    Nosferatu

    ★★★★★

    NOSFERATU shakes the cobwebs of modernity off the bones of vampire myth and wreaths them in the bloody flesh of ancient folklore nightmares. Better than most any other film I've seen, it understands the intextricable toxin of allure that has kept the creature haunting our dreams for centuries.

    The last three minutes of this movie were so goddamned bone-chilling that I was forced to add an extra half-star to the score.

    I'm pretty sure Hideaki Anno transformed Ür-text for self-absorbed anime sad-boy antics into the nerdiest and most expensive love letter imaginable, dedicated to his wife. It's absurd, barely coherent, maddeningly obtuse, and borderline unwatchable at points. It's perfect. I absolutely love it.

    It's honestly kind of fucked up for Daniels to make a movie that makes every other movie feel less like a movie by comparison.
