Love me some Gothic horror and god damned if I wasn't satisfied. Gorgeous, had a bit of fun addressing some of the more problematic trappings of the genre in how it treats women.

Remade some of the amazing shots from the original film, maintained a fantastic creeping horror and dread, lots of truly disgusting practical effects, and some original and well realised additions.

Absolutely fab.

I yelled to a room full of motherfuckers I don't even know that I needed a shower, went home and took one after the first screening. I knew damn well that this Orlok was gonna be the biggest PoS version of him we've ever seen, but even then my expectations were a bit succeeded. Saw it opening night in the cinema, twice. Best xmas ever

They really worked him into this malignant stain on the world. I adored the dream logic of his scenes, and the way they made the animal transformation less goofy by making the rats/plague/wolves/count a sort of nebulous evil entity more than one single spooky dude.
