I don't understand the ending of Nosferatu's script. I have it personally, but I have been wondering for years on what the heck happened. It says that Orlok "burns in sunlight" yet he is later seen dead with Ellen. That part is what confused me the most. Didn't the script say earlier he burned up in the sunlight? How could he be seen lying dead with Ellen later shortly afterward?
I just finished watching Robert Egger’s the witch and curious to see what people think about these two points
First off I’m surprised I didn’t see this on more discussions but it’s pretty obvious the whole story was a God of War (spoilers ahead) 2018 / Ragnarok Baldur situation where Freja wanted so badly to protect Baldur and that very same intense desire to protect lead to Baldur’s death.
The film opens with them leaving the church for not being as true to the word of god as they believed, now the patriarchs such crazed passion to be true to the word of god and recognise and avoid sin lead them to self imposed exile of where they were from and ultimately led them to more sin and all fucking dying.
Now Thomassin is the only one in the whole family that has confessed their sins as we see in the opening, and also through the film does not sin as each member of the family does.
These sinners were badgering on this poor girl so fucking much that they genuinely turned this girl into what they were accusing her of, a monster, she’s been accused and pelted all the movie by her own family that she was the witch, and because of it, they’ve turned her into one.
This shit is like that new movie Wicked lmao
Also the second thing I wanted to mention was how impressive the acting in this film was, except for Anya Taylor Joy, I really like her but to me she stood out like a sore thumb while I was watching because comparatively to the rest of the cast she felt so off and un convincing at times.
I laughed to see when I googled ‘Anya Taylor joy witch bad acting’ that she actually agreed and said after she watched the movie she was devastated and thought she’d never her an acting job again.
I was initially hoping to see it on Dec. 25th for obvious reasons (and also because it'd be a great way to spend Christmas night), but all of the desirable seats for the IMAX showing near me were already taken, so I got tickets to see Nosferatu in on the 26th instead.
I saw Nosferatu on Thursday night… I came out scared of the dark corners of my house, jumping at the sound of the wind hitting my bedroom window, I was completely afraid to close my eyes to sleep. This is everything I wanted and more.

Is anyone else having to deal with 10PM IMAX screenings around them? My nearest IMAX location is 35 minutes away, and all screenings I’ve seen are for 10PM only. It’s the only movie I’ve ever seen with that type of schedule.
Me and my friend will be seeing Nosferatu at one of our local Alamo Drafthouse’, opening weekend. I can’t wait!!
I’m tagging this as a spoiler in case someone doesn’t want to know anything about the content of the film ahead of seeing it. I just listened to the soundtrack on Spotify with good headphones. It’s incredible. I was haunted and terrified JUST LISTENING to it. My heart was racing listening to some parts. There are also some beautiful gothic fairytale-like themes woven in through as well that are a treat to listen to. I can’t even imagine how great the experience is going to be with the music, visuals, and dialogue together.
Anyone else listen to soundtracks before they watch the film? If you’ve listened to this one, how do you feel about it? I think this will end up on greatest horror soundtrack lists of all time. I think I’m going to hype myself up to watch the movie in December by reading Dracula while I listen to the soundtrack.
Which do you think will be better for the aspect ratio? Thanks !
Does anyone have any thoughts of when the final trailer will be out personally I don't think they will go past December 10th for the day it comes out what do you guys think?
If so, I think it would be hilarious if they acknowledged in some way, such as a character eating squid or something like that
I'm travelling to Prague this Christmas for the first time and seeing how (some of) my most anticipated film of the year was filmed there, I'd like to visit the locations if I can. Do we have any sort of reference on where the production has filmed in the city? I'd appreciate it if people who've already seen the film would chime in.
This just seems like a really inconvenient time for anyone to watch it. I wanna watch with my boyfriend so bad, but we’ll be spending time will family Christmas Day and will be away from eachother on the 26th. Are there any other days it’ll be showing in theaters?
Hi all! For school, I need to make a video essay comparing and contrasting two films through a specific lens, and I'm gonna look at Fight Club and The Lighthouse from Freud's psychoanalytic theories; more specifically on how the (physical or mental) isolation of the protagonists lead to their problematic behavior and toxic masculinity. I was wondering if anyone could help me with insights and ideas for The Lighthouse. Who's who for the id, ego, and superego? How can the Oedipus complex be applied to Ephraim and Thomas? Examples of sound design, mise-en-scène or cinematography being used to portray isolation and the mental deterioration of these characters? Thank you!
Hello! Does anyone know if there is a way to get a ticket to watch ‘Nosferatu’ at the London premiere on December 4th?
When should we expect user reviews or fan reviews?
My body is ready.
EDIT: I Posted the wrong date. The screening is Monday 12/2.
Posted this to the Cinematheque page as well, but I somehow got lucky enough to get a tix to their Tuesday Nosferatu screening... but then unlucky in work sending me out of town.
I'm mainly interested in trading my ticket for a +1 or ticket to a The Brutalist screening somewhere in LA, but if no one has such a thing I'll take $$$ offers as well.
Thanks!
