NOSFERATU by Robert Eggers is coming this Christmas.
Robert Eggers, known for his unique take on horror, brings a fresh rendition of the classic vampire tale Nosferatu. It will be released in theaters this Christmas. This highly anticipated gothic horror film explores the dark obsession between a haunted young woman and the fearsome vampire fixated on her, unleashing unspeakable terror in their wake.
The film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Friedrich Harding, Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok, Willem Dafoe as Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz, and Nicholas Hoult as Thomas Hutter.

Watch the trailer below!
This film is Eggers’ homage to F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent film.
It was considered a cornerstone of the horror genre. The original “Nosferatu” introduced the eerie Count Orlok, whose sinister presence has haunted audiences for over a century. While Eggers’ version opts for a modern cinematic approach, the influence of Murnau’s iconic film is deeply embedded in its narrative and visual style. Despite the film’s excitement, some fans express disappointment that Eggers’ “Nosferatu” will not be completely black and white. This decision is a missed opportunity to pay direct tribute to the atmospheric visuals of the original. Murnau’s film’s monochrome palette added to its haunting and timeless quality.
However, Eggers is known for his meticulous attention to historical detail and atmospheric storytelling. His approach to “Nosferatu” is expected to bring a fresh, chilling perspective while honoring the spirit of the original. The decision to shoot in color may offer a different kind of visual feast, blending the old-world gothic aesthetic with modern horror elements. “Nosferatu” promises to be a gripping cinematic experience, perfect for horror enthusiasts and fans of classic vampire lore. Prepare to be captivated by this tale of obsession and horror. It should be a fitting tribute to one of the most influential films in horror history.
