Nosferatu

Amazing quality, And CD was in prestine condition

Amazing 4K quality and arrived before time in a very well packaged box (probably the best kind of packaging for physical media that I’ve seen). The disc was brand new and scratch free. Beautiful looking movie. The audio is hauntingly atmospheric.

For all fans of horror movies, this is the ultimate movie. The horrific story is not diluted or modernized. The viewer will NOT get the following: 1) a sanitized, dandified monster; 2) a sexy, mysterious, seductive Count Dracula clinically penetrating neck veins; 3) cool superpowers, flying away as a bat; or 4) a happy ending. Instead, the viewer WILL receive these things: 1) a vile, despicable monster; 2) a human slug living by sucking the blood of innocents; 4) a putrid attraction offering power but taking it instead; and 5) redemption only through embracing the terror. We’re told by psychologists that the attraction of the macabre is the relief of surviving the unendurable. At the end, our own daily problems and challenges look small in comparison. This movie is the real “Dracula” legend in all its disgusting, vile aspects, hitting on all the tropes: even extending out to very real pestilence and pandemic. In addition, this is an unvarnished look at medieval times when the recent dead were dug up and staked. This was done least they become vile monsters, the undead lurking in the shadows to feed on the living. With excellent acting, incredible sets, and a focused plot it is beautiful in its relentless display of ugliness. One can take away deep lessons from this movie, such as the corruption of ethereal beauty by tasting the pleasures of hell. But those looking for a cheap thrill, a few giggling shocks, a cool monster should avoid it like the plague. I must say, though, it produces a lasting impression. I avoided viewing it for a while because I knew that “Nosferatu” was an encapsulation of the worst of humanity and society: embodied in our worst nightmares. It did not disappoint. Viewed projected on a large wall screen in 4K with full surround sound turned up, it is a fascinating and repulsive immersive experience. View this masterpiece with due caution. Beware selling your soul to the devil. You might not like what you must pay in return!

Um dos melhores remakes de terror que já fizeram. Baita filme e a imagem e som são excelentes. Não tem legendas em PT-BR

Bought as a gift so unable to comment on movie. It is a remake of an old silent horror film.

Robert Eggers lo ha vuelto a hacer: ha invocado los horrores del pasado con una estética moderna y perturbadora. Nosferatu no es solo una reimaginación del clásico de 1922, es una misa negra fílmica que rinde culto al expresionismo, al terror gótico y al silencio que grita desde las sombras. La fotografía es un poema visual en blanco y negro, cada encuadre parece una pintura maldita. Bill Skarsgård encarna al Conde Orlok con una presencia inquietante, casi hipnótica; es menos humano que nunca y más símbolo de la pestilencia, la obsesión y el deseo no correspondido. No es una película para quienes buscan sustos fáciles. Es una experiencia sensorial, un lamento fúnebre que se arrastra como el propio vampiro, sediento de belleza y destrucción. Ideal para amantes del horror que respiran arte y oscuridad. Una joya maldita. No apta para todos los paladares, pero sublime para los que sabemos encontrar belleza en la decadencia.

Moustachiod vampire is surprisingly effective. Great filmmaking from Robert Eggers. Much better than The Northman and The Witch but not as good as The Lighthouse.
