Eggers seems like an excellent choice to make a period piece vampire movie that is actually effective and doesn’t come off as a joke. The Witch was tense and moody when a huge amount of the tension was just characters looking into the woods. Effective because Eggers showed just enough to keep the threat forefront. The Lighthouse was something of a swing and a miss plotwise, being about 15% too confusingly esoteric to keep the tension, but individual scenes and sequences were effective and tense. It was also a very well shot black and white movie. While Nosferatu isn’t going to be black and white, it looks like it will have some very desaturated sequences, and knowing that those will be shot in a way where I can actually see what’s happening is positive.

The shadow of the hand over the city was great, and I swear a reference to something but I can’t quite place it.

I’d watch this
