Nosferatu (DVD)

For all fans of horror movies, this is the ultimate movie. The horrific story is not diluted or modernized. The viewer will NOT get the following: 1) a sanitized, dandified monster; 2) a sexy, mysterious, seductive Count Dracula clinically penetrating neck veins; 3) cool superpowers, flying away as a bat; or 4) a happy ending. Instead, the viewer WILL receive these things: 1) a vile, despicable monster; 2) a human slug living by sucking the blood of innocents; 4) a putrid attraction offering power but taking it instead; and 5) redemption only through embracing the terror.We’re told by psychologists that the attraction of the macabre is the relief of surviving the unendurable. At the end, our own daily problems and challenges look small in comparison. This movie is the real “Dracula” legend in all its disgusting, vile aspects, hitting on all the tropes: even extending out to very real pestilence and pandemic. In addition, this is an unvarnished look at medieval times when the recent dead were dug up and staked. This was done least they become vile monsters, the undead lurking in the shadows to feed on the living. With excellent acting, incredible sets, and a focused plot it is beautiful in its relentless display of ugliness.One can take away deep lessons from this movie, such as the corruption of ethereal beauty by tasting the pleasures of hell. But those looking for a cheap thrill, a few giggling shocks, a cool monster should avoid it like the plague. I must say, though, it produces a lasting impression. I avoided viewing it for a while because I knew that “Nosferatu” was an encapsulation of the worst of humanity and society: embodied in our worst nightmares. It did not disappoint. Viewed projected on a large wall screen in 4K with full surround sound turned up, it is a fascinating and repulsive immersive experience. View this masterpiece with due caution. Beware selling your soul to the devil. You might not like what you must pay in return!

I love this rendition of Nosferatu! The director was really paying attention to details. It feels like a combination of the novel, Dracula, and the original movie but combined masterfully. Some may not appreciate Count Orlok's (sp) designs but it's exactly how I pictured the novel Dracula to look like. The acting is phenomenal and cinematography is on point. Mind you, it's rated R for good reasons.

Quality of product is 5 stars, movie itself was a 4. Had to add to my horror collection tho. If you’re not a huge horror fan, watch it somewhere before you buy a hard copy tho, I could see why people think it’s boring.

I liked it! This movie was better than I thought it would be. It had me cringing uncomfortably in my seat. The story line was what I expected, but executed and wonderfully acted. Great cast! I really enjoyed this!

This is an exceptionally creepy movie. It is also addictive in the fact that you want to watch it over and over again so you can see things missed in the previous viewing. The atmosphere, the characters and the fact it is set in another place in time adds to the uncomfortable feeling. Count Orlock is pure evil and there's nothing redeeming about him. I absolutely recommend this if you want true horror ... not gore ... but that unsettling feeling that lasts for days.

Best movie of 2024, IMO. The cinematography and sets are incredible, they actually become characters inside the film. This is the best Horror remake I have seen. If the Coppola Dracula tale was the romantic, gothic epic, then this is it's polar opposite. This film is dark and without any hope or reconciliation for it's characters. Such a total work of art by Eggers.The 4k UHD only adds to the daunting atmosphere and the film's score is sinister. I highly recommend this film5 of 5 Stars

Always like the Nosferatu story line. Have all three film versions. The 1922 silent version is very good. This newest version is inspired by that original film version. Holds a persons attention. Was nominated for an makeup Oscar but did not win.

fun movie
