Quick Review – Nosferatu (2024)

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of witnessing the carnal fear and ecstasy of Nosferatu. I am not a horror connoisseur by any means, but I’ve seen my share of scary flicks and love a good supernatural story and especially a vampire film. If Dracula is the foundational popular vampire novel, the original Nosferatu (1922) must inherently do the same for the film medium. Working with such material, there is always a reverence due that fans will be looking for: does it maintain some truth of the original? Does it meaningfully add to the story? Would we all have been better off staying home and watching the original?
