I loved it. It was calming and unsettling at the same time.

Wonderfully disturbing. Familiar, yet still distinguishable from the 1922 and 1979 versions.

Lighting and ambiance was foreboding as well.

For some reason, the scenes at the Harding house seemed a bit unsettling ... especially around his daughters even before Orlok killed them.

Speaking of Orlok, after all the sparkly emo kids and tragic backstories I've been subjected to, it was refreshing to have the vampire actually be evil made manifest; nothing sexy about him, just completely unsettling.

It's also kinda funny, with that mustache, he actually looks closer to Bram Stoker's original description of Dracula in the novel Murnau (illegally) adapted.
"...the superstition of yesterday can become the scientific reality of today."

Hello folks,

Well, can't say that I liked it, in regard to the extended version. A little too bloated for my liking. In fact, I didn't even stick around to watch the whole film. I did enjoy the 2023 version directed by David Lee Fisher. I really thought that version was more of a dreamlike experience & more faithful to the original 1922 version... But that's just personal preference.
