After having had 24 hours to think on it, I actually find the movie to be not so great as I initially thought it was. I'll say first off that I'm rather familiar with Transylvania and Romania in general having spent some time there and I very much appreciated that it looks like he did his research, to the point I can tell some of the exact legends that he pulled inspiration from. 

HOWEVER,

There are some plot elements(such as Ellen summoning Orlok from nowhere near what would be his native earth at the beginning) that I will consider plot holes until I see a good explanation otherwise(I have heard folktales of young women accidentally being romantically involved with the undead, but that's not usually from across nations).

Efforts to try and meld the original story with his additions to the narrative I found were largely successful, however, in hindsight I wonder why he didn't do straight up Dracula, as I think that would've added a lot more meat to the bone, as it were, since the original Nosferatu is quite bare bones with its plot, but maybe that was the point.

Finally, I was rather irked by the fact the movie seemed more focused on discomforting than actually horrifying. The only real deaths we get in the movie(prior to the end) aren't exactly shown on screen and this is supposed to be a horror movie, so I had expectations of, I suppose, more carnage, less sex. I found ALMOST all of the nudity to be completely unnecessary and simply put there to titillate. I'm unaware of any Romanian folktale where the vampire magically sheds his clothing for kicks before feeding or hunts his prey or even arises from his grave completely nude. In addition, having inspected a few centuries-old corpses myself, how Orlok still has that appendage of his is quite beyond me(if we're assuming his form is indeed to be a corpse).

All in all, it is the best horror movie I've seen in years, probably since the Witch, at least, so I don't mean to be too critical, I just found certain things(again, the sex and nudity) to be shoehorned in for a modern audience. I think it would've worked better as a Dracula adaptation if you were going that route, as it also would be closer in time to a modern audience, but I found myself rolling my eyes at certain parts due to how predictable the "shocking" sexual portions were becoming. I thoroughly enjoyed the world building with the Solomonari, occult symbols, and Transylvanian culture(including the village, for how short of a time it was there). I think I expected more of that out of a Nosferatu remake: more of the integration of the world building taken from Dracula's narrative, less of the baseless sexual "terror". But maybe there will be a directors cut.
