I just watched Nosferatu, and oh my god, what an experience! Robert Eggers completely reimagines the classic vampire tale, and it is absolutely haunting. The atmosphere is so thick with dread—it’s gothic and eerie, and every frame feels like a painting. The cinematography is stunning, with these shadowy, surreal visuals that make you feel like you’re trapped in a nightmare. And the performances? Chilling. The lead actor playing Nosferatu is terrifying without even needing to say much—just pure presence. Eggers’ signature slow-burn tension is here in full force, and the horror isn’t just about the monster—it’s psychological, creeping under your skin. It’s definitely not your typical jump-scare horror, but if you love beautifully crafted, unsettling films, this one is a must-watch.
