  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Dec 2024

  Of course the shots are gorgeous, of course the blood is running, but there’s something missing here for me. This movie suffers from comparison to both Eggers other works and Nosferatus of the past. In Herzog’s we empathize with Nosferstu, in Coppolas we’re seduced by him, in this one we get neither. I think Eggers usually works for me by subverting my expectations on a story level, and I wonder if that was ever going to be possible with a story I know beat for beat.

  An American Werewolf in London 1981

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Oct 2024 1

  Was not expecting this to be gorgeous. this movie is pretty reliant on deft practical effects/visual storytelling and it pays off! Really enjoyed watching a piece of horror made w both a) sense of humor and b) some restraint
