“… quite a tradition to live up to…”
Everyone knows the tale, but because this is an Egger film, I’d say there’s high expectation that “tradition” be twisted in some way, re-imagined and surpassed. His other films benefited from being the kinds of myths/legends that were wide open to creativity, and thereby original stories and scripts that allowed Egger’s films to be very much his alone. So, I’m very curious as to how he’ll “live up to” tradition while delighting the Nosferatu/Dracula cognoscenti and surprising everyone else. We know he can create atmosphere, but then there’s the story. FD: Even if it’s an unqualified flop… I’d still watch it out of curiosity, hoping for any Egger moments.
