    He's 3/3 for me currently. I still wasn't blown away by the one trailer I saw for Nosferatu but he hasn't let me down yet. Can't wait to see it next month, think it'll be the last film I see in theaters this year after Gladiator II yesterday.

    I'm in total agreement regarding Eggers. He is one of the few it seems who still care about the art of cinema.

    Well, Nosferatu is really killing it with the reviews so far. Not a surprise, but still happy news, of course, and I can’t wait to see it when I get the chance. That being said, I’m still disappointed Anya Taylor-Joy was not the lead as originally planned. She did so well in The Witch and The Northman, but sadly don’t know if she and Eggers will collaborate again.

    But... without Melissa and Jenna, I'm already much less enthusiastic about the film and the people producing it. The article also mentions
    Sidney's daughter

    which feels like they're milking the cow even drier. But hey, Scream 5 showed that they can still surprise me, so who knows.

    (But not Jenna... I'm sad.)

    I've just seen Nosferatu again, and I can't get this film out of my head. On the one hand, it's a close remake of the original, with only a few additions to the story. On the other hand, it's a stylish, bold, and perplexingly alluring film that highlights the often-overlooked thin line between horror and beauty. I find myself captivated by its mystery; as was the case when I first saw Herzog's version, my mind cannot escape the film's enigmatic grip. Eggers has created a movie that feels precisely tailored to my taste.

    It is pretty awesome. I look forward to revisiting it a lot once the 4K drops! Theater tickets near me are just too expensive for more trips right now sadly, but I’d love to see it again otherwise.

    Hammer Films Rises Again with
    New Monster Movie, Ithaqua
    https://ddoplayers.com/2025/02/11/hammer-films-rises-again-with-new-monster-movie-ithaqua/

    Horror fans rejoice! The legendary Hammer Films, synonymous with classic gothic horror, is back and ready to unleash a new era of terror. Under the ownership of British theater producer John Gore, the studio is committed to honoring its rich legacy while forging new paths in storytelling. And what better way to signal their return than with the introduction of a brand new movie monster?

    For the first time in 60 years, Hammer is venturing beyond its iconic interpretations of Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy to bring us Ithaqua. This chilling tale, set against the harsh backdrop of 1800s Canada, is currently in production under the direction of Casey Walker.

    Hammer Films tantalizes us with a glimpse into the plot:
    “The fur trade is in decline and a remote outpost is starving. A mercenary fights to unite the survivors against the cold, the hunger… and something far worse. A dark force is watching. Waiting. And those who fall into its grasp are cursed with an insatiable hunger for flesh.”
    The film boasts a stellar cast, including Luke Hemsworth, Kevin Durand, Michael Pitt, Craig Lauzon, and Leenah Robinson, promising a high-caliber horror experience. Hammer Films is already hyping the film, proclaiming, “This is horror as it was meant to be: terrifying and utterly unforgettable.”

    Hammer’s legacy in the horror genre is undeniable. Their classic films not only redefined iconic monsters but also cemented Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as horror royalty. The studio’s return has been eagerly anticipated, and the introduction of Ithaqua suggests a commitment to both honoring their past and pushing the boundaries of the genre.

    Who is Ithaqua?
    The Cthulhu Mythos, a sprawling tapestry of cosmic horror, is populated by a pantheon of terrifying entities. Among them stalks Ithaqua, the Wind-Walker, a creature of chilling power and ancient origins.

    Ithaqua’s first appearance was in August Derleth’s short story “The Thing That Walked on the Wind,” inspired by Algernon Blackwood’s “The Wendigo.” This connection to the Wendigo legend hints at Ithaqua’s roots in the primal fears of the wilderness.

    Described as a colossal, vaguely humanoid giant with glowing red eyes, Ithaqua haunts the frigid wastes of the Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions. From Siberia to Canada and Alaska, tales of this monstrous entity have instilled terror in local populations for generations. He is believed to hunt down unwary travelers, leaving behind a gruesome trail of carnage. It’s even speculated that Ithaqua may have been the inspiration behind the Native American legend of the Wendigo, and perhaps even the Yeti.

    This exciting development marks a significant chapter in Hammer Films’ history. Ithaqua is just the beginning of what promises to be a thrilling resurgence for the studio that helped shape the landscape of horror. Stay tuned for more updates on Ithaqua and the future of Hammer Horror!
