What You Need To Know:

NOSFERATU is a remake of a famous silent horror thriller from Germany. Thomas, the husband of a troubled young woman named Emma, in Wisborg, Germany, travels to Transylvania to close a real estate deal with the mysterious Count Orlok. Thomas discovers Orlok is a bloodthirsty vampire. Thomas eventually escapes, but Orlok is haunting the nightmares of his wife, Emma. Thomas makes his way back to Germany, but so does Count Orlok. Orlok starts to infect Emma’s mind and the town. Thomas seeks the help of an occult expert, but is it too late to stop Orlok and save Emma?

NOSFERATU has more than lots of chilling atmosphere to spare. However, the director ruins everything by inserting too much blood, sexual violence and nudity. For example, when the vampire feeds on people’s blood, you can hear the slurping and gulping sounds. Also, although the director solves the plot problem through sacrifice, the sacrifice is tainted by moral corruption. As a result, the movie’s ending is too disturbing. NOSFERATU would have been much better, and more enjoyable, without this excessive graphic content and moral corruption.

More Detail:

NOSFERATU is a remake of a famous silent horror thriller from Germany where a vampire named Count Orlok terrorizes a troubled young woman, her husband and their German town. Based loosely on Bram Stoker’s novel DRACULA, NOSFERATU and its chilling atmosphere are overwhelmed by too much blood, sex and graphic nudity, which infects the character arcs of the young woman and the occult expert who tries to help her and her husband.

The movie begins with the young woman, Emma, having nightmares of Count Orlok calling for her. Meanwhile, her husband, Thomas, is summoned by his boss to travel to the Carpathian Mountains to consummate a real estate deal with the Count. Thomas regrets having to leave his bride, who seems to have recovered from previous emotional issues.

While dealing with Count Orlok in his rundown, spooky castle, Thomas begins to realize there’s something’s monstrous about the Count. He discovers that the count sleeps naked during the day in a coffin. Shortly thereafter, the Count attacks him and sucks his blood. Thomas is left emaciated and held prisoner, but escapes.

Meanwhile, Emma’s encounters with Count Orlok in her nightmares get worse. A doctor is summoned but is incapable of stopping her hysterical fits.

Thomas makes his way back to Germany, but so does Count Orlok. The Count sets up residence in the decrepit mansion he bought from Thomas. Orlok starts to infect Emma’s mind and the whole town. Thomas and the doctor treating Emma consult one of the doctor’s former professors, Dr. Franz, but is it too late to stop Orlok and save Emma?

This NOSFERATU has more than lots of chilling atmosphere to spare. However, the director ruins everything by inserting too much blood, sexual violence and nudity. For example, when the vampire feeds on people’s blood, you can hear the slurping and gulping sounds. Also, although the director solves the plot problem through sacrifice, the sacrifice is tainted by moral corruption. As a result, the movie’s ending is too disturbing. NOSFERATU would have been much better, and more enjoyable, without this excessive graphic content and moral corruption.
