What's that flapping noise? Might it be ... #vampires in our library?!

I've been wondering why #RobertEggers' new adaptation of #Nosferatu came and went with barely a cultural blip, but now that I've watched it I can see why -- because it's both boring as shit and surprisingly generic for an Eggers film. Now add nepo baby Lily-Rose Depp, whose screen presence is the equivalent of shooting an inert pile of turds for 120 minutes; then finally give Dracula a 1970s porn mustache (?!?!?!?!?!), and it's easy to see why this film bombed so bad.

Getting ready to head downstairs for the #Archivedon #WatchParty. Tonight we are watching #Nosferatu. Please join us in 35 minutes. There are several versions on Internet Archive, which I've not looked for since (and am not going to right now)... But on my PeerTube we have:

Which I think is what I'm going to be watching (unless I get waylaid and end up selecting something else, as my whole 29 (I think) torrent collection is being transferred downstairs).

Thank you everyone. Really appreciate having you on board for my Tuesday night film watching/selecting. Take care.

I could watch hours of Willem Dafoe play Victorian dudes, fabulous!

Käytiin tänään katsomassa puolison kanssa uusi Nosferatu. En ole kauhuelokuvien ylin ystävä, mutta leffa onnistui silti viihdyttämään pari tuntia, vaikkei mikään mestariteos minusta olekaan.

Tämä oli siinäkin mielessä kiinnostava nähdä, että en ole nähnyt alkuperäistä Nosferatua, enkä lukenut Draculaa. Vaikka opiskeluaikoina tuli katseltua paljon vanhoja klassikkoelokuvia, tuon onnistuin missaamaan.

Had a little rush on my 'Nospurratu' due to 'Nosferatu' I think funny how a film can suddenly lead to a boost in interest! And nice to know horror fans appreciate a bit of cute every now and then as well! https://www.blockforest.co.uk/spooky-linocut-shop/nospurratu

NOSFERATU

is 2 hours and 12 minutes of unwatchable torture. I cannot understand why it got these points on rotten tomatoes. It's terrible.

After 1 hour and a half Julio and I just gave up.

There’s the well-known #Nosferatu but few people still use the very formal Spanish form “Vosferatu” in everyday conversation.

Watched the original Nosferatu (1922) last night, then bits of Vampyr (1932). It is MIND-BLOWING how much the language of film advanced in that decade.

In Nosferatu, a lot of the acting is still trying to reach the
back of the theater, and a lot of the camera work is fixed and stiff. I do wonder if part of the reason it became so legendary was due to the copyright lawsuit that required all copies to be destroyed. (It is a blatant Dracula ripoff.)

Vampyr is much more naturalistic — and also much more creepy. I still can't figure out how they executed the shadow special effect. (Yes, I know, it's probably online, but I want to ruminate on how they solved the problem first.)

We also decided to watch Nosferatu with German title cards to practice our German. We managed some of it! Some we had to look at the subtitles, and there were a couple of handwritten things we were expected to read that were illegible.

Next on the list: Werner Herzog's Nosferatu, or as we call it in this house, "Dosveratu."

Wow indeed! The original 1922 #Nosferatu is on Amazon Prime! It has a new soundtrack which from the trailer sounds amazing. Will be interesting to watch and compare with the latest #Nosferatu movie when I see it next week at the #cinema

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922)

Σε προετοιμασία της επικείμενης προβολής του remake του Eggers, είδα το αυθεντικό Nosferatu του 1922, την οποία δεν είχε τύχει να δω.

Πρόκειται για ένα αριστούργημα, όχι μόνο για την εποχή του, αλλά και για την εποχή μας. Παρόλο που είναι βουβό, μόνο με ορχηστρική μουσική και υπέρτιτλους, σου κρατάει αμείωτο το ενδιαφέρον και σε ανατριχιάζει. Σε πολλές φάσεις αναρωτιέσαι πως σκατά γύρισαν κάποιες σκηνές με fades και σκιές εκείνη την εποχή. Η ατμόσφαιρα σκοτεινή και οι ηθοποιοί άρτιοι. Μην το προσπεράσετε.

Trivia 1: Η ταινία του F. W. Murnau, κυκλοφόρησε το 1922 στη Γερμανία ως πρωτότυπο σενάριο, αλλά κατά βάση πρόκειται για διασκευή του βιβλίου Dracula του Bram Stoker, με αλλαγμένους χαρακτήρες στα Γερμανικά (πχ Count Orlok αντί για Dracula, Hutter αντί για Harker). Σύντομα η γυναίκα (χήρα) του Bram Stoker το πήρε χαμπάρι και κινήθηκε νομικά. Η απόφαση που βγήκε, διέταξε να καταστραφούν όλες οι κόπιες, αλλά (ευτυχώς!) μερικές επέζησαν. Το τέλος της ταινίας, πάντως, είναι αρκετά διαφορετικό από αυτό του βιβλίου.

Trivia 2: Η μουσική της ταινίας ήταν γραμμένη από τον Hans Erdmann και είχε παιχτεί ζωντανά στην πρεμιέρα από συμφωνική ορχήστρα. Δυστυχώς, λίγα κομμάτια της διασώθηκαν και η μουσική που χρησιμοποιείται πλέον είναι μεταγενέστερη, του '50-60 (στην κόπια που είδα πάντως, είναι υπέροχη, όπως και να έχει).

Welp, I'm glad I saw this review, now I know not to watch the new #Nosferatu film - which is a shame as I'd been looking forward to seeing it, but nope. I won't be giving this my money or my eyeballs.

CW in the review for mentions of sexual violence and rape.

[Edited to add - yes I've seen the original, but the thing about a remake is Eggers could have changed this aspect. He chose not to. That speaks volumes.]
