[QUOTE="TimG, post: 838, member: 47"] I am torn about going. I loved The Witch but already liked The Lighthouse less (too mannered) than the previous film; the trailers for this film were off-putting and the reviews from critics whose taste tends to align with mine were mixed, at least two comparing it unfavorably to Valhalla Rising (which I've not seen but Mads Mikkelsen is one of the finest actors today so I'm going to seek it out). On the other hand, it IS an original film in a sea of superhero movies and other pre-existing IP. I might go during the week... I'm hoping Eggers' planned Nosferatu remake stays in development hell (Harry Styles was meant to be playing the Renfield character, I believe but had to drop out which in turn stalled the entire film). Murnau's film is too iconic and Werner Herzog has already taken a remake as far as it could creatively in 1978/9. A second remake might feel like Abel Ferrera's 1993 take on Body Snatchers which was just fine but not essential like Kaufman's 1978 film or Siegel's 1956 original (with Kaufman's remake edging out the 56 film, even). I'd rather Eggers writes an original vampire story of his own. That would meet a lot less resistance. He did also say that at some point he'd be interested in a third New England-set horror film.
