The most stubbornly unengaging film you could possibly make - everytime I tried to focus, I'd black out and wake up three minutes later with a game loaded up my phone once again!

  Nosferatu 2024

  Watched 01 Jan 2025

I fear visions of that better version will now haunt my dreams as if it were Count Orlok himself!
