The OG Nosferatu was a childhood nightmare fuel of mine. I remember being freaked out of going up the stairs or in my halls as a kid, just from seeing clips of Orlok. Subsequently, watching Orlok’s death marked the first time I felt genuine catharsis and relief over a character’s death.
in our theater room at the haunted house i worked at for 9 years, we only played that movie so I've seen it a few thousand times, so good for a silent film
@jdogus1994 that's amazing (unless it got too repetitious to always hear/see it at work! I used to work at a cinema and, my god, having the same trailers on repeat sometimes each shift was hard!). I liked to have Nosferatu on in the background at Halloween parties I threw, as well as watch it just generally as a background comfort movie. It has the best music, even if no-one is watching.
remember this villain was in Are You Afraid of the Dark? The Tale of the Midnight Madness just like the og german movie they just ganked a villain from another thing, and that episode gave me gd s-tier nightmares
It's so wild and funny to me that Nicholas Hoult Is playing Thomas Hutter for this when he played as R. M. Renfield in the last joint. Forever under the looming shadow that is Dracula/Orlok. Btw if others haven't mentioned this yet, Nosferatu isn't the creature's name. His name is Count Orlok. And Nosferatu is the name of his species. Really, it's just a Romanian way of saying vampire/vampyr.
Having watched The Northman and The VVitch I can't wait for this movie. Robert Eggers does his research and his films are so detailed. I still need to see The Lighthouse.
I'm still remember the 1922's movie. I only saw it once, 20 years ago. Very effective movie. This is a very great trailer, ominous and mysterious like the vampire.
@Strugglenation Thisi s giving me some Francis Ford Coppola Dracula vibes in the best and worst ways of the film. Like you both said hope they keep the Vampire off screen so you are rewarded by seeing this film. It could be special
The other 2 Nosferatu VERY much still hold up while each doing something very different. I think the 20's one is public domain and even in black and white without sound is primally creepy.
There was also a remake during the 70s that is well worth watching. It's long, but epic in so many ways. So far, Nosferatu is two for two with having great movies. Hopefully this one makes it three! 😉 I think because the story is so timeless, it's one of those that you can reinterpret every few decades, and it doesn't lose any of its power.
Hi - when I was a kid (about 50 years ago) my Dad had a film projector and one of the films he had were highlights of Nosferatu (1922) on Super 8mm - it was scary but good - I did not see the entire film until I was an adult. You all should react to it - it’s a silent film but Max will keep you interested 😀
Only reason I'm sceptical of this movie is bc the last vampire movie, Last voyage of the Demeter, was an ok movie with a mid ending. The trailer looks good, but let's hope the ENTIRE movie is good
Robert Eggers didn't direct that movie. I'm guessing you've never seen one of his movies, or you wouldn't doubt his ability to stick the landing on this. The man hasn't had one single miss yet.
@@Kira1Lawliet no I haven't seen any of his movies, nor was I familiar with his name until I saw the movies he made. I'm still sceptical bc vampire (or monster) movies now aren't what they used to be. So as of right now, it'll be an ok movie until I'm proven wrong
@@cyrustheegreat I suggest checking out The Witch and The Lighthouse then if you're a fan of really strong horror. Dude is a master of his craft. I promise you, he will do this story justice. The Northman is also an amazing work of his, though not in the horror genre as much as historical epic.
I’m a horror movie fan of course I’m gonna see this movie when it comes out on Christmas🔥Bill Skarsgard is one of my favorite actors, he’s definitely gonna make a frightening performance as Nosferatu!!! I’ve saw the 1922 original, it was creepy. Willem Dafoe, Lily Rose Depp, Johnny Depp’s daughter looking forward to see her performance, & Nicholas Hoult great cast💯
Robert Eggers is one of my favorite directors. This film will be woke-free. Bill Istvan Günther Skarsgård at 6 feet 4 inches, will make a great Nosferatu.
In an unrelated topic, this reminds of the last time the movie trailer and marketing hid the titular character’s face until the movie release. And that was “Oz: The Great and Powerful.” And what a terrible reveal they gave poor Mila in that movie. She looked awful. Almost as bad as this new one in “Wicked.”
Seen that mofo one time on a Martin Halloween episode as a kid I think, fucked my whole night up. Couldn't sleep lmao. Then again on SpongeBob... Couldn't sleep lmao. I might have to play some Mortal Kombat after watching this film.
