Visionary filmmaker Robert Eggers, known for such fascinating works as The Lighthouse and The Witch, returns with an ambitious project: a new adaptation of the masterpiece of German Expressionist cinema, Nosferatu. This remake of F.W. Murnau 's 1922 film modernizes the terrifying story of the vampire count while respecting the disturbing gothic aesthetic of the original. The cast features a number of renowned actors, including Bill Skarsgård(Ça) as the vampire Nosferatu, Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe, already familiar with the myth from his role in L'Ombre du Vampire (2000).
Nosferatu will be released in cinemas from December 25, 2024.
Synopsis: Robert Eggers' NOSFERATU is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and a vampire infatuated with her, causing unspeakable horrors along the way.
Directly inspired by F.W. Murnau's original, Robert Eggers ' Nosferatu revisits the story of a mysterious vampire count from the Carpathians, whose arrival in a small European town sows terror. Bill Skarsgård plays the dark, grotesque Nosferatu, who finds himself irresistibly drawn to a young woman (played by Lily-Rose Depp). The horror builds steadily as the Count spreads plague and death, while the townspeople, unaware of the true nature of evil, try to survive his curse.
This remake of Nosferatu is aimed at horror film fans and aficionados of the genre's classics. With Robert Eggers at the helm, the film promises to be a bold, modern retelling of the vampire myth, while retaining the visual and narrative elements of the Expressionist style. Fans of gothic and horrific works such as Dracula and The Strange Creature from the Black Lake will be particularly drawn to this version. And those who have enjoyed Eggers' previous films, characterized by an oppressive atmosphere and meticulous attention to historical detail, will find Nosferatu a captivating film on the borderline between psychological horror and pure horror.
Robert Eggers 'Nosferatu promises to revive the myth of the vampire count in a dark, atmospheric and visually arresting version. With a talented cast led by Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe, this new adaptation of Murnau's classic could well establish itself as a must-see horror film for years to come. A work that promises to be as terrifying as it is fascinating, in the purest Gothic tradition.
