Cinema from a Decidedly Queer Perspective
Nosferatu | 2024
Yet another retelling of the Dracula story might seem like unusual Christmas Day programming, but Robert Eggers' Nosferatu, with its wintry setting and gothic trappings, might just be a perfect holiday treat for horror fans.
There's something agreeably no-nonsense about Alex Parkinson's Last Breath, a straight-down-the-middle, meat-and-potatoes true-life rescue thriller we rarely see anymore. Perhaps I'm looking at the past through rose-colored glasses, but there once was a time when mid-budget actioners like this were multiplex staples. Nowadays, you're more likely to see movies like this relegated to streaming rather than playing on a big screen.
