Nosferatu
First film of the year and first cinema visit of the year - it has already started out amazing
I already knew the plot before going into watching it so I knew what the ending would be but my god it was so much darker and terrifying than I imagined.
Starting off I must say that Lily-Rose was phenomenal the entire film; in every scene she was in she captivated the audience, the way Ellen recalled her dreams to Thomas were spine-chilling. Every scene where Lily's body was contorting was so overwhelming and uncomfortable yet I couldn't look away it was pulling me in and the blood-curdling screams felt so real.
I'm so glad I didn't accidentally see any Count Orlok pic spoilers before going to watch it because seeing Bill Skarsgård in all his glory was truly haunting, the shadow of his hand being cast over the town filled me with so much dread.
Last things to mention; I loved the cinematography, for such a dark film it was lighted beautifully I especially loved the scene of the townspeople walking through the cobbles it was such a dark and eerie atmosphere. The final 15 minutes where it shows Ellen and Count Orlok lying on the bed together was such a satisfying ending, Orlok died at the hand of his own greed and lust killing everyone in his wake.
