EternalShinyAndChrome 3,974 Posted July 9, 2024 Yeah, Eggers is a good director, but I'm not a fan of the incestuous Hollywood nepotism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,292 Posted January 1 Wife and I saw this movie yesterday. Very good, but as is typical w an Eggers movie it has a very slow build up. I especially liked the sound design when Count Orlok is feeding. Very squelchy and gross. As an added bonus this is the first time I've seen the main actress. She's not shy about showing off her perky little tittays. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely heavy on the Gothic vibe moreso than straight up "horror". As I mentioned above, though, I really liked how Eggers handled the feeding parts.

Nudity? 100% Profanity? This is set in 1830s Germany and I don't remember a SINGLE bit of profanity. If the word "fock" was used it would have been so out of place that I would remember it.

Depp gal shows her diamond cutters a few times but I wouldn't call it excessive and the nudity made sense given the scene. Now Florence Pugh hanging out topless for an extended scene in Oppenheimer WAS the definition of unnecessary nudity. NTTAWWT. How old is the kid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We’ve watched a bunch of rated R movies with him like Terminator, Alien, Commando. It’s mostly about tone and that’s hard to gauge in a review.

He’s 15 and hears everything at school, but if I sit next to him at a movie full of profanity, then I feel like I’m endorsing it. I’m overprotective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
