I don’t understand the criticisms of Nosferatu

It wasn’t perfect, but as a modern retelling of an expressionist gothic classic with eggers signature style and some modern horror tropes weaved in, it was pretty incredible

The amount of people on reddit who claim they were bored to tears or walked out of the cinema is insane to me

We’re all entitled to our opinions but i don’t understand how you could call it boring? There was a persistent sense of dread that ramped up throughout until it reached a point where if anything things were happening too quickly to digest

They complain that Count orlock had a moustache and was a hopeless romantic incel… his look was more akin to Romanian nobles at the time plus yeah that’s the entire Dracula / Nosferatu character, it’s a gothic love story after all.

They said the characters weren’t very well developed but I believe that’s a stylistic choice, reflecting the source material.

Others say it wasn’t remotely scary… it wasn’t trying to be a true and pure horror film but to say it wasn’t scary whatsoever seems absurd, I’m a seasoned horror viewer and there were a few scenes that sent chills down my spine.

Almost everyone admits the cinematography and score was incredible at least

I don’t want to invalidate their critiques but it seems a lot were expecting this film to be something that it never intended to be.

As for me it was one of the most captivating films I’ve ever seen and I can’t wait for Werwulf
