Film Influencer 2025 - Nosferatu

New year, new movie series. U like? Film Influencer 2025, will be the one stop, movie review spot! No I am no influencer, to be honest I don't even know what one is or does for that matter.

However I do love film. I want to influence you to see the good, not the bad. Or maybe just warn you about the bad. Just so you can't say, I didn't warn you, but I did!

2025, a new year and hopefully some new hope for cinema in 2025. Let's just say 2024 was a little, underwhelming. Kinda like a singer you likes Christmas record. What I can bad mouth Christmas albums now! It's the new year OK!

Nosferatu is my first film for 2025!

I am a huge True Blood fan, I didn't really vibe Twilight, but there was eye candy. This was no Hollywood vampire film.

Directed by Robert Eggers, this was a remake of the 1922 silent film Nosferatu, which was inspired by Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. 

Starring Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, The Idol's Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney & Willem Dafoe.

This film has been planned for a good minute. With filming took place primarily at Barrandov Studios in Prague, Czech Republic back in February-May 2023.

Nosferatu has received positive reviews from critics and has grossed $56 million worldwide to date.

While the film is dark, it is lots of fun. However be warned, it is long. You all know my thoughts on a long film.

Even in 2025, I will rage on films for clocking in at over 2 hours. Nosferatu goes just over at 2 hours, 12 minutes.

I did enjoy most of the film. It was a sell out, the session I attended. Which I put down largely to the fact adults have been ignored (again) this year at the cinema for end of year/early new year releases.

Nosferatu is definitely not for the school holidays, however for adults it is exceptionally entertaining.

Well acted, intense and oddly romantic.

3.5 Stars.
