[QUOTE="Toni, post: 416336, member: 82"] My last movie of the year watched in a theater was "Nosferatu", the umpteenth version of the vampire saga. Not that I expected too much, but the movie is a creep fest, with lots of gore and no suspense at all because it doesn´t deviate too much from the Dracula previous versions. Poor Dafoe is completely miscast here in a supporting role that comes across as totally farcical. I´m not a fan of the most celebrated versions like Coppola´s or even the Lugosi one, but I did enjoy Langella´s at the time. Here the actors seem to be out of their element, and the script desperately needed another revision. Two good things about it: - Johnny Depp´s daughter seems to be born to play her role, and it will probably haunt her in the future. - The camera work is quite fascinating, and the way Photography plays with shadows and sepia tones is mesmerizing. All in all, I liked better the "making-of" movie "Shadow of the Vampire" starring Dafoe as the actor who played the title role in the first "Nosferatu". Anyway, I do prefer this new one over the director´s previous film "The North Man", just abhorrent. [CENTER] [MEDIA=youtube]iEbp8QMGzP0[/MEDIA][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
