12.26.24 | The Northman on my opinion was mid af but damn did Eggers come back with this. |
Hyperion1001
12.26.24 | it fuckin ruled yeah |
Zac124
12.26.24 | Cannot wait to watch this. Eggers is probably the most interesting new director. Absolutely loved The Northman. |
brainmelter
12.26.24 | yea it was was cool, some of those shots were chefs kiss. I dig it more than the northmane I think. It’s very occult-ish and it gave me a similar feeling to the Vvitch in the way where you feel like you’re watching something you’re not supposed to be. the sound was amazing, the two main characters were ehh. Fredrick and orlok were my favorites |
Hyperion1001
12.26.24 | disagree hard the depp girl killed it and was the best actor in the movie. |
brainmelter
12.26.24 | oh no her acting wasn’t ’bad’ I just never got invested in either of the aforementioned characters. my b I may have worded that poorly |
BallsToTheWall
12.26.24 | The Northman to me
Just seemed like a choppy, condensed version of Vikings with no depth but that’s just me.
Lilly Depp absolutely owned this movie but everyone was great, especially Aaron. |
BallsToTheWall
12.26.24 | Also Willem Dafoe gave me Boondock Saints vibes but more whimsical with his performance. |
Hyperion1001
12.26.24 | dafoe wasnt as stand out to me solely because i just expect greatness from him so i wasnt surprised that he absolutely killed it. i love how playful he made the character while not letting the eccentric nature completely take over. |
BallsToTheWall
12.26.24 | I completely agree Hype and am actually quite relived that he wasn’t killed off. |
Hawks
12.26.24 | The Northman definitely grew on me. Didn't enjoy it all that much at first. |
gabba
12.26.24 | I’ve seen Haxan recently, amazing movie, couldn’t believe it’s > 100 years old. So hyped for Nosferatu, can’t wait until it’s coming my way! |
TalonsOfFire
12.26.24 | Northman was amazing, modern classic for me. The Witch is around the same level. Hoping this one lives up, looks incredible. |
Hawks
12.26.24 | The Witch might be my top horror movie of the 2010s. |
BallsToTheWall
12.26.24 | Still never seen it, added to list. |
Hawks
12.26.24 | Balls you'll love it. |
Wildcardbitchesss
12.26.24 | Seeing it on Sunday, can’t wait |
Goodolboy
12.26.24 | The lighthouse is still his best one imo |
Gameofmetal
12.26.24 | The Witch > The Light House > The Northman = Nosferatu for me
His Tell Tale Heart short film is really cool too. |
EyesWideShut
12.26.24 | Glad Eggs came through, he definitely knows his influences. |
Futures
12.26.24 | so so excited, seeing it tomorrow i think. as a history nerd, eggers is the man. he gets us nerds. love all 3 of his but the witch is def my fav. |
Hawks
12.26.24 | Damn I never saw The Lighthouse gonna have to get on that. |
SomeCallMeTim
12.26.24 | Me and my buddy leaving The Lighthouse: “that was awesome!”
Some dude and his partner next to us: “that was a waste of two hours” |
Calc
12.26.24 | I'm gonna force my wife to watch this with me tomorrow. I'm excite |
Sharenge
12.26.24 | The Lighthouse is still probably my favorite, but Nosferatu probably second... need to do a rewatch of The Witch and The Northman though |
BallsToTheWall
12.26.24 | Somebody wife in their 40’s walked out Snd was waiting outside until it finished |
YoYoMancuso

MetalMarcJK
12.27.24 | Haxan is a trip. |

12.27.24 | Firmly below Northman for me after second viewing. Lighthouse still reigns supreme with the vvitch just behind it. Was a solid interpretation/spin on the og source material but eggers played it a bit too safe for me. I come to expect great cinematography and style from eggers but the story didn’t feel uniquely his own(I know hard to do since it’s a movie that’s been made to death)and lacked his usual subtext. Of the two nepo babies i surprisingly preferred Bill Skarsgård‘s performance- I normally can’t stand him or his face. Lily depp held her own but I wasn’t blown away by her or anything in this film. I’m disappointed albeit I likely expected too much. |
unclereich
12.27.24 | Almost forgot to add that I had to google whether aaron taylor johnson was British as his accent and acting were so bad it was distracting. Reminded me so much of Keanu’s infamous Dracula performance. |
Jash
12.29.24 | Two hours and a waste of immaculate cinematography just to show us Thomas is a cuck |
Hyperion1001
12.29.24 | you really thought that was something huh |
Jash
12.29.24 | My comment was as good as half the acting in the film, I’ll admit it |
Hyperion1001
12.29.24 | they say there’s no accounting for taste |
IAmScott
12.29.24 | going later today. watching the OG 1922 film right now, hopefully will have time to squeeze in the 1979 Herzog film too |
fogza
12.29.24 | Haven't seen the new Nosferatu but the Northman was awful. The Lighthouse was wild and worth the time. |
Jash
12.29.24 | they say there’s no accounting for taste
I mean I’d *cuddle* my dead wife too, for taste |
BallsToTheWall
12.29.24 | Vikings despite all
Its flaws > Northman down to its Hamlet core. |
