Overall a visually stunning movie, loved the cinematography of it all. As the title says it is like an Ang Lee film but horror, stunning but slow moving. The actors weren't bad I like most of them but just seemed like a flat delivery.

Out with the old & in with the new. A lot of people tend to like the same typical/boring Hollywood stereotypical crap. This was visually fantastic and just great watch overall.

I like it. I think people may have thought there would be jump scares. Some people want to just watch the same movies all the time. Most movies are made for dopes.

So I took 2 stars away because its false advertising and it's only good looking. Not much else. Not original. Nice directing, pacing, thrilling, exciting visuals. Its like Bram Stokers Dracula remix for 2024 on speed. Ironically its about 24 minutes too long. They repeated a few types of scenes that didn't need to be repeated. This movie could have been edited down to 90 minutes.
Now the false advertising is "Nosferatu". This is NOT Nosferatu. This Is NOT Orlock. This is Zombie Vlad Tepes!!! And the really ruins the movie for me. If this was an honest movie it would have called itself Bram Stokers Dracula (2024).
Visually it achieved its goal of being an homage to Francis Ford Coppola and his stunning 1992 hit "Bram stokers Dracula".
But this movie lacked the soundtrack of that film, the story, and originality.
This was Hollywood's big chance to make Orlock his OWN creature with a different back story than Dracula. And they FAILED to the ultimate extreme. They went out of their way to not only not do anything different, but they flat out COPIED Vlad Tepes classic look making this closer to the novel Dracula than most classic films.
I absolutely despise the fact that they gave us Dracula instead of Orlock and merely changed his name to Orlock. Orlock has a distinct appearance and looks nothing like Dracula in every other iteration on earth! But these DUMB creators thought it was a great idea to forsake the classic Orlock and just force us to witness a sad re-named derivative of Dracula with Vlad Tepes face. Romania should sue this film for making their historic hero into an ugly zombie. At least every other movie shows him returning to his youth and sexy glory.
In summary:
1) its not nosferatu! Its Dracula. AGAIN
(Visually should have looked like Orlock from 1922)
2) It has no unique soundtrack with 0 memorable themes of any kind
3) no real story just good acting and visually stunning
4) too long by about 2o minutes at least.
