NOSFERATU (2024)

★★★★☆ (4.5/5)

Watched Dec 17, 2024

I really liked this movie. Definitely one of my top horror movies of the year. It stayed pretty faithful to the 1922 movie, and I like all of the directions they went with it (except giving Orlok a mustache).

The cinematography was suuuper good and I also LOVED the sound design. The gulping sound that Orlok would make when sucking someone’s blood was so disgusting and so awesome. The colors also looked really nice. It felt black and white without actually being black and white. It was really cold and blue for most of the movie which looked awesome, and it was warm and orange only in select scenes like when Thomas first enters the castle. I do think that some of the scenes dragged on a bit, which made the movie super long (2h12m runtime! gyart!) but it was still a really nice movie nonetheless. Sex scenes were awkward too. Overall really cool movie, I wanna watch it again.
