Movie Review Nosferatu

Nosferatu 

Directed by Robert Eggers 

Written by Robert Eggers

Starring Lily Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Willem Dafoe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bill Skarsgard

Release December 25th, 2024 

Published December 3rd, 2024 

Robert Eggers is an exceptionally talented director. He’s a master of tone and production design. He has an unfailing eye for compelling visual storytelling. He’s also weird and willing to bring the weird in his movies, see Willem Dafoe’s entire performance in The Lighthouse. This weirdness is part of Robert Eggers’ charm for me and it’s what is missing from his new film, a remake of F.W Murnau’s seminal silent film, Nosferatu. It’s such a straightforward, everything-you-expect remake of Nosferatu that it lacks a personality of its own. 

Nosferatu stars Lily Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter, a newly married woman who has terrifying dreams of a man who claims that he is coming for her. While she’s troubled by her dreams, she tries to keep a brave face for her new husband, Thomas (Nicholas Hoult). Meanwhile, Thomas has received a promotion at work. He’s to travel into the Carpathian Mountains to finalize the expensive sale of a local rundown castle. An aging Count is eager to move to Wisborg and retire, of course we know that his real motivation just happens to be Thomas’s wife.
