Maybe it was intentional? ..for me, i thought the film failed to take the viewer 'their' into the world of Nosferatu.
As a result it felt more like a story about Nosferatu. I felt cold detachment throughout.
I was not sold on the look of Nosferatu, who looks like a manky human.
Maybe i cannot look beyond the brilliance of the classic 1922 Nosferatu.
Most of the time, the film comes across like a period drama. From time to time,
to spice things up, jump scares are thrown in.
I felt there were too many moments when for example there would be 3 or more characters talking,
each one taking turns to speak their lines, as if they were reading from a script. On that level, the film felt wooden.
I went into Nosferatu expecting more than it delivered.
At times, i felt bored. I did enjoy the scenery.
I watched the theoretical cut, which felt overly long. There was the option of an extended cut
