Tonight, we're catching a late(9:45PM) showing of Nosferatu.

From what I can tell, it looks like the theatre is going to be pretty full.

I, honestly, can't remember the last time that I was this excited to see a relatively mainstream release on the big screen. Also, the first time I've made sure that I've avoided all reviews & trailers, so I'm going in cold.

I'm not too worried; but, I sincerely hope that Eggers doesn't fuck up one of my favorite horror stories ever.

Out of 3 Nosferatu #film, Egger's effort is definitely 3rd, for me.

I enjoyed it mostly & will watch it again. I think if I had not had a long history with the others, I may have come away less critical of this 1.

1 point only here: The new Nosferatu is apparently menacing; but, most of the role is obscured by shadows & mumbling.Only in the last 5 minutes do we really get repulsive, grotesque, alien, dessicated & feral.

Herzog & Murnau had this in spades all the way.My 2¢.
