Comment on Just saw Nosferatu (2024, dir Eggers)

I’ve seen The Northman and The Lighthouse, and the Lighthouse was absolutely brilliant. I like the Northman, but the problem was the static and one dimensional characters with no growth or development. This works in The Northman because that is how the protagonists in Old Norse Sagas read as well. I’m going to see Nosferatu tonight, and I’m curious to see if that feels the same way.

I’m with you in the there was a better version of this movie in there somewhere. I likee it better than The Northman and definitely enjoyed it over all. A bit too reliant on jump scares imo, but i think the cast all did a wonderful job. I wish i could put a finger on what the movie was missing.

Yep. That’s the thing … It’s hard to work out, but I think there’s something missing from Eggers. Like he needs to work with a few great writers just learn some master craftsperson skills.
