Nosferatu Review
So I finally saw Nosferatu, and here's my review. This was one of the scariest movies I've watched, and it really brings back vampires to being monsters and sparkling in the sunlight. This film was brilliantly made by Robert Eggers, one of the best directors of this era, because he knows how to make a great film. This film frightened me, and it was suspenseful, and some moments made me jump. I enjoyed this film and was blown away because it felt like a good horror film.
Count Orlok was terrifying. He's like Dracula—well, technically, Dracula. Bill Skarsgard did an incredible job playing him. Seeing him go from Pennywise to Count Orlok is incredible. The way the character is presented and how he hides in the shadows makes it terrifying. One thing I do love about this character is that he is an evil creature; there is no good in him whatsoever.
The cast of the film all did a great job, like Nicholas Hoult as Thomas Hullen, who was fantastic as always. You really feel for this guy, and what he goes through is rough. However, we see how much he loves his wife more than anything.
Lily Rose Depp was fantastic in this film as Ellen Hullen, and she is her father's daughter, being the daughter of Johnny Depp. Her character, when you learn more about her, you're shocked by what you learn about her and what she does. Still, she's a great character in this film.
Willem Dafoe was great. Albin Eberhart, who is basically Van Helsing, is one of the best characters in the film. His lines are brilliant, and he has some funny moments, too.
It's funny because Willem Dafoe played Count Orlok in Shadow of the Vampire from 2000.
The film does a great job with the setting, and the makeup on Count Orlok is brilliant—he looks like a monster. This is one of the best vampire films I've seen, and the ending is bittersweet. I highly recommend this film, and I give it a 9 out of 10. Go watch it.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Werewolf and the Knight.

Fun fact about Nosferatu: The original film was released in 1922. When it was released, Bram Stoker's family sued the film's director because it was like Dracula but with a different name. All copies were destroyed except for a few that survived. Now, this film is a cult classic and is in the public domain. So you can use Count Orlok, just not Robert Egger's version.
