Why Nosferatu Made Me Spiral about Women in Horror and the Concept of Agency

Описание: I LIKED THIS MOVIE, WATCH TO THE END... This is a very very long discussion about Robert Egger’s Nosferatu film, starring Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Bill Skarksgard. First, we’ll unpack Dracula and the 1922 Nosferatu, then go through the 2024 Nosferatu breaking down important plot points, and then finally we take a look at how women are treated in the horror genre and apply that perspective to this film. Did Ellen have agency? How did Egger’s changes impact the source material? Spoilers for everything! We’ll be talking all the theories/interpretations!

*I did not use the same amount of visuals/photos for this one. Might be better to listen to it like a podcast. I apologize for this, I know the creators were protective over certain visuals leading up to the film’s release, and seeing as this is still a newer movie, I wanted to be respectful of that.*
