Monsters: Dark Continent (2014) - 2/10
Sequel to the original Monsters (2010), which has nothing to do with the initial film at all...apart from using some monsters as scenery. It is very odd.
The first film was about aliens landing on earth and an exclusion zone being established in Mexico which couldn't be crossed due to risks involved as this was our means to contain them from spreading. A reporter or something has to escort a rich mans daughter through the mess and onto a plane/boat home. During the course of the adventure they fall for each other etc. It is a charming film where the 'monsters' aren't really hostile and they're just trying to survive as our two lovers head to the border.
Dark Continent is a desert war film in Afghanistan with some of these monsters in it. It is a very odd decision because the film is just outright rubbish and I've no idea why I am writin...
Nosferatu - 9/10
A visual and audio masterpiece. I love Bram Stokers Dracula and I couldn't wait to see this one. There are so many incredible visual moments where you just gasp at the use of lighting, followed by a great cast acting their heart out (hurrr) and to top that off, our big bad is terrifying. It took me ages to realise that the actor playing Thomas Hutter was the same lad I watched in Skins decades ago!

Nosferatu - 7/10
I'm not totally sure on scoring this one, it was a really well done film, good atmosphere good acting but it just lacked a little something to bring it all together for me. Definitely an arthouse/theatrical type of film, so won't be in everyones tastes, with some great nods to the old original.
I've only seen Northman by Eggers and it's got his vibe all over this one as well. The Lighthouse has been on my watch list for ages, I'll have to get around to that one.
