It’s more conventional than those films, I guess because it’s a more direct adaptation of an existing story. I think whether you prefer it probably has some connection to how much you enjoy his direction. He seems to have more free reign when he is directing for something he has written himself, which leads to more experimentation. For the record, I agree with you - there were elements of Nosferatu that were outstanding but as a whole those other films you mentioned are superior.
I watched Robert Egger’s Nosferatu. It was good, not as good as The Witch or The Lighthouse IMO, but still good.
