Wolf Man 2025
room full of film execs watching monkeys throwing darts at a board: “okay our new movie is a reimagining of (clunk)… the wolf man, except this time it’s a metaphor for… (thud) miscommunication in a marriage, and the tragedy here is… (thwock) it’s always been a generational cycle.”
“anything else?”
“uh well, the inciting incident is (*significantly worse throw*)… oh strange, it’s that hanging car scene from jurassic park…”

Nosferatu 2024
Might be recency bias, but this might be my favourite Eggers film in a genuinely flawless filmography. Lily Rose-Depp giving a career-defining performance reminiscent of Isabelle Adjani in Possession (1981), which is basically the highest praise I could possibly give a horror female lead.
Some of the shots like the rotating camera as Hutter walks towards the carriage, ALL of Ellen’s possession scenes, Orlok in the room with the girls and/or with the wolves, and the final scene will be etched into my brain forever.
