Nosferatu

Nosferatu is Robert Eggers’ magnum opus and it’s gonna be very difficult for him to ever top what he achieved here. He was born to direct this film and there definitely isn’t anyone that could do a better job than him. Rewatching this on IMAX makes you see every little detail he crafted for this film and it’s just ridiculous what he achieved. From set design to the costumes to the cast to the play like dialogue everything is just at an all time high here and it’s super impressive of what he can do behind the camera. Cinematography is exceptional and he does such a great job of bringing this world to life. On rewatch the score really stood out to me as this haunting brilliance that I want to hear more of.  Already mentioned in my first review but Lily Rose Depo really is exceptional but everyone else is just perfectly cast and fit into what Eggers’ wants to perfection. Every scene in this film feels like it has purpose and is never just trying to fill up the runtime. Found it to be incredibly scary again giving you this feeling that evil is always just around the corner, lurking in the shadows. There is so much lore and the rewatch really helped to notice all the little details that build up to an incredible climax.  Bill Skarsgard as Nosferatu is frightening and unrecognizable. Everything about his portrayal of the iconic character is exactly what you want and I just continue to love how he looks which others have critiqued. I need the extended edition as soon as possible please Robert Eggers :)
