    Nosferatu

    DRAFT-

    The first Eggers movie that is completely wearing on me. I think something is happening to him as he becomes more accustomed to being a movie director, where the artifice of modern film production has been seeping in since The Northman.

    There's a certain scene where this movie goes full "you're looking at a set" that is so jarring it's almost like watching an SNL skit, where the two couples are indoors at a dinner party staircase.

    Aaron Taylor-Johnson doesn't take anything seriously, he's just wearing a fake moustache and a smirk.

    The Substance

    ★★★★

    Although its ideas and influences are less than subtle, by the finale I was pretty won over by the overall batshit-ness, editing, and score.

    There's alot of fairy tale going on, which I dig. I just wish the pastiche was a little less obvious to my fifty something cinema brain. I'm sure multiple other horror movie devotes have lists of the super obvious filmic references.

    This will make me go into the director's back catalog for sure tho!

    Offensively useless, ugly, and unnecessary.
