Nosferatu 2024
Basically a case study in "less is more" when compared to the 1922 version. Does an excellent job at borrowing from the original: the moody blue and yellow scenes, the expressionistic and inky use of shadow, and overall great cinematography.

As we essentially live through the polycrisis of the intro sequence, it's a more pertinent angle on the revenge theme than we've seen in some other recent action movies.
However, Fury Road…
