The film is grim and dark, but there's never a dull moment. Definitely better on screen, in a dark room. I love where Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult are in their careers now. I've followed Lily-Rose from "Yoga Hosers"(Movie) and Hoult from "Skins"(TV Show) up until now, Nosferatu. The film transitions were very unique and told the sense of emotion or state of mind they're in, through the characters. By either them levitating or waking up in or out of a dream. After the beginning of the movie and everyone is introduced the movie continues in a sequence of fever dreams in his stay at Count Orlok. The story continues to the same end as the 1922 original. But in between, there is definitely original horror and you didn't know what was gonna happen next. Thomas appears not to be sure if he's awake or not. The modern Nosferatu captures the visible monster in voice and costume. My interpretation of the 1922 original was Thomas overlooking Nosferatu and not being taken back by his appearance. The most powerful key note is the cast posture. For example, Nosferatu passing the stamped contract with his long hands and nails to Thomas. Also, Ellen's body language to Thomas a Nosferatu I feel makes it feel like a real movie and you're seeing a true story in motion.
