Hereditary currently dominates Nosferatu 67–33
Domestic horror edges gothic atmosphere — Aster's house outweighs Eggers' castle.
Who do you think should win?
The Verdict
The Graham family's miniatures are the formal key. Annie builds tiny replicas of her own house, her own grief, her own family — she's already trapped inside a scale model of her life before any supernatural force arrives. That self-containment is more disturbing than anything Nosferatu's gothic interiors produce, because it's recognisable. Eggers' candlelit Wisborg is beautiful and dreadful, and it operates at a historical distance that insulates the viewer. You admire the shadow work. You recognise the dollhouse. When the domestic film leads, it's because recognition is a more personal form of dread than admiration. The house you might live in is scarier than the castle you'll never visit.
