NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE (1979)

It’s the silence that gets me in this scene; you can hear everything - his apprehension, their breaths, her moans. And the way he lifts her dress and looks at her in awe, the way he kisses her neck before every bite, the way he grips her breast, and the way she urges him back to her when he starts to leave. Shockingly intimate.

Having just seen NOSFERATU, it can be said that Robert Eggers is responsible for the rise of Gothic period horror. Filmmaker Samuel Edward Mac certainly holds his own with his impressive short film, Wraith, which feels like a distant cousin to something found in the Eggers-verse! The costumes and cinematography really stand out for me, but what brings everything together is the dark but captivating tone.

"WHATEVER DID IT, IT WAS BIG, HAD CLAWS, AND DIDN'T MIND A LOAD OF BUCKSHOT."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a promotional image of the Wolfman, from the American period horror film "The Wolfman" (2010), directed by Joe Johnston. It was a remake of the classic Universal film "The Wolf Man" (1941).

"It was about twenty-five years ago now. My pa found him: Quinn Noddy and all his flock. Brains, guts and God-knows-what lying across the moor. And the look on Quinn's face. Like he'd been eaten alive. Whatever did it, it was big, had claws, and didn't mind a load of buckshot. After that, me father went home. He melted down my ma's wedding spoons, and cast silver bullets off 'em. He wouldn't leave the house on a full moon from then on."

-- MACQUEEN (played by British actor Clive Russell), screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker & David Self

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a stupid stupid movie. I’m not saying there aren’t things in this movie that are cool enough action sequences that I’d like to airlift them into another movie but man. Movies have been stupid before this but this is just remarkable. Do see this movie if you can see it just streaming drunk.
