PLEASE do a longer video! Were on exactly the same page, im so excited. Spoilers: I hope general audiences clocked that what Orlok does to everybody he feeds from is intended to be interpreted as sa. Its not subtle! Its important! Its so well done!!!! The last half where the hutters relationship destabilizes because theyve both been harmed but are in two different stages of healing is so much dude. I wanna go see it again so bad...
I've already watched it twice, and it truly is up there in my favorites of the year(and definitely in my top 15 of all time, really). I think they absolutely killed it, everything feels almost perfect, the only problem I have with it being that it's not longer(not that much longer, maybe only 10-15 more minutes maybe during the castle parts/the plague parts), the music is amazing, and the acting! Like you said, Eggers really does do a good job of snagging actors best expressions of whatever he may be looking for. I'm especially glad I watched the 1922 film as well, it kind of strangely added a nice perspective to certain scenes and portrayals of certain characters. I recently started watching your videos, and to watch one that's a bit of a deeper dive on this movie would be awesome! Happy new year, and may the mustache rule for years to come!
SPOILER - - - - - - Okay, please tell me somebody else noticed that Count Orlok only inhales in order to speak during the exhale? Like, this version of the vampire puts so little effort into pretending to be alive that he only takes air into his lungs when he needs it for the utility of communication.
I saw it Christmas Day and thought why the hell did I do this to myself. Absolutely No knowledge of Dracula the book or the movies never seen the original either. And it’s really really cool hearing about its roots. It actually makes it interesting in hindsight! So thank you for your take!
Nosferatu is the film that I’ve most been looking forward to watching! I’m so glad to hear that it lived up to your expectations/hype, as I trust your opinion! It’s just a shame I’ve got to wait until 1 January to watch it as I’m in the UK!
During and after this movie I had such a sense of dread that I've never seen from another movie. I haven't seen any of Eggers other movies but now I really want to if THIS is the quality I'm gonna be getting
Saw it last week and as so good, had never seen a Robert eggers movie before this and it blew my mind. Not that this year was void of quality (definitely a lot of misses) aside from dune pt. 2 this movie was amazingly shot, acted, and an interesting premise.
Enjoyed your detailed review - I've seen the movie; I'll place it at the very top of vampire movies (I've seen all the great classic interpretations of "Dracula,” including the original 1922 "Nosferatu,” and read Bram Stoker’s 1897 "Dracula") However, the one narrative complication flaw I find is that if this vampire is a living corpse, then what about its evil fetid stench? I work as a nurse and in a hospital, a diseased human body quickly becomes foul-smelling if not kept washed-at least a scene with the vampire attending to his body to make it less malodorous - esp during the final scene with its extreme intimacy-one wouldn't be able to endure it the lovely maiden retching, trying not to vomit-this is not "silly" nitpicking; I hope you can provide your opinion on this narrative oversight by the Director/writer
Though I beefed it on watching the original Nosferatu film I did recently read Dracula in anticipation of this film. I finally saw it yesterday and I completely agree with everything you said in the video. The mannerisms & speech of the characters was perfect to really build the atmosphere needed for a period piece and I felt rewarded the whole watch having known the source material. Willem Dafoe being a weird little guy is my favorite genre of film and I'm excited to see this again
Went to see it last night and it blew me away, I was so excited since it was announced that it was going to be made and I was very hesitant on Lily Rose because I hated the acting in The idol but she was amazing! Can’t wait to watch it again, as a big fan of Eggers he raised the bar once again. Also I was shocked by the mustache but after what you said about Transylvania back in those days it makes total sense! I now like it even more!
If it isn't your favorite film that you mentioned you'd make a video on, I deeply hope that you've seen/will talk about I Saw The TV Glow. That was the most terrifying work of fiction I've seen in my life.
Loved this movie, it only released here yesterday and we went to see it at the Imax, so it is so far the best film of 2025. Loved Skarsgard as Orlok (makes me forgive him for The Crow). It's nice to see a scary vampire for a change.
I know I'm going against to grain here but I finally saw the film yesterday. I've been waiting for this film, so excited because gothic is right up my street. I adore the Dracula book as its one of my faves. Throughout the film I felt there was something missing for me, I didn't grab onto anyone. The sets, the camera work, the costumes all were incredible but when I left the cinema my first thought was......."What was the point?" I couldn't find the main theme. What was the film trying to tell me? If its about a womans agency then (for me) that didn't work. She sacrificed herself because Willem Defoe's character told her to. I would have felt better if there was a power shift within the main character (that was more obvious) but she just accepted that she had to die. I don't know if I'm describing my feelings very well but I'm still glad I saw it in the cinema. Thank you as always for your video. It's a great space to talk about a medium so many people love 😊
I fell asleep and so did my wife. Then a young man stood up when the credits rolled & said "what the f**k was that"? The entire audience laughed. They were laughing at the closing bed scene. Robert Eggers isn't for me. I didn't like The Lighthouse or The Witch. I love Nosfaratu but not this version. The silent film and 70s version was awesome. Just my opinion. Edit: It's beautifully filmed though. Actors were great.

Watching this movie felt like it was grabbing something inside my chest taking it out and making me remember something abt myself.

I would to see a longer analysis of this film

i would absolutely love to see a full analysis of this movie by you!!!!!!!! and i am forever and will always be in mustache gang

Ugh, the tragedy of International Release Dates!
I hope you love it and it's worth the wait for you!
@ I know right! 😅 But this video has just raised my hype levels all over again! I can’t wait to see it now!
I get to watch it the fourth 😫
In Eggers we trust.. and in your review we trust.

Absolutely 🧛♂️
A longer analysis video is essential for a film of this scope. I hope you decide to go for making one!

I dig the look of Orlock in this movie. He looks like a zombie, and frankly it only adds to the horror and the overall tone

Did you check with liz to make sure it actually was the auto-correct? cause, "nose fart" seems like a word that Liz would just randomly say.
