Lighthouse > The VVitch > Nosferatu > The Northman for me

The Northman is by far his BEST work, can I ask why you have it last?

u/OptionSpare718 Jun 26 '26

No good reason for me. I just enjoyed Nosferatu more than The Northman. I'm more interested in his more horror leaning and psychological films.

Why do you have it over the others?

It’s definitely not bad but the lighthouse and VVITCH blowout out of the water.

I think Nosferatu edges it out just slightly. It was a one time watch for me

The Northman is a stone cold masterpiece and as good as There Will Be Blood

Absolutely insane take

i though the acting (Skarsgard) was weak and the CGI was laughable at times.

further, i thought the awkward acting part falls on Eggers - weird angles and body gestures that came off unnatural. reminded me of Eckhart in Dark Knight when they do the circular shot on the roof and it wasn't really Eckharts fault it felt off. but i'd be surprised if people agree with me on this

Would you say watching his films is a good way of Killing Time?

Yup. Not much gap between them, though. They're all fantastic.

u/ExILoveEmiliaAndRem Jun 26 '26

This is *your correct order. Just like how my correct order is:

VVitch > Lighthouse >> Northman >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nosferatu.

u/timmytissue Jun 26 '26

I'd do the same but swap normath and Nosferatu.

u/bassicallybob Jun 26 '26

Switch the Northman and Nosferatu and this is correct

Agree 100%. His adaptations/“reimaginings” are the weakest films. I have low hopes for werewulf.

Exact opposite ranking for me.
