Ever since I read Salem’s lot in prison last year I’ve been dying for some vampire shit. Not the romantic, sexy stuff - the dark and terrifying ancient predator shit. Crazy because before that I hated vampire lore, thought it was so corny. I can’t fucking wait for this.
Salem's Lot is my favorite Stephen King novel for a reason. It's the best of slow burns, and it makes it all the more devastating when things take a turn for the undead.
He begged and pleaded in court, day after day
But they cuffed him on a bus and sent him on his way
Guard gave me a knock and then he gave me my ticket
I shuffled off that bus thinking of my door, man I'ma miss it
No, not yet. I read a few reviews from book fans and hear "it's good but deviates heavily from the book" a lot so I'm not too excited to watch it, but wouldn't rule it out either. Is it good?
I think it's brilliant, but yes there are a few big changes from the book, mostly in terms of setting and characters. The spirit of the story is still very much there though.
It's a good vampire story, it keeps the Lestat, Louis, Claudia dynamic from the book intact and has some v. good set piece scenes. I'd for sure recommend it to anyone looking for a vamp fix.
Anne Rice was heavily involved with the series before her death (filming had started before she died) so presumably she was behind a lot of the changes. The reason Bryan Fuller left early in the show's production was supposedly because he and Rice couldn't gel their visions for the show together.
From someone who’s obsessed over the series since I was a teen, yes there are deviations, but it’s really one of the best adaptations of any other books to movies/shows I’ve seen, and I wholeheartedly love it. There are deviations while still keeping in the original spirit, and the characters **personalities** and names are still very much there, with a little extra sprinkled in that I think just rounds out the characters more. It’s worth going into with an open mind. Also worth reading the rest of the series!
Just finished reading Salems lot like 3 days ago, could not agree with you more. Vampires have long been my favorite horror monsters and I’m over joyed that we’re moving away from the Twilight era of vampire
There is a good Salems Lot made for tv movie. Came out in the 80s, but it was well done. The vampire is creepy as shit. The way a proper vampire should be!
When I was in high school a girl I used to hang out with had a step dad who had a dvd of nosferatu to he soundtrack of type o negative.
It was amazing!
Lol! I liked that version as well. I know it gets shit on these days, with Keanu and Winona's almost comical performances. I actually find them more charming now! Overall I love the feel of the movie and still think it holds up.
Also, I don't think I'm alone being jealous of Jonathan Harker having his blood slowly drained by such fetchingly beautiful vampires! Monica Bellucci in particular! :P
Me: Hey, honey, the Nosferatu remake is being released this coming Christmas. Go ahead and put that on your calendar.
My Partner: Well, we'll see what we're doing when we get closer.
Me: No. I just told you what we're doing. Any other plans should be scheduled around that.
Partner: ...
Me: Look. It's on my calendar. We are committed.
It’s my mom’s birthday, but I’m hoping I can catch a midnight screening. She unfortunately hates horror so I can’t pass off seeing this movie as a gift.
That is a weird ass fucking comment lol. Maybe because Beau Is Afraid was a box office flop? Idk. Ari Aster fanboys are a weird bunch. That mediocre ass movie is one he was developing before A24 was even incorporated and he’s making another movie right now with Joaquin, Emma Stone and Pedro Pescal. He’s got more free reign than any other horror director in the game right now
Closest thing I can remember is a shadow of the Islamic crescent passing over a map in the prologue, depicting the Crusades. But it's definitely an effect that would feel right at home in Coppola's movie.
That's a very cool trailer.
Funny that Nicholas Hoult is in there, playing yet another character from the original story.
Maybe next time he will be cast as Dracula / Orlock.
Yeah I had to look up whether he was playing this story's version of Renfield, but it's actually Harker. Still kind of a weird coincidence, especially when you throw in Willem Dafoe.
Not the person to whom you replied, but if you're looking for recommendations: The Fall of the House of Usher (1928), The Man Who Laughs (1928), Vampyr (1932), Black Sunday (1960), The Innocents (1961), The Blancheville Monster (1963), The Whip and the Body (1963), The Black Torment (1964), The Masque of the Red Death (1964), Nightmare Castle (1965), Leonor (1975), The Savage Hunt of King Stakh (1980).
For "contemporary" gothic (as in, set in the same time period in which the movies were made): I Walked With a Zombie (1943), The Uninvited (1944), The Secret Beyond the Door (1947), Repulsion (1965).
Looks good, looks a bit less esoteric and more commercial than something like the Lighthouse. I am a big fan of Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre, which I think is beautiful and still holds up, so I am interested to see how this compares.
Saw that for the first time last Halloween season with a live orchestra and its rapidly become one of my top 5 horror of all time, watched it at home a few times since. I love Herzogs version too but Max Schreck just creeps me the hell out in the most beautiful way.
That’s what I’d hope for. I love the slow burn horror of The Witch. The trailer is making it seem more high budget epic and conventionally shot. Maybe it’s just the trailer.
Nosferatu (1922) is my favorite movie of all time, it's the film that made me fall in love with cinema and the genre.
The fact that a director of the caliber of Robert Eggers is remaking it (probably the best new voice in the genre), for me is incredible, I couldn't ask for a better auteur.
This is my cinematic event of the year, can't wait.
I mean, it *is* Dracula. Same story, same characters, they just changed the names and setting when they made the original in 1922 since they didn't have the rights, and they got sued over it.
What's interesting as well is that it seems to be drawing from a LOT of past Dracula and Nosferatu adaptations. "Come to me" is used, for obvious horny reasons, a LOT in Dracula '92. As is a lady... erm... encountering the beast on a stone bench in a fancy garden. The plague stuff seems to be very much inspired by Herzog's Nosferatu. The shadow of the hand over the city is just a lovely expressionist '22 touch.
And then the beast himself looks like he *might* lean more towards the description of Dracula in the novel? Hard to say for sure obviously but he certainly has the white hair.
A smorgasbord of vampiric delights!
The stuff with the plague was also in the '22 version. And yeah, Skarsgard's Orlock seems to look more accurate to the book description of Dracula. Skarsgard's version seems to have long, loose hair. I don't remember how Dracula's hair was described in the novel, but some people who attended a test screening said that this Orlock has a very unique look compared to previous versions.
Yeah, it holds up incredibly well for something that was made 102 years ago. There's some moments in it that still creep me out. Max Schreck (the actor who played Orlock) was one scary motherfucker.
Eggers wanted a specific look color-wise for this film, actually. There were some images released some months back showing different shots with nice saturated oranges and blues. You can probably find the post on this subreddit or even do a Google and see if there's an article about it. Maybe they'll pull a Godzilla Minus One and release a black and white version too if this does well. I do think black and white would also be a good vibe, but I'm in love with the color pallet.
I'm so very excited for this film though, it looks absolutely phenomenal.
I've watched two separate cuts of Nosferatu -- one with a sepia-tone filter applied over the whole thing, one with the more historically accurate color grading/tinting (orange, blue, or pink); orange for daytime, blue for nighttime, I don't remember if they used pink in this one or if that was Caligari. Color tinting, afaik, was a pretty common short-hand/method in black and white movies of this era. I do wish Eggers had stuck with that kind of color tinting, but I'm also a sucker for silent films, so.
It is funny how we think things like that... like how authors have to avoid a name like 'Tiffany' when setting in the 1600's because it sounds so modern... even though Tiffany is a name FROM the 1600s.
>He is coming. NOSFERATU.
>
>A Robert Eggers picture. Only in theaters this Christmas.
>Robert Eggers’ NOSFERATU is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.
Wasn't convinced by Lily-Rose Depp but HOLY SHIT. She is incredible.
Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) is one of my favourite movies ever (nice to see other users mention it) and Coppola's Dracula is another film I absolutely love.
Robert Eggers is one of my favourite directors. This gives a lot of Werner Herzog's Nosferatu vibes (those interiors) and also lots of Romantic vibes (those exteriors), which are also present in Herzog's version.
My most anticipated movie of the year.
Haven’t been this torqued in a long time. I don’t want to get my expectations too high but I seriously can’t imagine a scenario where this movie isn’t incredible
I really think this is going to be awesome, Loved the original, never saw Herzog's version but plan to before watching this, I think Eggers is exactly the right kind of director for this type of movie.
I saw a few indications that this is digging a bit into the Dracula book for some stuff and not just doing FW Murnau's Nosferatu for a new generation. The role of Van Helsing sounds more like the book, and I think I caught a scene of (presumably Van Helsing) killing one of the vampire wives? Nosferatu and Dracula have almost become distinct stories with a lot of connective tissue to me and this seems like Eggers is doing a blend of both?
EDIT: not that anyone cares but I want to add that Bram Stoker's book, the Nosferatu films, and the FF Coppola film are all kind of 3 distinct Dracula paths to me with a lot of connective tissue.
Inject this vampiric gothic shit straight into my veins
![gif](giphy|xTiN0CNHgoRf1Ha7CM|downsized)
Seriously I can’t get enough
Ever since I read Salem’s lot in prison last year I’ve been dying for some vampire shit. Not the romantic, sexy stuff - the dark and terrifying ancient predator shit. Crazy because before that I hated vampire lore, thought it was so corny. I can’t fucking wait for this.
Have you watched Midnight Mass?
I fucking INHALED that show.
Probably my favorite miniseries of all time
Aww, I wanted to be the one to introduce you to it. I'm scheduled for another rewatch.
Salem's Lot is my favorite Stephen King novel for a reason. It's the best of slow burns, and it makes it all the more devastating when things take a turn for the undead.
Since you advertised it..what did you go in for?
Got in a really bad street fight. Covid was a dark time for me.
He got in one little fight and the cops got scared, they said "you're gonna cool down in prison, open air"
He begged and pleaded in court, day after day But they cuffed him on a bus and sent him on his way Guard gave me a knock and then he gave me my ticket I shuffled off that bus thinking of my door, man I'ma miss it
Hope you got it together now.
Better than I could’ve imagined.
Great to hear.
Thank you.
Funnily enough I read Dracula and Interview With The Vampire in prison last year
Have you checked out the IWTV show??
No, not yet. I read a few reviews from book fans and hear "it's good but deviates heavily from the book" a lot so I'm not too excited to watch it, but wouldn't rule it out either. Is it good?
I think it's brilliant, but yes there are a few big changes from the book, mostly in terms of setting and characters. The spirit of the story is still very much there though.

It's so much better than any other adaptation of the book. Check that shit out.
From someone who’s obsessed over the series since I was a teen, yes there are deviations, but it’s really one of the best adaptations of any other books to movies/shows I’ve seen, and I wholeheartedly love it.

There is a good Salems Lot made for tv movie. Came out in the 80s, but it was well done. The vampire is creepy as shit. The way a proper vampire should be!
Check out Mike Flanagan's Midnight Mass. It definitely gave me Salems Lot vibes.
Yes this show took a minute but so worth it for the ending
Yeah, that's the best thing by Netflix.
"open the window, Mark" Shit had me scared when I was a child.
Yup!!! That damn scratching.... I saw it as a kid too. hahahhaaaa.
Yes, that mini Series is so good!
Check out 'The Covenant with the Vampire', it's like anne rice on steroids the atmosphere just drips out of the pages.
![gif](giphy|1hZ8etNHWAQ9y) *Type O Negative intensifies*
She’s got date at midnight with Nosferatu
When I was in high school a girl I used to hang out with had a step dad who had a dvd of nosferatu to he soundtrack of type o negative. It was amazing!
Nothing slaps harder than gothic horror done right
Ohhh it's 1992 Dracula all over again for me, too excited for Nosferatu.
Lol! I liked that version as well. I know it gets shit on these days, with Keanu and Winona's almost comical performances. I actually find them more charming now! Overall I love the feel of the movie and still think it holds up. Also, I don't think I'm alone being jealous of Jonathan Harker having his blood slowly drained by such fetchingly beautiful vampires! Monica Bellucci in particular! :P
Gary Oldman = Best Dracula ever
I prefer a snarling Christopher Lee myself but Gary Oldman was amazing
This is by far my most anticipated movie of 2024.
CAN YOU STAKE ME BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN
Watched the trailer, said the same thing out-loud ("minus vampiric gothic shit" part) then immediately opened this up to be the top comment haha.
Finally, I can celebrate Christmas the right way
Me: Hey, honey, the Nosferatu remake is being released this coming Christmas. Go ahead and put that on your calendar. My Partner: Well, we'll see what we're doing when we get closer. Me: No. I just told you what we're doing. Any other plans should be scheduled around that. Partner: ... Me: Look. It's on my calendar. We are committed.
Relationship goals
Gotta get ahead when you can!
It’s my mom’s birthday, but I’m hoping I can catch a midnight screening. She unfortunately hates horror so I can’t pass off seeing this movie as a gift.
Depending on where you’re at AMC near me plays all their new releases a day before
Exactly. I've been able to avoid all in-law celebrations for years, and now I'll be able to enjoy it even more!
Why Christmas? I want to add it to my Halloween watchlist!
Cannot fucking wait. That shot of the hand literally looming large over the town was amazing.
Eggers is back
Almost like he never left.
I saw someone post #freeariaster in a letterboxd comment the other day and was so confused.
That is a weird ass fucking comment lol. Maybe because Beau Is Afraid was a box office flop? Idk. Ari Aster fanboys are a weird bunch. That mediocre ass movie is one he was developing before A24 was even incorporated and he’s making another movie right now with Joaquin, Emma Stone and Pedro Pescal. He’s got more free reign than any other horror director in the game right now
why didn’t you like Beau is Afraid? I loved every second of it
I’m just fascinated that one could call it mediocre. Definition of a love it or hate it film, imo
Am I completely imagining that this was done in Coppola's Dracula? Agreed that this looks amazing though. Most anticipated movie of the year for me.
In Coppola's movie, Dracula's eyes were in the sky on 2 seaprate occasions, and his shadow did a lot of weird stuff but not on that scale.
Closest thing I can remember is a shadow of the Islamic crescent passing over a map in the prologue, depicting the Crusades. But it's definitely an effect that would feel right at home in Coppola's movie.
There were a few shots of the shadow of Dracula's hand looming over something - like a table, knocking over a ink jar.
You're not crazy. I swear I've seen this exact shot in a vampire movie before.
I was getting the Night on Bald Mountain segment from Fantasia.
That's a very cool trailer. Funny that Nicholas Hoult is in there, playing yet another character from the original story. Maybe next time he will be cast as Dracula / Orlock.
Not for nothing, but Willem Dafoe was nominated for an Oscar for playing Max Schreck.
Love "Shadow of the Vampire."
True, And he was also a former vampire in Daybreakers.
I only remember 1 thing from in that movie... *the % of blood in a Starbucks Blood Coffee was lowered and a vampire male-Karen threw a hissy fit.*
SIR Willem Dafoe
Yeah I had to look up whether he was playing this story's version of Renfield, but it's actually Harker. Still kind of a weird coincidence, especially when you throw in Willem Dafoe.
IIRC in the OG *Nosferatu* there was no Renfield. The story is much simpler than *Dracula* (probably because of its limited run time).
And Lily Depp's dad Jonathan is in a band called 'The Hollywood Vampires'.
![gif](giphy|12saseBMcUIaUE)
Haha love SpongeBob. Nosferatu!!
“There’s a hot blonde in my bed- am I dreaming?”
UUUUUGGGHHHH IT LOOKS SO FUCKING COOL ![gif](giphy|tyttpGSdJWowdv47eCI)
Lmao what’s happening in this gif?
He coming too
I believe, quote, 'she still suckin'
Getting flashbacks of being shot
Who hasn’t been there
Shooting dicks off of Reddit is to be trusted..
Gothic horror is my favourite subgenre, I absolutely adore it, so I genuinely *cannot* wait for this. I'm not watching the trailer tho! 😅
What are you favorite gothic horror films pre-1990?
Not the person to whom you replied, but if you're looking for recommendations: The Fall of the House of Usher (1928), The Man Who Laughs (1928), Vampyr (1932), Black Sunday (1960), The Innocents (1961), The Blancheville Monster (1963), The Whip and the Body (1963), The Black Torment (1964), The Masque of the Red Death (1964), Nightmare Castle (1965), Leonor (1975), The Savage Hunt of King Stakh (1980). For "contemporary" gothic (as in, set in the same time period in which the movies were made): I Walked With a Zombie (1943), The Uninvited (1944), The Secret Beyond the Door (1947), Repulsion (1965).
Thanks for this. Adding *all* of these to my watch list.
God, Repulsion is so good. Love to see it here.
The Changeling (1980) & Gothic (1986)!
RIP Julian Sands!
The Changeling is a fucking incredible film.
Scary, stupid camera setup makes a scary, stupid wheelchair the most terrifying thing i have ever seen.
The 79 version of Nosferatu is one of my favorite horror films. It oozes atmosphere.
Can you suggest good post 2000s gothics
> post 2000s gothics The Lighthouse comes to mind. Same director as this movie and William Dafoe!
The Woman in Black is solid too
Dawn Breaks Behind the Eyes is a great contemporary one, that feels like a lost film from the 70s.
Fucking love the typography on the title.
Elegant and haunting
At least it's not papyrus
That font is often used for vampires. Book cover’s for Dracula and Carmilla feature it, as well as the Vampyr book from Buffy.
This looks incredible.
I love eggers but when he sticks to horror it just hits different. The Northman was great but the best part was When Blade Feeds horror part.
Darkhorse Oscar contender maybe? The Horror genre has been overdue for some Oscar glory imo.
Yup can’t wait
it looks like they took amazing movies and tagged hollywood esthetics on top of it.
He is cumming.
I hope so
Me too
And so am I
Eggers is edging us
Bram Stroker, yeah yea?
I mean, it *is* Bill Skarsgård, corpse makeup or not…
4DX it is then!
I can’t help but feel like moving seats and such are a terrible match for a film like this.
Love that they didn't show Bill. Don't do what they did to IT. Save him for God's sake, give us a surprise in the theaters!
Ooooh it’s bill skarsgard???
Looks good, looks a bit less esoteric and more commercial than something like the Lighthouse. I am a big fan of Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre, which I think is beautiful and still holds up, so I am interested to see how this compares.
Even the 1922 Nosferatu still holds up tbh.
Saw that for the first time last Halloween season with a live orchestra and its rapidly become one of my top 5 horror of all time, watched it at home a few times since. I love Herzogs version too but Max Schreck just creeps me the hell out in the most beautiful way.
Nosferatu the Vampyre doesn't get nearly enough love.
Yeah it’s more commercial/hollywood and less arthouse than I thought. But sometimes trailers can be misleading.
My guess: It's probably still gonna be the same pace as the Witch, i.e. nothing mainstream audiences will touch.
That’s what I’d hope for. I love the slow burn horror of The Witch. The trailer is making it seem more high budget epic and conventionally shot. Maybe it’s just the trailer.
It's probably just the trailer, let's be real. It's not released by A24 this time.
Nosferatu (1922) is my favorite movie of all time, it's the film that made me fall in love with cinema and the genre. The fact that a director of the caliber of Robert Eggers is remaking it (probably the best new voice in the genre), for me is incredible, I couldn't ask for a better auteur. This is my cinematic event of the year, can't wait.
It's got a big Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) vibe. I LOVE IT!!!
I mean, it *is* Dracula. Same story, same characters, they just changed the names and setting when they made the original in 1922 since they didn't have the rights, and they got sued over it.
What's interesting as well is that it seems to be drawing from a LOT of past Dracula and Nosferatu adaptations. "Come to me" is used, for obvious horny reasons, a LOT in Dracula '92. As is a lady... erm... encountering the beast on a stone bench in a fancy garden. The plague stuff seems to be very much inspired by Herzog's Nosferatu. The shadow of the hand over the city is just a lovely expressionist '22 touch. And then the beast himself looks like he *might* lean more towards the description of Dracula in the novel? Hard to say for sure obviously but he certainly has the white hair. A smorgasbord of vampiric delights!

I don't remember how Dracula's hair was described in the novel, but some people who attended a test screening said that this Orlock has a very unique look compared to previous versions.
So it was, you're absolutely right. Been a \*long\* time since I watched it. Which is my loss, that film rules.
Yeah, it holds up incredibly well for something that was made 102 years ago. There's some moments in it that still creep me out. Max Schreck (the actor who played Orlock) was one scary motherfucker.
As was Klaus Kinski, but somehow more so in real life...
Kinski was a true fucking monster both on and off the screen. Absolutely abhorrent human being. Bill Skarsgard seems like a cool dude, at least.
Agreed on all counts.
Looks like part of this is set/filmed in Lubeck Germany, as was the original. That’s very cool.
Yes but I think it was mostly filmed in Prague is my memory is correct. Either way looks interesting
I keep forgetting how absolutely RIPPED Willem Defoe is.
I keep remembering how he’s packing serious heat too.
Bros got a built in stake.
That's the *teaser* trailer?! It looks visually great though.
Hell yes! Also, was anyone else also expecting this to be in black and white?
Eggers wanted a specific look color-wise for this film, actually. There were some images released some months back showing different shots with nice saturated oranges and blues. You can probably find the post on this subreddit or even do a Google and see if there's an article about it. Maybe they'll pull a Godzilla Minus One and release a black and white version too if this does well. I do think black and white would also be a good vibe, but I'm in love with the color pallet. I'm so very excited for this film though, it looks absolutely phenomenal.
I've watched two separate cuts of Nosferatu -- one with a sepia-tone filter applied over the whole thing, one with the more historically accurate color grading/tinting (orange, blue, or pink); orange for daytime, blue for nighttime, I don't remember if they used pink in this one or if that was Caligari. Color tinting, afaik, was a pretty common short-hand/method in black and white movies of this era. I do wish Eggers had stuck with that kind of color tinting, but I'm also a sucker for silent films, so.
Not after that “first look” image of Wilem Dafoe looking insane came out (in color) months ago.
I get the impression that the film will lose more and more of its saturation as the Count's power over the town will increase.
I fucking love it. I may be more excited for this than alien Romulus
It's a **Yes**feratu from me, amirite lads
Looks as atmospheric as The Witch which is always amazing
My wife and I had the trailer play when we were at the movies last weekend and we are both pumped for a spooky Christmas movie day.
Okay Lily Rose Depp! The cast is great, director with flawless record, cinematography is great, and I have to wait for half a year.
i was initially worried that Lily looked too "modern" for the movie but yeah i'm sold was silly to doubt Eggers' vision in the first place
It is funny how we think things like that... like how authors have to avoid a name like 'Tiffany' when setting in the 1600's because it sounds so modern... even though Tiffany is a name FROM the 1600s.
I like Lily Rose Depp and I’m hoping this movie makes up for the disaster that was The Idol
The Idol was not her fault.
I know that but it was still terrible
This and Longlegs will be the best horror since Hereditary.
Holy shit, this looks even better than I had expected it to be!
Consider me teased
Teaser me timbers
Glad we didn’t see the face yet!
can we just get Willem Dafoe to play all parts?
Still bummed Anya Taylor Joy had to drop out of it but still super excited!!
![gif](giphy|l41m5nQVvTslsRQGc)
Not the casual bird biting!!
That shot of His hand looming over the town is spine chilling
A new Christmas classic!
LETS GO
Let’s fucking go!! I love Eggers! Nicholas Hoult talked a little bit about this on Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast and said he had a blast filming it.
Looks like someone is actually trying to make vampires monsters again. Could not be more excited. This trailer is fucking drenched in atmosphere
So fucking moody. I love it.
This is the best xmas gift of my entire life
I wanted to upvote this but it’s currently sitting at “666” upvotes and I can’t be the one that messes that up.
Can't wait to take the kids on Christmas day
In the midst of my “remakes are cooked” Robert Eggers brought forth an invincible “we are so back”
I don't even consider movies like this remakes. They're just different versions of the Dracula story.
>He is coming. NOSFERATU. > >A Robert Eggers picture. Only in theaters this Christmas. >Robert Eggers’ NOSFERATU is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.
Looks amazing pls let it be good.
I am so excited, Robert eggers has done wonders with his movies and I can’t wait for how Nosferatu looks and acts
Wasn't convinced by Lily-Rose Depp but HOLY SHIT. She is incredible. Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) is one of my favourite movies ever (nice to see other users mention it) and Coppola's Dracula is another film I absolutely love. Robert Eggers is one of my favourite directors. This gives a lot of Werner Herzog's Nosferatu vibes (those interiors) and also lots of Romantic vibes (those exteriors), which are also present in Herzog's version. My most anticipated movie of the year.
Cannot wait for this! It looks incredible
Movie of the year, no contest.
*succumb to the darkness....* Merry Christmas!!
This looks sick af. Looking forward for this.
Haven’t been this torqued in a long time. I don’t want to get my expectations too high but I seriously can’t imagine a scenario where this movie isn’t incredible
I really think this is going to be awesome, Loved the original, never saw Herzog's version but plan to before watching this, I think Eggers is exactly the right kind of director for this type of movie.
Herzog's version is awesome. If you know Isabelle Adjani from Possession, she's in it giving a very different kind of performance.
I am so excited for this. Gothic horror is 100% my kind of thing
I gotta wait until Christmas? Maaaan.
I saw a few indications that this is digging a bit into the Dracula book for some stuff and not just doing FW Murnau's Nosferatu for a new generation. The role of Van Helsing sounds more like the book, and I think I caught a scene of (presumably Van Helsing) killing one of the vampire wives? Nosferatu and Dracula have almost become distinct stories with a lot of connective tissue to me and this seems like Eggers is doing a blend of both? EDIT: not that anyone cares but I want to add that Bram Stoker's book, the Nosferatu films, and the FF Coppola film are all kind of 3 distinct Dracula paths to me with a lot of connective tissue.
Willem Dafoe is in this and he's *NOT* Nosferatu?!? That's unpossible!!!
Ok, fine, but does it have a quirky Werner Herzog cameo?
More gothic shit like this, please. I’ve worn out two DVDs of Crimson Peak
I hope Jackie Daytona is in this!
What incredible style
The unmistakable rumble of Ralph Ineson’s voice. It’s an Eggers film.
Looks great, but if they don't call the sequel NOSFERATWO, I'm gonna be pissed.
