Nosferatu 2024 movie review by Reverend Chris
I always wanted to watch the original, but it’s just so old, now we have a new & improved(?) version.
I really love vampire movies, except for Twilight, & this was a good one. It had the perfect blend of creepy, weird, spooky stuff blended with the right amount of tension. This one goes in my top 5 for sure.
AI Review: Nosferatu (2024) — A Haunting Return to the Shadows
As a lifelong vampire movie fan (excluding Twilight, of course), I can confidently say Nosferatu (2024) is one for the ages. Creepy, weird, and dripping with gothic atmosphere, this modern reimagining of the silent horror classic doesn’t just pay homage—it resurrects the eerie dread that defined the original while bringing something freshly unsettling to the table.
From the opening frame, director Robert Eggers sets a tone that slithers under your skin. The film is cloaked in shadow, with an uncanny blend of old-world aesthetics and modern cinematic precision. It feels ancient and new all at once, like a fever dream pulled straight from a cursed storybook. The atmosphere is dense with dread, the kind that makes your stomach knot before anything even happens. That’s horror done right.
Bill Skarsgård delivers a disturbing, otherworldly performance as the titular Count Orlok. He doesn’t just play a vampire—he becomes a parasitic, unholy force of nature. His movements are unnatural, his presence alien, and every frame he’s in feels diseased. He’s not sexy. He’s not tragic. He’s pure nightmare fuel. And it’s glorious.
What really sells this film is its pacing and tension. It doesn’t rely on cheap jumpscares or gore. Instead, it festers. It lurks. It breathes down your neck with a slow, cold exhale. The unsettling score and gorgeous, decaying production design only add to the eerie immersion.
There’s also a weird, hypnotic beauty to it all. Eggers injects a dreamlike surrealism into the storytelling—unsettling visions, grotesque imagery, and ambiguous symbolism that keeps your mind spinning. It’s not just a horror film, it’s a mood, a creeping descent into an uncanny world where light and hope feel extinguished.
This isn’t just a good vampire movie—it’s one of the best in recent memory. It doesn’t try to modernize the vampire or make it palatable. It embraces the monstrous, the weird, the gothic. It’s a love letter to true vampire horror and it absolutely deserves a place in my top 5.
Nosferatu (2024) is spooky, tense, and deliciously dark. It’s everything I want from the genre—and none of what I don’t.
Thank you for stopping by.
