[ NOTES ]
Nosferatu (2024) is available on 4K UHD, 4K UHD Steelbook, Blu-ray and DVD. A beautiful gothic film that, surprisingly, is presented in a 1.66:1 aspect ratio, which means that there are slight black bars on the sides and not on the top and bottom. Regardless, the film looks beautiful and is a great retelling of the classic Dracula rip-off story.
There are two other, notable, theatrical versions of Nosferatu, both of which are available on Blu-ray: The original 1922 film starring Max Schreck and the 1979 film starring Klaus Kinski.
