Nosferatu

This is my first robert eggers movie. I really really liked it at first. The feel, the sets, the lighting and the fucking accents. Omg, bill skarsgard (still can't believe it's him) saying herr knock will live in my mind rent free. This movie isn't particularly scary, but very disturbing and bleak. The gore, the mania and tone were set really well. Ideally, this movie should be an 8.5 but oh dear, the ending was really bad and put me off. I was intrigued by the almost sensual way they show nosferatu sucking blood. The euphoric face that thomas or ellen, and the very disturbing way he undulates over thomas. Creeped me out a bit. The themes of Ellen reprising her sexuality because it is deemed as wrong while men, like fredrich not needing to do so is very evident, along with the sexual assault allegory going on bw ellen and nosferatu. The only way nosferatu (the rapist) can be defeated is by ellen (the rape victim) consenting (via blackmail and having no other choice) to getting her blood sucked (intercourse/sex) till morning? What the fuck? So the only way to kill the rapist is for the victim to get raped and and sacrifice herself? This didn't sit right with me at all. In fact, I should bump down some more points just for this very fact. Ellen was groomed since she was a kid. Manipulated and assaulted by the fucking vampire himself, but she has to do it again to save everyone. It just pisses me off because the narrative could have been written in any other way, but it was chosen to be like this. I don't care if this was how it was in the original stories. It doesn't matter to me. It sucks so much because the film right before the ending was fucking fantastic. It's a shame, really.
