Yeah that movie was a lot of fun
What's on at the movies

I've not seen Nosferatu yet but it's so much on my mind that I dreamt I watched It last night but no way is the real film as disturbing as the one I dreamed, which culminated in a coven of female vampires gleefully eating the brains out of the upturned skull of one of their former cohorts and starting to eat her chin too

Finally went to see Nosferatu.
I really loved the opening but sadly my regard for it slowly dribbled away what with all the cacaphonous melodrama and hammy gothic bollocks going on. Maybe that's just implicit to the source material I don't know.
But I thought several performances were creaky and Aaron Taylor Johnson in particular was RUBBISH.
I did like the vampire himself, the rotting flesh and chest glugging. And the sunrise scene I feel is burned into my memory, loved the last shot of his dessicated corpse.

I watched the original Nosferatu last night and it made the eggers one make more sense to me as an adaptation.
It's quite a cool film in places but as an adult there's really nothing very scary about max schreck, esp the scenes where he's walking around the town in broad daylight with his own coffin slung under his arm.
I've been reading ppls opinions about nos2024 and some at least agree with my sense that it starts really strongly and then nosedives.
A film like that, which I feel like COULD have been brilliant and wasn't, sticks in my craw more than a piece of shit.

I've seen both of those, although so long ago that I might as well never have seen them.
Weirdly (or not) I remember shadow of the vampire being the scariest.
Perhaps because it's about a "real" world colliding with gothic fantasy, whereas films entirely set in campy gothic fantasy worlds are less scary on account of how fantastical it all is.

The trailer for that one's ridiculous. I don't remember the film too well, but I definitely remember it being scarier than it comes across there. The voice-over's peak 90s.

It's not actually at the cinema, but this just came out and I'd like to see it. Looks a bit like Annihilation and Eliot's Hollow Men's supposed to be a theme.

I hate that actor
Someone I used to work with who was a part time actor is apparently in this film as a bad guy/monster

It occurred to me that he looks like an action-oriented Ted Cruz.

Is it that guy from Too Old To Die Young?

Thing is he's like the guy from Shameless, not really handsome enough to be a Hollywood star at the level he is. It's weird people (me) see Brad Depp or whatever and they are jealous cos they are beautiful a-listers, then they see Miles Teller and they are even more jealous cos he's a not particularly beautiful a-lister (or near enough)
