Will you be going to see Nosferatu?
Focus features seems extremely confident about this one. They’ve been hosting screenings on both coasts that garnered very positive feedback from some of the industries most respected critics and cinema snobs. And painful as it is to type this, Lily Rose Depp is apparently very VERY good.
What say Datalounge. Is this all hype? Can a genre movie also be great cinema? Do we have a new horror classic on our hands? Is LRD a STAR?

The original is a thunderous bore, so this remake can’t be much worse.
I liked The Witch very much, but thought The Lighthouse was pretentious and overwrought. I’m hoping Nosferatu is more like the former than the latter.

I admittedly gave pause about Lily Rose-Depp and her oblong egghead being a lead in this, but I am reserving judgment because I have never seen her in anything before. I thought the trailer was quite effective. I trust Robert Eggers and most of the reviews I've read/watched suggest it's his best film to date. I have seen both the 1922 and the 1979 Kinski films and enjoy both of this, so I am interested to see what his take is on the material. The fact that all of the leading men in it (Hoult, Taylor-Johnson, and Skarsgard, even though I'm sure he's made up to look hideous) are hot as fuck is a bonus.
I already bought tickets to go see it on Christmas Eve night with my brother (who is also a big fan of Eggers).

All of them are gorgeous. I had no idea Nicholas Hoult was so tall—taller than Skarsgard? Maybe it's the shoes.

I saw it tonight at my local multiplex. The showing was almost completely sold out. I liked it overall, but I honestly wanted to like it more. It did not have the same effect on me that his previous films had (specifically "The Witch" and "The Lighthouse"). There was something missing here, and I'm not sure what. Visually, it was stunning. The period details were fantastically executed. I thought the performances were really good as well.
That being said, the movie was two hours and twelve minutes long, but it literally felt like three-plus to me, and I'm not entirely sure why. There was a kind of rinse-and-repeat feel in the last half of it that really started to bore me. It felt like the story was running in circles for no real good reason, and things never really reached a proper fever pitch. When you contrast it against the 1979 version, that film is notably shorter, and yet it feels more complete and well-rounded to me.

Bill Skarsgard was 100% unrecognizable in this. You do see his flaccid vampire cock which looked quite big, but I am not sure if it was a prosthetic or not. I know he's shown his dick before, so I'm guessing not. I will say I especially enjoyed the shots of Nicholas Hoult's pert ass as he was running around Orlok's castle in those Victorian trousers.

Hoult looks more chiseled in that photo at R19. Is it the camera angle? All three men are very handsome in their own ways.

Yes, for some people, mostly churchgoers, Christmas Eve can refer to the entire Dec 24. So, for them, it’s not redundant & it might make sense to add “night” if necessary. Most of us just think eve means the night before Christmas.

I saw it tonight and kept comparing it to Coppola's Dracula. Like the poster upthread said there were too many repetitive, talky scenes that didn't drive the plot. Depp's hysterics get old after a while and I started hoping for her to be killed off. Dark, dreary, monochromatic tinted scenes like the silent film. I enjoyed the part with the gypsies. Nosferatu's makeup isn't as iconic as the original German expressionist look. It was fun to see on a spooky, foggy Christmas night, though.

Unfortunately this movie is another example of a 2 1/2 movie that is overstuffed and patience trying
I have to say that the casting is incredibly uninspired
Bill Skarsgard has already played the boogeyman
Hoult has already played Renfield
Willem Dafoe just played the crazy European doctor in Poor Things

What R16 said is basically what a number of the reviews I saw point out. Basically, it's visually stunning, the acting is good, but that the movie feels underwhelming since the long running time is dictated by some invented backstory for Ellen, which is not dissimilar to "Poor Things."

Here's the international trailer. At the 29-second mark, you see Depp's seizures and the lengths she goes to make them "more than" Isabelle Adjani's in the 1979 version.
I'll go see it, but all showings are sold out where I live. Maybe next week or the one after that.

If you want a good look at Holt in underwear, you should watch "True History of the Kelly Gang." There's a 2-minute scene of Holt in tighty-whities with his hand gripping his cock. It's also a decent film.
