#Nosferatu (2024)

Seen folk online raging that their audience was laughing during the film. I thought there were some pretty intentionally funny bits.
Overall a good Gothic horror and a well made film but found myself thinking the story of Dracula has been bled dry. Whey. I think I also went in expecting Orlock to be this gruesome creature but for most of the film, its just some man in a fur hat. I didn't hate it, but again think they (or I) built it up too much.

See I was saying something similar. Dracula has been wrung dry so this had no choice but to be an exercise in cinematography excellence
As well as an homage to the source materials
I'll be honest, I was expecting a tad more gore. It was fairly tame in the end and I'm okay with that

I was hoping to really like it, but once he got to the castle I just didn't care about anything—like, I was just completely uninvested in anything that happened from then on
I also felt like Nicholas Hoult and Aaron Taylor-Johnson was massively miscast. I quite like Nicholas Hoult, usually, but he just didn't feel appropriate somehow, and watching the other guy kept on reminding me of Keanu Reeves trying to do proper acting. I'm not saying he was that bad, but it just felt wrong seeing that face in that setting.
Genuinely curious which bit were supposed to be funny though, because I clearly missed them all

That's a shame

I saw a comment suggesting when a director's working on some passion project for years and years you can be ready for a film where they've thought so much about stylistic choices they've buried the actual story. I think that's what happened with this
No disrespect to Bram Stoker but his story's so familiar to us now it's hard to feel much about and the old fashioned elements (like the male lead being a pretty vapid character) are very in your face. There's some Eggersy edgier stuff but it felt like doodling in the margins rather than reinventing the story
Also agree that Aaron Taylor Johnson was horrible. Most of the actors seemed to be off doing their own thing. I love Dafoe but his performance wasn't a great fit
Johnson actually had the biggest emotional journey to undergo as a character really and couldn't carry it. The male and female leads spend half the film laid up in bed

Hard to argue with most of that.

Dracula is one of the most rinsed stories/characters in the modern era
