say that most Hollywood adaptations of Dracula take more cues from Nosferatu than the actual Dracula novel. For example Nosferatu brought up the sunlight weakness. The novel versions of Dracula and Camilla could walk in sunlight just fine.
Moin, a wonderful review. To see the roots of this movie please watch Nosferatu - Eine Symphonie des Grauens 1922 by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, Vampyr - Der Traum des Allan Gray 30/32 by Carl Theodor Dreyer, Nosferatu - Phantom der Nacht 1979 with Klaus Kinski and by Werner Herzog, Bram Stoker’s Dracula 1992 by Francis Ford Coppola ( Tom Waits as Renfield! ), Shadow of the Vampire (2000) by E. Elias Merhige. Have fun! Regards from SH Germany ... Jörg
I’m concerned. The original is one of the greatest films ever. Plus, I didn’t enjoy Eggers other films. And Skaarsgard 💤 💤. Is he the only actor around these days ?
Well the original wasnt exaclty scary. People seem to over hype it in that regard. It was unnerving just like you said this one is. So looks like eggers is a true fan of the orginal and stuck with the theme.
Robert eggars building his own world, sooner than latter he will get much deserved big studio movie with massive budget, I want him make next part of dawn of the dead
If that movie is not that much more horror-ie than Bram Stokers Dracula then I would just NOT call it a Horror movie BUT a Dark Fantasy Romance. And then some might be more open to giving awards.
I read in one review that Orlock speaks and brainwashes Depp's character to speak "Dacian", a dead Balkan language lost to time hundreds of years before this film takes place.
My Best horror movies of 2024: #1 Strange Darling #2 Nosferatu #3 Longlegs #4 Oddity #5 Terrifier 3 #6 Smile 2 #7 First Omen #8 Late Night With The Devil #9 Heretic #10 Immaculate
@ well , you have to understand I had extremely high expectations haha . I loved the Witch . One of my favorite movies . I’m hearing this wasn’t his best film nor really that scary . So I am still absolutely going to see it , but my expectations have been lowered a bit .
I'm so happy Lily Rose Depp gave a great performance.That TV show she did critics ripped her apart,she wasn't good but the writing was awful.The lead actor she co starred with was terrible,one of the worst acting performance's I've seen in the last 5 yrs.
Crazy to me that Robert Eggars is such a big SpongeBob fan that he gave a random side character from one episode an entire movie
Hahaha remarkable comment
@@AustinBurkeso exited. Did you watch your screeners of Nickel Boys, The Brutalist and other films?
Eggers needs to make a Greek epic. Theseus and the Minotaur maybe
I really want robert eggers to make a pirate movie
Oh yes! With a ghost ship and a kraken plz
YES!!!!!!
Dude you are cooking
Uncomfortable is what Eggers does best - Love his work !
True!!
Robert Eggers is a must go to the cinema for me. Love his work.
THE INTRO! 😂 Review is already a 10/10.
I told you bro 😂😂
@ you did, you did 😂 you’re a man of your word!
fI wish Eggers would adapt 'The Shadow Over Insmouth' by H.P. Lovecraft. His style (especially that used in The Lighthouse) is absolutely perfect for this story.
Ooohhh yes I'd love that. Or Call of Cthulu.
This is the movie I've been looking forward most of this year, can't wait for it to hit theaters. Great review, as usual, Austin!
Hope you enjoy it!
I’m very excited about this movie, but I think it’s such a bad idea to release it on Christmas Day. Not only will it probably fail financially, but it will probably get ignored by the Oscars. I’m hyped for this movie though.
I'm really worried that my brain is overhyping this but I'm so excited
Same
Based on your review, I will definitely love this movie. So hyped, but it unfornately arrives a week later here in Brazil...
I like that you put film excerpts in your video, a lot of critics don’t bother (lazy). I liked your review!
I’ve seen Nosferatu 2 times at an art house, 7-8 years apart. INot scary at all. No jump scares. But it is creepy and you want to be with people, and lights, and joy after you come out of it.

Thanks for your review. I can't wait to watch it next month. I like the lighthouse. Willem Dafoe is one of my favorite actors. I've never seen the original from the 1920s, but I still want to see it.
This movie personally is a lifetime event not a movie of the year. Definitely best thing to ever happen, thank you Mr Eggers
ill wait to watch this review
at _night_
AHHHH I BURNT MY HAND
at night
M.mm m k m m MN m m m km m😅 m. k
M man k
I’ll be back after Christmas when I see this!
this review makes me think of _shadow of the vampire,_ where it wasn't a scare-a-minute horror, but it truly felt like a pure horror story
Problem is everyone is saying the movie is not scary at all.
Haven’t seen it yet, but knowing the acclaim surrounding Eggers last few films and yet again this time around, I would very much be down for a spoiler review! Also, that SpongeBob intro was EVERYTHING 😭
Good review - ty :) looking forward to seeing the movie
Hope you enjoy it!
The only good Christmas movie we might have this year. 😁

That’s so sweet!
I am really excited for this film I am wondering if it’s gonna get in the best picture area😃
I would love it
It can’t be a review from Austin without a SpongeBob clip. 😂 Seriously though, my most anticipated movie of the year! Robert Eggers hasn’t missed yet!
😂😂
I would love an Eggers tier list from Austin
Oh I like this idea
Luv hearing about the visual symmetry as my fav part of Wes Anderson style
Btw I was wondering why you never reviewed a single season of the series Fargo? I definitely would have loved you to review season 5 when it came out and the series in general
Is there any reason to go watch this if you’ve seen bram stokers Dracula
Bring on the _Spoilers!_
I obviously haven’t seen the movie but If a horror movie is going to make an award season splash it’s Nosferatu. I’m biased since horror is my favorite genre. Thank you for the review .
Academy Award Best Actress nomination for Lily-Rose Depp
Accurate
Always had faith in Lily rose-Depp!

She couldn't be more dead behind the eyes. Stop the hyperbole with this woman.
@@alobo9937agree, I love Eggers’ films but my biggest concern with this one is Depp’s acting ability.
@@thefinalword1980 This felt like desperate casting across the board. Would have been more interesting with unknowns.
@@marvelboi3416 perleeze, if she wasn’t Johnny Depp’s daughter she’d be bussing tables in LA and sucking producer’s dicks for any minor role she could get her hands on.
@ shame Anya TJ couldn’t comit due to scheduling conflicts, she acts circles around LR Depp
Austin - Are You Going To Do A Live Stream Before The End Of The Year?
Love this man. Great review. Which is scarier......This....or the remake of Salems Lot?
This!!
@@AustinBurke thank goodness.
Cant wait to see this movie Robert Eggers is one of my favorite newer directors from the 2010s and super duper ready for this movie
That early, alittle early cut was comedic goldd😊
Ok, I'm not a big horror fan but you convinced me to check it out. Thanks for the review
oh dang was hoping for a 5 star
austin have you seen the werner herzog film?
Hey Austin, who’s your favorite evil movie character who was good all along?
I’m excited for this movie, I’ve been wanting this for a long time now and Robert eggers is the perfect choice for director and the cast is amazing
Im super excited ! Hope I like it
I need some advice, i got to wait till first week of January to see this film because thats when my 2 friends who im going with are available, were planning for a specific day on the 18th this month. But we won't see it till week after holiday week, any advice to wait patiently for then?
So great that all of his films are 9+... Can't wait to see this one.

It's gonna be tought to beat out The Substance for movie of the year.
You’re like the only other person who made the sponge bob joke haha
Haha yessssss

Where did you watch it
Critics Choice screening :)
I’m concerned. The original is one of the greatest films ever. Plus, I didn’t enjoy Eggers other films. And Skaarsgard 💤 💤. Is he the only actor around these days ?
Well the original wasnt exaclty scary. People seem to over hype it in that regard. It was unnerving just like you said this one is. So looks like eggers is a true fan of the orginal and stuck with the theme.
It's releasing here on 10 January 😢
damn! my country it is on Christmas...
Wil this get Oscar noms or Oscar’s gonna ignore horror again?
Edit- great review btw 👏
They’re probably ignore it… sadly…
That the Academy will NEVER give an actor award to a horror film.. is a fucking disgrace.
Robert eggars building his own world, sooner than latter he will get much deserved big studio movie with massive budget, I want him make next part of dawn of the dead
I hope so, but after the Northman he doesn't seem interested in making big studio films
If that movie is not that much more horror-ie than Bram Stokers Dracula then I would just NOT call it a Horror movie BUT a Dark Fantasy Romance.
And then some might be more open to giving awards.
I read in one review that Orlock speaks and brainwashes Depp's character to speak "Dacian", a dead Balkan language lost to time hundreds of years before this film takes place.

@davidzoller8246 I didn't put it because I wasn't sure if it counts a horror movie
@@sebbvell3426 oh it def is my friend
Nosferatu original isn't scary but it's worth watching and it's free on TH-cam movies.
Lily Rose Depp looks so much like Black Swan’s Natalie Portman.
No it's patrick
I’m shocked,😮 shocked you have never seen the original.
I always think of that SpongeBob clip when I hear about this movie 😂
I love this director and this was my number one movie to see this year . But the reception I am hearing so far is making me a little less excited :(
Wait, really? I’ve heard great things from other critics!
@ well , you have to understand I had extremely high expectations haha . I loved the Witch . One of my favorite movies . I’m hearing this wasn’t his best film nor really that scary . So I am still absolutely going to see it , but my expectations have been lowered a bit .
Dune Part Two came out this year. So nope.
W0W!
Ah yes. Nose Feratu
Someone didn’t watch the whole review lol
How can it possibly be movie of the year ? The movies official release date is set for January 1st 2025.
Christmas Day for us in the U.S.
Hey Austin I Wanna see this with my mom but are the sex scenes very explicit ?
I would say so :/
I heard he dosent show up as like the full character till like almost 2 hours in and just the way everyone is like omg its amazing !!! Its gonna suck
Huh? That’s not true at all
Looks like someone forgot Dune Part 2 came out this year.
If anyone didn’t forget that, it’d be me haha
As good as it may be do we really need another version of DRACULA?
Yes. The story is timeless for a reason.
yes, every generation should get their own versions of Dracula
Nose-faratu.
Must’ve not watched the whole review! Lol
You kinda look like Robert Eggers 🤔
I’ve been told that before! I’ll take it haha
I'm so happy Lily Rose Depp gave a great performance.That TV show she did critics ripped her apart,she wasn't good but the writing was awful.The lead actor she co starred with was terrible,one of the worst acting performance's I've seen in the last 5 yrs.
That's because the weeknd is not an actor he's a singer. And i thought lily did her best with a mediocre script and direction for that show.
The original, considering it's time and place, is very sexual.
“It the clown” you mean Pennywise?
Dad brain
@ that’s ok. I have short term memory loss due to my neurodivergence so it happens to me all the time
The original is ok, sort of meh. But i cant wait to see this count orlok who will look much different than the bald rat-like prototype.
Oh yeah, he looks so different in this one
Dracula is a very sexually charged story to begin with. Look no further than Coppola’s version.
Trueeee
Noseferatu😂
Another review from a company schill.
You think I’m a schill for *checks notes* FOCUS FEATURES?! Did AI write this? Lol
nose feratu😂
First,¡
U don’t need to say that
I've already bought my ticket to see it later this month, which will be in 35mm. I'm so hyped for this!🤍🔥
That sounds incredible!
