Nosferatu - Extended Cut 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital

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!

Wow, from the storyline, to the hauntingly beautiful cinematography, this is a must have to add to your collection. It is unique and the acting mesmerizing. A great movie. Buy this.

Given the overly frequent times the Dracula tale has found its way into one movie after another, it surprised me greatly how fresh, original, and full of surprises the new Robert Eggers seemed to me. Compared to nearly all other recent Horror film releases, it was amazingly literate and inventive in the articulate way that it blended the traditional lore about the notorious vampire with so many myths and historic beliefs about its subject. The script was eloquent, at times, almost Shakespearean in its stylishness. All in the wonderful cast committed themselves to the hyper-intense. operatic style of the piece. So many of the stark, striking visuals in the film were breathtakingly museum-quality gems. For a story which too many of us may know too well, it offered many powerfully shuddersome moments, which any longer tend to work as well in so many other movies in the over-crowded genre.

I enjoyed the movie -- beautifully shot, and a nice, 'grounded' approach to depicting the vampyr. The film does some great things with language that I didn't expect. Eggers makes use of Romanian, and also Romani (gypsy) language -- it's very distinct, and I was glad to see that. And then -- Count Orlock (Nosferatu) speaks in a reconstructed Dacian language, that Eggers consulted with a Romanian scholar. It's like ancient Romanian mixed with Latin -- so that was cool. BUT, despite all this careful fidelity to language... The main characters are supposed to be German. A good portion of the film takes place in Germany. But the main characters all speak with English accents. WHY????, given all the prior attention to a correct use of language? Honestly, I found it really distracting. If the principals spoke with German accents, this would have been awesome. So -- I'm docking a star for this inconsistency.

love it

Loved the movie! Arrived on time and with no issues. Product was as expected. Great for a rainy or snowy day watch

SPOILER ALERT. With a stellar cast (who give monumental performances), beautiful, sumptuous photography, and a literate script and direction by Robert Eggers, the definitive "Nosferatu" has finally been realized. The grothesque imagery of the 1922 vampire (immortalized by Max Schreck) has here been replaced by a simple vision of a corpse-like, but conventional make-up, decaying but less immediately off-putting than the original (and the awful 1979 remake starring Klaus Kinski). It faithfully follows the thrust and concept put forth in the original film, and expands it by including their friends Friedrich and Anna Harding, and their two children in the narrative. The addition of the subplot of Ellen Hutter's psychic link to the monster (brought on from loneliness as a child) was a masterstroke, which deepened the story. All of these elements combine to make the inherent horror much more palpable. Never, unfortunately, has the original book been summoned in the dozens of versions of "Dracula" made in all these decades (unless you consider the 1977 BBC version starring Louis Jourdan, which was based solely on the original book). Here, the book was counted as a part of the narrative, giving the material quite the literary thrust it so genuinely deserved. If you like the 1922 version of this (or, God forbid the talky mess that is the 1979 remake), you will LOVE this movie. It will go on as THE classic it deserves to be.

very good item

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

Amazing quality, And CD was in prestine condition

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.
