Eggers’ Remake ‘Devilish’ and ‘Classically Haunting’: It ‘Goes Harder Than Any Other Horror Film This Year’

Yeah, okay. Every horror nowadays and the last couple years gets slapped with the title of best/scariest horror/scary movie of all time, the year, the decade, the century, etc. That is pretty much what is being said about this new Nosferatu movie from that article. It's just being worded differently. But they are pretty much saying it's the best/scariest movie of the year like what was said about every other horror movie released throughout 2024 and the last couple years. That means it probably won't. Of all the horror movies I've seen between 2022 and 2024, either they are meh/okay at best, suck/terrible/waste of time, nothing special, forgettable, a mix of several other horror movies that did stuff WAY better, are one-time watches, or are Jumpscare City movies. So it's going to take a lot to convince me this Nosferatu movie is good. I am kind of interested in watching the movie after seeing the trailers, but I was also interested in Longlegs after watching the trailers. Longlegs ended up sucking. I guess I'll just have to watch the movie myself to see what I think. I can't believe what the critics and moviegoers are saying. And what the article says does not have me more excited. It has me leaning more towards the movie is going to be meh/okay at best since it's getting too much hype that a lot of previous horror movies get, which I thought all weren't as great as everyone claimed. And saying it's better than the rest of the 2024 horror movies isn't saying much since I thought the other 2024 horror movies I saw sucked. It's always possible though that Nosferatu could be my favorite horror movie of 2024, but right now it's hard to believe until I actually see it.
shareAt least it's from a director with a good track record so that makes it more believable. But yes, it's always best to not get too carried away by the hype. That should apply to anything, let alone movies. In terms of horror movies that garner these sorts of reactions, well I've seen a fair few that have started promisingly and have been decent enough while very few, if any of them, have ever blown me away. It's so much harder to do that now because everything has been done to death already. Not that it's the best film but the last time the horror genre truly offered up something fresh and original was probably The Blair Witch Project.
