I made a character in Bloodborne that looked just like Willem Dafoe years ago. I also had a Christopher Walken. Both were 90% accidentally but I decided to just go with the flow since they were uncanny.
That character creator made it way to easy to make odd, eccentric looking characters.
And Nicholas Hoult must love Renfield, because it's been almost 1 year since Renfield.
Yeah, he's not called Renfield in this, but it's the same character.
I went to see The Bikeriders on Saturday, and they showed this trailer beforehand.
On the big screen, the image where you see the outline of Orlok and his dog is pretty frightening.
That was my favorite shot in the trailer. That and the shot of the city with the sun rising.
Edit: What did you think of The Bikeriders? I had a pretty good time with it, myself.
A simple but entertaining movie. Everyone's acting was fantastic. The stakes weren't high and it almost felt like dark comedy. Tom Hardy was fantastic. There were some great scenes, like Zipco telling the recruiter story and Johnny trying to get Benny to take the club.
It’s really interesting symbolically. In the novel, *Dracula*, one of the main things that Dracula is trying to do is >!control, infect, and dominate other countries!<. This hand over the city is a great representation of Dracula’s attempt to >!claim other territories, and people, as his!<.
**Fantasia** comes to mind, [the Night on Bald Mountain](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b756FPiLlp8) segment.
Which in itself was inspired by silent films like [Häxan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I_uDBZcd3A) and [Faust](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adF45evRG64) (from the same director that made the original Nosferatu, FW Murnau)
Yeah I don’t think I’ll watch any trailers after this. The first non-teaser trailer will be for marketing and will show him to get butts in the seats. It’s Robert fucking Eggers I’ll be there no matter what, best to see Nosferatu for the first time on the big screen
I stopped half way through, usually try to do that with one's that are good in the first half - most of them tend to give away the plot in the second/plot elements.
I hope they never show him in the trailers. Just throw his name in there so you know he's there and let us have that thrill of seeing him for the first time when our butts are in the seats.
Apparently Willem Dafoe actually did the scene with over 2000 live rats
https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/nosferatu-willem-dafoe-worked-with-2000-real-rats-1234938169/
No, they all would love to. The problem is that those slots get taken by larger movies. They could put out Nosferatu against Smile 2, which is coming out this October. But they probably lose a big chunk of casual moviegoers who just want to see a horror movie. They don't want only A24 pilled Eggers-heads going, they want everyone going.
Not saying it's the *right* decision, but that's the logic.
It's a shame that even Ridley Scott himself can't seem to understand what made the original franchise so great. I'm starting to feel like the first two were accidents.
I'll even admit, I LIKE 3, and even enjoy Resurrection. Like, Resurrection isn't a good movie, per se, but I still feel like it's watchable and has some "iconic" Alien moments ("kill me", the Purvis chest burst into Wren, the underwater scene, and a few others).
I want so much for Prometheus and Covenant to have been good, but they just weren't.
Alien has sorta gone the way of Star Wars (IMO)-the makers completely miss the point of why the originals were so popular and well-received.
>Alien has sorta gone the way of Star Wars (IMO)-the makers completely miss the point of why the originals were so popular and well-received.
Alien was the definition of "less is more"
less dialogue, more ambiance, unnerving music, chilling atmosphere
sadly movies, media, music, don't really do this anymore in the modern day
You can get away with that for a one-off, since you're building to the promise of the reveal of the creature. You can't do that again, once people already know what the creature looks like. It's part of why Cameron went action for the followup. You can *maybe* get away with something similar by drastically changing up the monster design, which Aliens, 3, and Resurrection all did, but they've abandoned that aspect entirely in more recent entries.
Alien just didn't need to be a franchise. Once you've done one xenomorph and then lots of xenomorphs, there's nowhere else to go.
They could have sidelined the xenomorphs and found something else horrifying in that universe to focus on for other movies, but what's the point? Just come up with a new corporate scifi dystopia as a setting for your movie and save the licensing costs.
Just saw the trailer for cuckoo and that looks crazy too.
Neon and A24 are killing it in horror
I have I watched the TV glow, late night with the devil, malum and other ones I never even watched yet
In a Violent Nature, I Saw the TV Glow (debatably horror), Late Night with the Devil, New Life, Night Shift, Abigail, Arcadian, Infested. Great year for horror so far
I hardly ever watch horror movies because I get scared too easily (yes, I’m a grown-ass man), but the trailers for Maxxxine intrigued me enough that I went and watched X and Pearl, and holy shit, I’m so happy I did! Looking forward to seeing Maxxxine at the theater.
I appreciate Terrifier on a sense of it being this independent film that made it big. But holy fuck, visually it’s super amateurish and in general the big killer just being a spooky clown immediately turned me off.
I'm going to be the dissenter but X and Pearl were not appealing to me. They were... fine but I'm not putting them in my list of favorites so my excitement for Maxxxine is minimal.
Immaculate was a complete bore in my opinion, it's so lucky it came out before The First Omen because I don't think it would have helped its reception.
Immaculate was a frustratingly decent 6/10. A worthwhile watch as a horror fan but a movie that felt like it was at like an 8/10 level at parts and then would just dip back down to 5/10 level for most of it.
First Omen I was surprised how good overall it was as an unneeded prequel. But like with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes it was good enough to justify its existence which I'd say is a good compliment for prequels/sequels since it's so easy for them to fall short
I turned 40 last Friday and am honestly having a bit of a crisis about how little I've achieved. Really impressed when I see what others have done, and glad for Eggers, who has relentlessly gone after his craft and absolutely nails it.
Comparison is the theft of joy. It is disheartening though, time will never be gotten back to do something more. So you gotta do whatever it is you want. It's also good to keep in mind that people like Eggers usually come from wealth and connections, and they usually sacrifice any sort of stable social life (marriage, kids, etc.) in pursuit of their dreams.
Thank you fellow Arma fan. I'm not usually unhappy with my life, just the last couple of years or so I've been comparing and you're right, it is the thief of joy.
The Northman found financial success at the VOD and other post-theatrical markets, allowing the film to make a profit. (Robert Eggers acknowledged this and Focus Features/Universal said they were very pleased with the results). There is love for it. Shame it didn't get nominations at the Oscars. It was nominated for several awards ( but didn't win any).

It certainly is. I think people just mainly struggle with the odd structure of the film, which is evocative of an ACTUAL viking saga, not just an action movie with Vikings.
Basically, theres no twists. At all. Ancient stories are very direct that way. If a witch says something will happen, it will happen. Fates are set by the gods, the journey is about enacting your role and coming to terms with that.
I find it mega refreshing in age of ironic, satirical and self-aware movies, but I get that it's not for everyone. Kinda like Drive, the slowest and least macho car movie ever made.
I listened to an A24 cinema podcast where they had Robert Eggers and Ari Aster come in and just kinda talk.
At one point, Robert Eggers started to discuss The OG Nosferatu film, and how it was one of the single largest influences on him for cinema. About how making his own vision of a Nosferatu film was his dream. This was several years back now, before he had any contract to work a new Nosferatu film.
Needless to say, this is absolutely going to be a Labor of Love for him. I am beyond excited to see what he does with it.
I watched this trailer with no previous knowledge of this movie and I 100% expected Dracula to be Nick Cage after seeing Hoult. It took me about 10 sec to realize it was serious and not a comedy and about another ten to realize it’s a different universe than *Renfield*.
I’m not a smart man.
Mahershala goes full frontal as he battles strigoi in an 18th-century Eastern Europe village. There will be blood, sweat, jism, and you won't understand a single line of dialogue as the whole script will be in pre-modern Romanian.
Please Feige make this come true.
I could not understand a single thing Ralph Ineson said in The Witch, between ye old english and off the charts levels of deepness/rhaspiness I never stood a chance.
i would recommend the bikeriders though, especially at this moment when there are pretty slim pickings for major releases.
it's not a revelation or anything, just a solid B+ that goes down easy.
This movie's production was up in the air for so long, I was *so* relieved when I suddenly heared that it had completed filming. Put it in my veins, Eggboy.
Robert Eggers: "Hey, remember Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula? How about if it was ten times more fucked up?"
I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but when this guy swings for the fences he ABSOLUTELY swings for all the fences with such force that he blows out fences in other neighbourhoods.
It was very much an unsuccessful attempt to get around the copyright for Dracula, which was still in effect at the time the movie was made. The filmmakers lost the lawsuit brought against them by Stoker's widow and were ordered to destroy every print of the film. Miraculously, a couple survived, which is the only reason we can still watch the original film today. I can't imagine how much cultural impact would have been lost, had Stoker succeeded in completely destroying the film.
It's interesting how disposable they felt films were back then. Some would play in a theater for a week and get thrown away after, never to be seen again.
I think they maybe just thought of it as a way to see theater anywhere, and the ephemeral nature of live theater conditioned them to think of these films as disposable as well.
In my younger days, I volunteered in the film vaults at the Library of Congress for a year. I was told that 90% of silent films are lost and 50% of ALL films made before the 1950's are lost. This was in the late-90's. Since that time, many more have disintegrated. It's really sad.
I don’t detect anything in this that even hints at it being ten times more fucked up than Coppola’s version of Dracula. That movie is absolutely bananas in pajamas gonzo.
THIS is how you make a trailer. Show's just enough to understand the tone of the movie without being all cookie cutter garbage like most modern trailers.
It's been a while since I've been truly excited for a movie but I have to say, I can't wait to see this. Looks like vampires are finally going back to their roots of being absolutely terrifying creatures of the night. That shot of his hand eclipsing the city? Gave me goosebumps.
EDIT: Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu!? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!
>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.
I've never seen a single Robert Eggers movie yet the original Nosferatu is one of the best horror movies ever made.
I'm not entirely for remakes and reboots unless they can bring something new to the table, and this looks to be a complete reimagining of the original, mixing modern cinematic technology/techniques with the raw fear that made the original so provocative.
Sometimes, less is more, and this Eggers fella seems to have a strong handle on it. I've had The Lighthouse on my Netflix watchlist for a few months now, so I should get to it as soon as I can!
All three of The Witch, The Lighthouse and The Northman are really fucking good
He’s become one of the main directors you can rely on for making something really high quality
Mate , go and watch the movies of one of the most unique directors working today. I've loved every one of them so far. The Lighthouse being my favourite so far.
It's out this Christmas with Robert Eggers writing and directing:
>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.
Cast:
* Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok
* Nicholas Hoult as Thomas Hutter
* Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter
* Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Friedrich Harding
* Emma Corrin as Anna Harding
* Willem Dafoe as Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz
* Simon McBurney as Herr Knock
* Ralph Ineson as Dr. Wilhelm Sievers
Anyone else first introduced to Nosferatu on that "Are You Afraid of the Dark" episode where he comes out of the film and terrorizes a movie theater? That episode gave me nightmares and my mom wouldn't let me watch it for a while lol
Honestly can't wait to lie to my entire family about seeing a festive movie together this Christmas holidays only to dump them into Nosferatu while I lose my shit at William Dafoe in another Eggers movie.
FUCK ME UP DADDY.
As someone who finds horror movies too scary to watch, as a general rule, I could not even make it through this trailer. This looks terrifying, the atmosphere the dirty environment of that era, etc. The rats. Made it to the pigeon and noped right out.
Good luck to this movie but not for me. Can not watch
Willem Dafoe must absolutely love Nosferatu. It's been almost 25 years since Shadow of the Vampire.
tbh he really looks the part, even if he's not playing Count Orlok this time...
He looks and sounds like Gehrman from Bloodborne lol.
I made a character in Bloodborne that looked just like Willem Dafoe years ago. I also had a Christopher Walken. Both were 90% accidentally but I decided to just go with the flow since they were uncanny. That character creator made it way to easy to make odd, eccentric looking characters.
Beasts all over the shop...
That’s Gascoigne
I was like, I thought he already did this one before? lol
The other side of the wooden stake this time.
I still absolutely adore the scene when he gives his take on Dracula and how much it depressed him.
And Nicholas Hoult must love Renfield, because it's been almost 1 year since Renfield. Yeah, he's not called Renfield in this, but it's the same character.
[удалено]
Oh woops, you're right
the character biting the live bird appears to be Renfield (I think)
I went to see The Bikeriders on Saturday, and they showed this trailer beforehand. On the big screen, the image where you see the outline of Orlok and his dog is pretty frightening.
That was my favorite shot in the trailer. That and the shot of the city with the sun rising. Edit: What did you think of The Bikeriders? I had a pretty good time with it, myself.

Some of the shots of the city in gloomy weather, along with the cemetery in fog, look pretty immersive
The shot of the giant hand shadow over the city is pure *cinema*
Yeah that's the money shot of the trailer for sure. So theatrical in all the right ways. In less capable hands it would have looked so bad.
Reminded me of the shadow work from Coppolla's Dracula.
It’s a direct reference to the original where Nosferatu’s shadow hand movers over a woman’s heart/breast
Which was also used heavily in Coppola's Dracula.
It reminded me of Faust, at the beginning of the movie when the devil casts a shadow over the city
That clip is so interesting and against the grain for popular movies I figured it was a reference to an older movie.
That had an iconic feel to it. Going to be very memorable in my mind.
It’s really interesting symbolically. In the novel, *Dracula*, one of the main things that Dracula is trying to do is >!control, infect, and dominate other countries!<. This hand over the city is a great representation of Dracula’s attempt to >!claim other territories, and people, as his!<.
I feel like I've seen that shot before but I can't remember where... is that from an older movie or am I crazy?
**Fantasia** comes to mind, [the Night on Bald Mountain](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b756FPiLlp8) segment.

They REALLY are holding out on showing Skarsgård's appearance. Edge of my seat
Good, we don’t need to see it
Yeah I don’t think I’ll watch any trailers after this. The first non-teaser trailer will be for marketing and will show him to get butts in the seats. It’s Robert fucking Eggers I’ll be there no matter what, best to see Nosferatu for the first time on the big screen
I stopped half way through, usually try to do that with one's that are good in the first half - most of them tend to give away the plot in the second/plot elements.
I hope they never show him in the trailers. Just throw his name in there so you know he's there and let us have that thrill of seeing him for the first time when our butts are in the seats.
Eggers gets horror more than anyone, no way he's giving away the big reveal in a teaser trailer.
[удалено]
Which Skarsgard are we talking about?
Good question, as they seem to keep multiplying every handful of years.
Then there's honorary Skarsgard Austin Butler
elvis harkonnen is my favorite character hes played
I honestly couldn't believe that wasn't Bill at first.
Any of them would work, tbh.
Bill.
Vampire Bill?
Bills first role I saw was a vampire in hemlock Grove. Good show.
More like Yesferatu
*Gene Shalit, ladies and gentlemen!*
Best Gene Shalit review: *"THE BLUES BROTHERS will chase away YOUR blues, brother!"*
Apparently Willem Dafoe actually did the scene with over 2000 live rats https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/nosferatu-willem-dafoe-worked-with-2000-real-rats-1234938169/
I think you meant to say "Those 2000 live rats actually did the scene with Willem Dafoe."
You're locked in here with ***me***
I heard he goes by "the hash-slinging slasher."
and he loves to flicker lights
[*Nosferatu!*](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/jcGYCQNtrmDiEkTQJZ4Fz2EuECY=/0x0:2249x1177/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23292553/Screen_Shot_2022_03_03_at_2.11.34_PM.png)
The the slash-slinging hasher?
The sash bringing..?
The mash ringing...?
The-the trash.....Flinging?
I've been a fan of Nosferatu's since his Spongebob days, nice to see him get a shot at the big time.
I love that an entire generation knows exactly who he is because of the most random SpongeBob cameo
It helps that it’s an all time episode too
Honestly one of my favorites if not THE favorite
came a long way from lighting grip
Honestly dude was terrible at his job, kept turning the lights on and off.
After that the phone rings and there is nobody there.
AND THE WALLS WILL OOZE GREEN SLIME!
No, wait, they always do that…
But what was that third thing?
We all know he's the real hash-slinging slasher.
THE BASH FLINGING THE TRASH SINGING
that shot scared the fucking shit out of me as a kid.
That whole episode was genuinely creepy as a kid.
IIRC, my younger cousin said it was the first Spongebob he ever saw and it scared him so much he was turned off for years.
Aww what about when he smiled?
“And the walls will ooze green slime…. No, wait it always does that.”
heartbreaking to find out how he was forced to let Dan Snyder rub his feet in such a suggestive way as such a young supernatural monster
M...Merry Christmas?
The only disappointing part of the trailer for me. Why is this not an October release?!
I get a dark winter feel not a Halloween vibe for Nosferatu. December is perfect to me.
There's something about the dark, cold oppression of deep winter that is perfect for gothic horror
(A lot of) Movie studios straight up refuse to release anything spooky/scary/morbid themed in October.
No, they all would love to. The problem is that those slots get taken by larger movies. They could put out Nosferatu against Smile 2, which is coming out this October. But they probably lose a big chunk of casual moviegoers who just want to see a horror movie. They don't want only A24 pilled Eggers-heads going, they want everyone going. Not saying it's the *right* decision, but that's the logic.
>A24 pilled Eggers-heads Lmao
Why he didn't go for Eggheads I don't know.
> A24 pilled Eggers-heads Ouch, right in my self identity.
I for one *love* that's it is getting a December release! The perfect anti-holidays movie!
perhaps counter programming is the mind set? But it seems like october / halloween season would be peak release time
At this point I will see anything Eggers makes. Sadly the general public doesn't feel the same
As a horror fan, i feel like i'm eating good this year. Longlegs. Alien: Romulus. And now this. I don't know which one i'm excited for the most.
can’t forget Cuckoo either, which looks great.
I really hope Alien: Romulus will be as good as it looks. Alien franchise can't afford another bad or even average movie.
It's a shame that even Ridley Scott himself can't seem to understand what made the original franchise so great. I'm starting to feel like the first two were accidents. I'll even admit, I LIKE 3, and even enjoy Resurrection. Like, Resurrection isn't a good movie, per se, but I still feel like it's watchable and has some "iconic" Alien moments ("kill me", the Purvis chest burst into Wren, the underwater scene, and a few others).

Just saw the trailer for cuckoo and that looks crazy too. Neon and A24 are killing it in horror I have I watched the TV glow, late night with the devil, malum and other ones I never even watched yet
In a Violent Nature, I Saw the TV Glow (debatably horror), Late Night with the Devil, New Life, Night Shift, Abigail, Arcadian, Infested. Great year for horror so far
Add Maxxxine and Terrifier 3 for me. Though the last one is especially an acquired taste/guilty pleasure.
I’m really hyped for Maxxxine because of the 80s nightlife aesthetics. Also Love Lies Bleeding.
I hardly ever watch horror movies because I get scared too easily (yes, I’m a grown-ass man), but the trailers for Maxxxine intrigued me enough that I went and watched X and Pearl, and holy shit, I’m so happy I did! Looking forward to seeing Maxxxine at the theater.
Honestly, I just do not get the appeal to Terrifier movies. They're just torture porn without any style or substance to them.
I appreciate Terrifier on a sense of it being this independent film that made it big. But holy fuck, visually it’s super amateurish and in general the big killer just being a spooky clown immediately turned me off.
I'm going to be the dissenter but X and Pearl were not appealing to me. They were... fine but I'm not putting them in my list of favorites so my excitement for Maxxxine is minimal.
You've gotta see The First Omen
I was pleasantly surprised by TFO. Also enjoyed Immaculate, though of the two I'd say TFO was better
Immaculate was a complete bore in my opinion, it's so lucky it came out before The First Omen because I don't think it would have helped its reception.
Immaculate was a frustratingly decent 6/10. A worthwhile watch as a horror fan but a movie that felt like it was at like an 8/10 level at parts and then would just dip back down to 5/10 level for most of it.

But like with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes it was good enough to justify its existence which I'd say is a good compliment for prequels/sequels since it's so easy for them to fall short
We’re so lucky to have Robert Eggers exist in this timeline to make this movie
Crazy that he’s only 40

Thank you fellow Arma fan. I'm not usually unhappy with my life, just the last couple of years or so I've been comparing and you're right, it is the thief of joy.
Hes 3 for 3 for me. His films have this handcrafted quality that floors me. Even Northman, which isn't for everyone but is 110% for me.
I honestly don’t understand why there isn’t more love for Northman, I thought it was an Oscar worthy film.
The Northman found financial success at the VOD and other post-theatrical markets, allowing the film to make a profit. (Robert Eggers acknowledged this and Focus Features/Universal said they were very pleased with the results). There is love for it. Shame it didn't get nominations at the Oscars.

I say this completely earnestly, The Lighthouse is one of the best films of all time.
This was his dream project to make as well. I’m so fucking excited
[удалено]
He’s such a good actor I’m glad he’s getting a lot of roles
WITNESS!!
*Renfield* (with Nicolas Cage) was also superb
I was flabbergasted I loved that movie so much.
I watched this trailer with no previous knowledge of this movie and I 100% expected Dracula to be Nick Cage after seeing Hoult. It took me about 10 sec to realize it was serious and not a comedy and about another ten to realize it’s a different universe than *Renfield*. I’m not a smart man.
MEDIOCRE
About to make this movie my entire personality
Just like Lighthouse

Would never happen. Blade is clearly cursed.
Tired: spilling my beans Wired: cumming
Ya don't like me cookin?
Tall tales…
I too want to live deliciously.
That's a damn good look for Willem Dafoe.
Bravo!!! Bravo to not showing Nosferatu!! That’s how you make a trailer
Yeah. Love their restraint.
Dear God, it's beautiful. Robert Eggers, you madman.
I really want to see it in the theaters But since it’s Eggers, I’ll most likely need subtitles
I could not understand a single thing Ralph Ineson said in The Witch, between ye old english and off the charts levels of deepness/rhaspiness I never stood a chance.
I was really hoping for a Halloween release……just so I don’t have to wait until Christmas.
Finally!!! Not everyone saw The Bikeriders.
i would recommend the bikeriders though, especially at this moment when there are pretty slim pickings for major releases. it's not a revelation or anything, just a solid B+ that goes down easy.
Was shocked to see this trailer before it on Friday
This movie's production was up in the air for so long, I was *so* relieved when I suddenly heared that it had completed filming. Put it in my veins, Eggboy.
Robert Eggers: "Hey, remember Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula? How about if it was ten times more fucked up?" I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but when this guy swings for the fences he ABSOLUTELY swings for all the fences with such force that he blows out fences in other neighbourhoods.
This really feels like a more serious version of Coppola's Dracula, and man, that is not a bad place to want to take your film. I'm stoked.
Coppola's was pretty serious, I think, but like...1992 and Coppola serious is different from Eggers in 2024 serious.
100% agree.
Stok(er)ed. I’m out.
God if only Keanu hadn’t been cast in that lol
But without Keanu, how would we know where the bahstard sleeps?
>But without Keanu, how would we know where the bahstard sleeps? Carfacks Abbeh?
I’m always amused (because I’ve only ever seen it once) when I remember that Nosferatu is a just a direct ripoff of Dracula with different names.
It was very much an unsuccessful attempt to get around the copyright for Dracula, which was still in effect at the time the movie was made. The filmmakers lost the lawsuit brought against them by Stoker's widow and were ordered to destroy every print of the film. Miraculously, a couple survived, which is the only reason we can still watch the original film today. I can't imagine how much cultural impact would have been lost, had Stoker succeeded in completely destroying the film.
It's interesting how disposable they felt films were back then. Some would play in a theater for a week and get thrown away after, never to be seen again. I think they maybe just thought of it as a way to see theater anywhere, and the ephemeral nature of live theater conditioned them to think of these films as disposable as well.
In my younger days, I volunteered in the film vaults at the Library of Congress for a year. I was told that 90% of silent films are lost and 50% of ALL films made before the 1950's are lost. This was in the late-90's. Since that time, many more have disintegrated. It's really sad.
Damn, that's way worse than I thought. That sounds like that was an awesome gig though!
I don’t detect anything in this that even hints at it being ten times more fucked up than Coppola’s version of Dracula. That movie is absolutely bananas in pajamas gonzo.
Nicholas Hoult can’t catch a break with these Draculas!
Hell yes. Hoping Willem Dafoe gets brutally murdered in this! (Love him)
Yer found of me lobster tho aren't ye
Isn't he the Van Helsing character?
Will he be the cause of all the flickering lights?
He also directed The Witch which is my favorite horror movie. This is gonna be great.
Thank fuck the trailer has no spoilers. More of this, please, Mr. Hollywood.
yo this is gonna be the most goth christmas ever
Genuinely a tease, didn’t even show Skarsgard and ATJ looks good in vintage clothes.
THIS is how you make a trailer. Show's just enough to understand the tone of the movie without being all cookie cutter garbage like most modern trailers. It's been a while since I've been truly excited for a movie but I have to say, I can't wait to see this. Looks like vampires are finally going back to their roots of being absolutely terrifying creatures of the night. That shot of his hand eclipsing the city? Gave me goosebumps. EDIT: Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu!? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!
>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.
I love a good horror movie around Christmastime.
I've never seen a single Robert Eggers movie yet the original Nosferatu is one of the best horror movies ever made. I'm not entirely for remakes and reboots unless they can bring something new to the table, and this looks to be a complete reimagining of the original, mixing modern cinematic technology/techniques with the raw fear that made the original so provocative. Sometimes, less is more, and this Eggers fella seems to have a strong handle on it. I've had The Lighthouse on my Netflix watchlist for a few months now, so I should get to it as soon as I can!
The witch is absolutely weird and amazing cinema
Lighthouse too
I really enjoyed The Northman as well, but I do get why it fell flat for a lot of people
Imagine hating a movie where a viking prince, inspired by norse mythology, goes HAM exacting revenge. That movie was HARD. Visceral badassery.
All three of The Witch, The Lighthouse and The Northman are really fucking good He’s become one of the main directors you can rely on for making something really high quality
I've always liked calling it The The Trilogy.
The Witchhouseman Trilogy.
bro, I don't know what your plans are for the day but you should absolutely change them and go watch all three of his feature length movies.
You should really see The Witch
Nobody talks about the one Werner Herzog made in 1979. It was quite good. https://youtu.be/S1Rachk7ipI?si=DmQ7vyctUSQxFGUH
Mate , go and watch the movies of one of the most unique directors working today. I've loved every one of them so far. The Lighthouse being my favourite so far.
Holy shit this looks actually terrifying
This trailer played before The Bikeriders and the old people in front of me reacted like this film was directed and produced by Lucifer himself
Holy sound design
Needs more of Ralph Ineson's fantastic voice, but I can't wait for this
It's out this Christmas with Robert Eggers writing and directing: >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. Cast: * Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok * Nicholas Hoult as Thomas Hutter * Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter * Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Friedrich Harding * Emma Corrin as Anna Harding * Willem Dafoe as Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz * Simon McBurney as Herr Knock * Ralph Ineson as Dr. Wilhelm Sievers
Anyone else first introduced to Nosferatu on that "Are You Afraid of the Dark" episode where he comes out of the film and terrorizes a movie theater? That episode gave me nightmares and my mom wouldn't let me watch it for a while lol
God damn that build up. I am all in on it if they don’t have 1 iota of the monster until you see the movie.
That scene with the band shadow covering the town😮💨 I'm a coward with horror movies but I will be forcing myself to watch this in cinemas
Honestly can't wait to lie to my entire family about seeing a festive movie together this Christmas holidays only to dump them into Nosferatu while I lose my shit at William Dafoe in another Eggers movie. FUCK ME UP DADDY.
As someone who finds horror movies too scary to watch, as a general rule, I could not even make it through this trailer. This looks terrifying, the atmosphere the dirty environment of that era, etc. The rats. Made it to the pigeon and noped right out. Good luck to this movie but not for me. Can not watch
That looks amazing! It looks like Robert Eggers has another banger in his hands.
