One of the best remakes ever?

Herzog brings a lot to this film and it has it's own unique flavor.

Honestly, I need to see this again. It was atmospheric in parts, but I found it a plodding and largely disengaging adaptation, the weakest of the 70s Herzog movies I’ve seen.

I don't agree... I think it was one of his best. Herzog's films are hardly fast-paced to begin with.

It's a great remake

it's really good.

I agree. Herzog and Kinski had some wonderful collaborations.

Absolutely.

It was much better than the latest remake.

Herzog’s film is an abomination to cinema and features some of the worst acting you will ever come across.

The 2024 film is better in every phase of filmmaking: better acting, better atmosphere, better music, better costumes, better pacing, scarier, better cinematography, and most importantly a better ending than that nonsense vampire riding off on a horse with the sun shining brightly.

Very funny.

There is nothing funny about Herzog, dude has been making shitty movies for 40 years. Pretty sure he never went to film school.

Tough to say one of the greatest remakes ever when we got Terminator Genesis and Red Dawn
