As hyped as I am to see Renfield (and to see Nic Cage go all out again), if there's one interpretation of Dracula that DESPERATELY needs to be brought back, it's Nosferatu.
The thing about the Nosferatu films (both the Murnau and the Herzog versions) is that they're more than just straight-up adaptations. And funnily enough, one of their most notable themes is plague and pestilence, not just the disease that's being spread by the vampire, but also from BEING a vampire.
And given how society is still reeling from the pandemic, it wouldn't be bad to have another Nosferatu interpretation that re-explores those themes again.
Sorry, I'm just a really huge fan of both movies.

Barnabas is always making plans that fail spectacularly the moment they come into contact…

Throwback Video
It’s Nosferatu’s 100th anniversary this year and Halloween. So of course I needed to throwback to my review from 5 years ago. Also that Robert Eggers remake Nosferatu is blowing up
Happy Halloween
