The vampire design took me a little by surprise, the movie was horny, and had a lot of badass lookin scenes. Didn't feel as long as it was, Willam Dafoe hams it up.
Oh they did a good job with the famous hand shadow scene too from the 20s one.
Would definitely recommend!
Did they make Orlok a romantic sadboy?
I want to have faith in Eggers but also it feels like every single Dracula since Christopher Lee has tried to be subversive about the original story in a way that just annoys me to no end.
They did not. Orlok is menacing and full on raging in service of his id.
I'm sold, hell yeah.
Not really? Obvs the love is a big story component but it's more "you promised me, I own you now, and you're not getting out of that" if that helps answer your question? Honestly this is the first Dracula movie I've sat thru.
