My mini-review of NOSFERATU.

Short version: I liked it a good deal, but if you’re not into seeing a movie explore the idea of vampirism simultaneously being a metaphor for kinky sex and disease, well…

Slightly longer version: NOSFERATU is solid work, sometimes a slow burn, but it delivers the goods. Sometimes it’s delivering the goods in ways that simultaneously horrifies and arouses reviewers, based on some of the reviews I read. Eggers made it work, though. Good vampire movie.

PS: If you haven’t seen the original, any version of Dracula will do for explaining some of the context. Or SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE, which is a vampire movie about the original vampire movie NOSFERATU. It’s also surprisingly hard to acquire the DVD for it. I mean, I already have it, but I dunno what the rest of you are gonna do…
