By the very end of this film, Robert Eggers' Nosferatu quite literally brings a feeling of warmth into one of cinema's most notable stories of dread. It's bold in it's acting, and in its visuals, Eggers original style shines through with a cinematic feeling that makes me wish there was a bigger screen where I live. It's that gothic atmosphere of a scale that's rarely seen, and it all works together to evoke a near sacrilegious and foreboding tension to it and I think that's what makes Eggers filmmaking in this film so impressive. All the actors comply with performances of their own which helps bring to life that contrast of possessed and possessor, Lily Rose is a star, and the chemistry between her take on Ellen Hutter and Nicholas Hoult's take on Thomas Hutter is so adorable and my favourite part.

I really want to avoid comparisons but to bring a vampire to film so perverse in its nature after countless attempts to sanitise Stoker's original tale is fascinating, and at a nature that rivals that of Werner Herzog and FW Murnau? This feels like Eggers cementing his place in horror filmmaking forever.
