“Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” Spock, The Wrath of Khan (1982) This quote might be a spoiler.
Remember, Nosferatu 2024 movie is a remake of the classic 1922 Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror. Nosferatu 2024 is an attempt to update the 1922 version and in my opinion, it failed in so many ways!!!
Everyone should watch Nosferatu 1922 version in order to make an unfettered judgement on the 2024 version. Movie watcher reviews are mixed with a 3 out of 5 rating. It was painfully predictable and hard to watch, personally took a couple breaks for more popcorn butter and felt I did not miss a thing. I recently watched the 1922 version and Nosferatu 2024 pretty much follows the 1922 story line, not 100%, maybe 85%. Characters found in the 1922 version will all be found in the 2024 version, with the addition of a couple namely Willem Dafoe as Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz (aka Van Helsing). As a viewer that watched the original 1922 version, I was completely turned off by the 2024 version, it was trying too hard to become something special with shock value (and it wasn’t really shocking), nudity, spasm attacks and Count Orlok’s mustache. For me, the worse part is the storytelling, the film is simply just another Dracula film. The film continuously screamed, “look at me!!!” I am stumped how a silent film can tell a better story than a talkie. Over rated even at 3 out of 5.
You may ask yourself, why is Count Orlok not named Count Dracula in Nosferatu, read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosferatu
*Did you know Winona Ryder, Johnny Depp, and Lily-Rose Depp…
I know it’s weird, Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp were a Hollywood couple for a few years and Lil-Rose Depp is Johnny’s daughter and now all three have starred in some version of a vampire movie!!!
Winona Ryder stars in my very favorite Dracula film, Bram Stoker’s Dracula 1992 directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Some say the movie that follows the novel by Bram Stoker the closest. Gary Oldman was awesome as the Count and the special FX made the film.
Johnny Depp played Barnabas Collins like Johnny Depp in the movie Dark Shadows 2012 (comedy) directed by Tim Burton like a Tim Burton movie. Also starring THE Bond girl, Vesper Lynd aka Ava Green!!! Entertaining.
ENJOY!!!
