 Dark Nuns is really devoid of ideas, and the few that are there are poorly exploited.

 Dark Nuns is a horror that can only scare at the beginning, when you expect some jumpscare that will never come.

Dark Nuns, screened at the Far East Film Festival, disappoints with a predictable plot and poor execution. Despite its fusion of Catholicism and shamanism, the film lacks originality and scares. The lengthy exorcism scene fails to engage, and the film does not live up to expectations set by the festival. Discover why Dark Nuns fell short at the Far East Film Festival—read the full review before you watch!

 There is no technology capable of preserving the ideal forms of love, and it is not death that kills, but the corruption of the soul.

 The script decides to take this potential, make a ball out of it and throw it in the trash.

 The pace is soporific, the plot coils upon itself, and already in the second season, it’s slipping into the insipid.

Severance Season 2 starts with an intriguing concept about memory separation at work, but quickly unravels into a confused mix of horror, clichés, and weak plot. The story fails to capitalize on its premise, with dull characters and nonsensical conflict. Despite scattered thriller elements, the pacing is slow and disappointing. The reviewer finds it unworthy of a paid subscription, recommending only a free trial watch. Discover the full critique and decide if Severance Season 2 is worth your time—watch with a free trial on Apple+.

 Eggers' Nosferatu is the least personal and more anonymous film in his career, more heartfelt but lacking his unique authorship.

 The tension remains high without boredom, but the film is annoyingly derivative, borrowing openly from Coppola's Dracula and other horror classics.

Willem Dafoe's performance and the detailed depiction of plague-ridden Germany receive praise.

 Eggers' Nosferatu is a beautifully dressed woman who, as soon as she opens her mouth, deflates you.

 I saw him as if in a trance, thinking about my own business, waiting resignedly for the end of this bland and useless film.

This review criticizes Robert Eggers' Nosferatu as a bland and uninspired remake that fails to match the emotional depth and originality of earlier vampire films by Murnau and Herzog. Despite good set design and technical effort, the film lacks engagement, with wooden performances and absence of originality. Willem Dafoe’s portrayal feels uncommitted, and the film overall is described as monotonous and a disappointing effort. Explore why Robert Eggers' Nosferatu didn’t live up to its legendary roots—read the full review and see if you agree!

 The Count Orlok is not just the monster... Eggers metaphorizes him as a feeling to be hidden and repressed.

 Great cinema is also made of gestures and seemingly insignificant hints. The camera movements, photography, and the close-ups on the eyes of evil are masterful.

Robert Eggers' fourth film, Nosferatu, is a faithful, yet innovative adaptation of Bram Stoker's work focusing on repression and desire. The movie excels through strong visuals, masterful camera work, and deep character exploration. Dafoe shines as Dr. Von Franz, while Skarsgård fully disappears into Count Orlok. Though some performances might feel solemn, they enhance the atmospheric tone. This retelling is a grim, richly layered horror experience deserving acclaim. Explore Robert Eggers' chilling Nosferatu and experience a fresh, haunting take on classic vampire lore.

 It starts off well, promises much, more than it delivers.

 With a more compact story and a more ‘elevated’ performance it could have been the bomb it promised to be.

Longlegs opens with a powerful and promising start, featuring well-crafted visuals and tense atmosphere. However, its plot becomes clichéd with supernatural elements that deflate enthusiasm. Nicholas Cage's portrayal is over the top, and the story feels less focused than expected. While director Oz Perkins shows skillful craftsmanship and genre knowledge, the movie ultimately serves more as a style exercise than a gripping thriller. It falls short of the high expectations set before release. Discover if Longlegs' style and scares are enough—read our in-depth review or watch now!
