#50: Nosferatu(s)

Gerry Hartman and Sammy Ray Episode 50

Another year goes by, another Dracula adaptation hits the cinemas... Sammy and Gerry are discussing 3 of the most famous film adaptations of the classic text - the 3 which are entitled "Nosferatu:" F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent classic, Werner Herzog's 1979 reimagining, and the latest version from Robert Eggers. The boys discuss which features of the original text the respective filmmakers emphasize and focus on, the various virtues (or downfalls) of their different stylistic approaches, as well as how the films fit into their different time periods. Spoilers for all films, but it's Dracula, you probably know what happens already.
