Acclaimed horror director of ‘The Witch’ and ‘The Lighthouse,’ Robert Eggers returns with a new take on the classic gothic horror film, ‘Nosferatu.’ Previously done by F.W. Murnau in 1992’s ‘Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror’ and by Werner Herzog in 1979’s ‘Nosferatu the Vampyre,’ Eggers’ version of the vampire will be played by Bill Skarsgård (It, The Crow).

Alongside Skarsgård, ‘Nosferatu’ stars Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe.

Release Date

Directed by Robert Eggers, ‘Nosferatu’ opens in theaters on December 25, 2024.

Synopsis

Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.

“I’ll say that Bill has so transformed, I’m fearful that he might not get the credit that he deserves because he’s just… he’s not there,” said director Robert Eggers on Bill Skarsgård’s performance as the vampire in an interview with Empire. “He felt like honoring who had come before him. It’s all very subtle – But I think the main thing is that he’s even more a folk vampire. In my opinion he looks like a dead Transylvanian nobleman, and in a way that we’ve never actually seen what an actual dead Transylvanian nobleman would look like and be dressed like.”
