Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens | 1922 | dir. F.W. Murnau

Nosferatu. Does this word not sound like the midnight call of the Bird of Death? Do not utter it, or the images of life will fade - into pale shadows and ghostly dreams will rise from your heart and feed your Blood.

Rating the Orloks from most to least fuckable

Now that I've watched all 3 Nosferatus and Shadow of the Vampire, its time to answer the most important question anybody could have about these films: which Count Orlok is the most fuckable??

1922: Ok, maybe I can see it. Grandpa is stunting in doorways and serving with his little outfit and we appreciate a man who can wear many hats. Also respect to an og silent film baddy.

Rating: not for me, but I'll hear you out

2024: This one's for the folks who only ever fixate on the crustiest most questionable characters possible. Like crushed on Heisenberg from Resident Evil, wants do filthy things to Grima Wormtongue folks. Pros: he's tall, I guess. The mustache is kind of charming and I will admit the brief flicker of genuine human emotion and the speeches in reconstructed quasi-Dacian are kind of compelling. Cons: the balding, peeling, scabies-riddled corpse-look and soul-deep workhouse wheeze are decidely unattractive. I can only imagine the olfactory aspects are not much better. Did look remarkably improved after eating a couple people but still. (Whether those people were friends of yours or not probably also factoring in here.) The Or-cock is respectably proportioned but has syphilitic vibes. Unclear whether the Cossack top lock should be a pro or con, so just leaving that here. I will say the whole vibe generally is still less off-putting than a number of customer service interactions I've had.

Rating: at least this is better than having to hear how fuckable Beetlejuice is again

Shadow of the Vampire: He's weird, he's ugly, he's unappealing, he owns one outfit, he drops into remiscences about his glorious youth that you aren't sure whether to believe or not, he's disturbingly obsessed with a female celebrity, he lives in a hole and comes out occasionally to Ozzy Osbourne a bat or two and clack his nasty acrylics at people like a tiktok child. This is just any normal hateful, horrifying old gay man you'd pass on the street.

Rating: No

1979: Imagine the world's most inhumanely overbred, miserable and self-pitying toy dog sits across the table from you. It glares at you with total hatred burning in its weepy red eyes, breath snuffling loudly through its stunted nasal passages. Already it relishes the prospect of your imminent death in its shriveled, malformed little heart. And then it starts licking you. That is 79 Orlok.

Rating: possibly the least fuckable vampire in history. Ew

Here’s a link to the trailer for “Nosferatu”. It’s a remake of the 1922 silent film “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror” which was an unauthorized telling of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”.

Nicholas Hoult plays the stand-in for Jonathan Harper, Willem Dafoe in the Van Helsing role, and Lily-Rose Depp as Lucy.

Bill Skarsgård has been cast as the Vampire Count Orlok but no images of him yet.

It’s scheduled to be released on Christmas Day 2025.

My mother and I have a tradition of going to the movies on certain Holidays. Namely, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Today's film was the remake of Nosferatu. Picture this: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is out, Moana 2 is still playing, Wicked is still playing, and Mufasa is out. Should be a nice quiet experience. After all, who's going to go watch a remake of a 1922 German Vampire film (that itself was plagiarized from Bram Stoker's Dracula and subsequently sued into oblivion) when there's so many other, more enticing films to take your family to?

It turns out, everyone.

I have been to a theater this crowded once before, and that was for Aquaman 2. It was such a dsmn bizarre experience. I'm talking huge crowded families. I'm smelling pepperoni pizza and dill pickles (I'm from Texas; that's a thing here) while the plague made manifest is endeadening everything with a pulse.

If you have seen any of Eggers' previous films (The Northman, The Lighthouse, The VVitch), you will be prepared for the sort of authentic atmosphere this film provides. In modern vampire films, the vampie (spelled deliberately) is sexy, seductive. The Blood Curse torments you with side effects such as being too damn sexy for sunlight. Nosferatu here remembers that a vampire is virus, an infection. It's not sexy, it's the plague. A thing of death.

Nosferatu obliges your desire to be disgusted and mortified. Most Dracula adaptations do not disturb me. This one, rather thankfully, disturbs me.

I don't know too much about Lily Rose-Depp. I know her by way of her father, and her small role in Tusk. I can't be surprised I liked her here. After all, Robert Eggers doesn't use an actor who can't pull their weight. She's the emotional weight of this film and does a damn good job of it. To be fair, everyone works incredibly well here.

Bill Skarsgård has thrice now taken on a role in a film that's a remake or reimagining of a previous film. He's been Pennywise the Daaaancing Clown, he's been Eric Draven, and now he's Count Orlok. I'm not saying anything, but it's interesting he's done this many remakes. This one, however, is far more uncomfortable than his sanitized Pennywise ever could have been. In IT we've got a glimpse or two of what he can do. Here, he gives so, so much more (if you can ignore the mustache).

Like I always say, not for everyone, but this was certainly for me.
