Nosferatu fucking slaps. Truly amazing, a respectful treatment of the source that exceeds it without trying to eclipse it. (hexbear.net)

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.
