Reviews
Nosferatu looks like a spooky version of A Christmas Carol. I love the costume and set design. Those are definitely my favorite things here.
As for the actual film, I am conflicted. Sometimes I was captivated, like with Lily Rose-Depp's performance in the fight scene leading up to the sort of weird sex with Thomas. Sometimes I was bored and dozing off, like when Thomas was in Orlok's castle. That seemed to last forever, even though I love a Nicholas Hoult and I was super impressed with Bill Skarsgard. I really can't see myself choosing to watch Nosferatu again in the next seven years minimum, but if someone asked me if they should watch it, I'd say sure.
