A few months ago, legendary director and cinematic gatekeeper Martin Scorsese shared a recommendation for the horror film I Saw the TV Glow. Now, Scorsese has taken a moment to hype up another horror film, and this time it was The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman writer/director Robert Eggers‘ remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu.

An unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the original Nosferatu has the following synopsis: In this highly influential silent horror film, the mysterious Count Orlok (Max Schreck) summons Thomas Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) to his remote Transylvanian castle in the mountains. The eerie Orlok seeks to buy a house near Hutter and his wife, Ellen (Greta Schroeder). After Orlok reveals his vampire nature, Hutter struggles to escape the castle, knowing that Ellen is in grave danger. Meanwhile Orlok’s servant, Knock (Alexander Granach), prepares for his master to arrive at his new home.

Focus Features’ R-rated gothic horror movie Nosferatu has crossed a significant milestone at the worldwide box office. However, the movie has dropped out of the top five domestic charts and has reportedly slowed down at the box office in the United States as it is available on digital platforms now. Keep scrolling for more.

Recently, the movie surpassed the global haul of Nicolas Cage’s Longlegs’ $126.94 million as the third highest-grossing horror film of 2024. It is behind A Quiet Place: Day One and Alien: Romulus. It has earned multiple nominations at the 97th Academy Awards, including Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. The film features an exciting cast comprising Bill Skarsgard, Nicholas Hoult, and Lily-Rose Depp in the lead roles, along with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe in supporting roles.

Exclusive: Zygi Kamasa, the veteran film executive who launched True Brit Entertainment 15 months ago, is on a scary mission to bring back Britain’s horror film heritage. Today, he reveals that his company will release period shocker The Dreadful starring Game of Thrones duo Sophie Turner and Kit Harington and Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden in the UK.

“I feel very much that I want to go further in trying to encourage the UK industry to make more horror movies because horror still works consistently well in cinemas,” Kamasa insists, citing the success of last year’s occult horror Longlegs.

But Longlegs, and many other recent horror movies, were American made.

“If we’re going to do horror in this country, go back. I mean we were dominating horror in the Sixties and Seventies, the Hammer horror and all that.

Blu-ray.com is reporting that Universal Home Entertainment has announced that not only is Nosferatu getting a 4K Uhd Blu-ray release, but there will be an extended cut of the film as well. The Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray physical media items is scheduled to hit retailers on February 18.

The description reads,

“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. Starring Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, and Willem Dafoe.”

Robert Eggers' Nosferatu proved to be a huge success for Focus Features, and the acclaimed filmmaker is staying with the studio - and firmly in the horror genre - for his next project.

THR reports that Eggers is set to helm Werwulf, which he also co-wrote with fellow The Northman scribe Sjón.

Just in case the title didn't give it away, this will be a werewolf movie. Plot details are few and far between, but THR notes that the story will be set in 13th century England. "The script also features dialogue that was true to the time period and has translations and annotations for those uninitiated to Old English."

It remains to be seen if the werewolf will be rocking a moustache.

Apparently, Eggers was initially planning to shoot the film in black and white, before deciding against it.

Eggers and Sjón will also produce alongside Focus Features. Chris and Eleanor Columbus,...

Continuing its relationship with filmmaker Robert Eggers, Focus Features will produce and finance his next film, “Werwulf,” according to an insider with knowledge of the project.

The film will be released in North America on Christmas Day, 2026. “Werwulf” follows the release of the tremendously successful film “Nosferatu,” which quickly became the biggest non-sequel Horror opening in 2024.

“Werwulf” is written by Eggers and Sjón (“The Northman”), with Eggers set to direct. Both Eggers and Sjón will produce alongside Focus Features, with Maiden Voyage’s Chris and Eleanor Columbus executive producing.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, which first reported the news, “while details are scarce, sources say the story is set in 13th century England.”

“Nosferatu” is an adaptation of the 1922 silent movie classic, itself a loose adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” with a starry cast that includes Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe.

“Nosferatu” is a horror movie starring Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Willem Dafoe. It is written and directed by Robert Eggers.

In the realm of remakes, “Nosferatu” emerges as a striking homage to F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic, “Nosferatu”. Directed by Robert Eggers, this modern interpretation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” manages to walk the tightrope between reverence for its source material and contemporary cinematic sensibilities.

Eggers’ vision is steeped in the aesthetic of German expressionism, a bold choice in today’s film landscape. The movie’s visual language is a feast for the eyes, with stark contrasts, distorted perspectives, and haunting shadows that echo the original’s iconic imagery. This stylistic approach serves as both a nod to film history and a refreshing departure from conventional horror cinematography.

Many reviewers have applauded Robert Eggers’ direction, calling the movie both thrilling and visually striking. Specifically, Depp’s performance, noting that her role added to the film’s “spellbinding power,” and praised how the film explores the tension between historical mores and timeless human desires.

Nosferatu has broken a major horror movie record by surpassing Longlegs at the box office. The latter movie, which was directed by Osgood Perkins, is a smash hit serial killer thriller starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage that grossed $127 million worldwide against a slim budget of less than $10 million after debuting on July 12, 2024. The Nosferatu release came much later, as the Robert Eggers remake of the iconic 1922 silent vampire film of the same name debuted on Christmas Day, becoming the highest-grossing new release over the holiday weekend.

Per Variety, as of Sunday morning, Nosferatu is projected to close out its third weekend in theaters with a 3-day domestic gross of $6.8 million in North America and $13.7 million internationally. This will bring its cumulative global box office total to $135 million, surpassing Longlegs' worldwide gross by $8 million. This officially makes the Eggers movie the highest-grossing non-sequel, non-prequel horror movie of 2024, as it had...

Halloween must be gone, but people always enjoy a good horror on the big screen. Thus, Nosferatu is having a good time at the US box office. The film has surpassed two of the most popular horror flicks of 2024, Smile 2 and Longlegs. Scroll below for the deets.

Parker Finn directed Smile 2 debuted in the US with $23 million, which was higher than the original Smile’s debut of $22.6 million in 2022. However, the sequel earned less than the first film in its lifetime. Meanwhile, Longlegs by Osgood Perkins became the highest-grossing independent film of 2024. It was also the second highest-grossing R-rated horror released in 2024. The movie collected $74.34 million in North America, which has now been surpassed by the vampire movie.

‘Nosferatu’ (2024) is a gothic horror movie directed by Robert Eggers. It’s a remake of the 1922 silent film “Nosferatu,” which was inspired by Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula.” The film stars Bill Skarsgård as the vampire Count Orlok, with Nicholas Hoult and Lily-Rose Depp playing a married couple, the Hutters. Other actors include Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe.

The movie became an unexpected holiday hit. It premiered in Berlin on December 2, 2024, and was released in the U.S. on December 25, 2024, and internationally on January 1, 2025. The film was expected to make around $25 million in its opening weekend, but it did much better than that.

As of January 5, 2025, ‘Nosferatu’ has made $69.4 million in the U.S. and Canada, and $31 million internationally, totaling $100.4 million worldwide. The film was released alongside other movies and was originally expected to earn $25 million in its opening weekend.

However, after a strong...

Robert Eggers' Nosferatu remake is a masterclass in honoring gothic horror tradition. One of many nods to the 1922 Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is having Knock (played by Simon McBurney in 2024) exclaim: "The blood is the life!" This is a great homage to the German expressionist classic, in which Knock similarly says "Blood is life!" It also has literary and cultural origins which explain the terror of vampire lore used in Nosferatu.

On the surface, it may seem like an obvious reference to the essential commonality in vampire lore: a vampire drinking blood to sustain their vitality in their immortal life. However, the background of Bram Stoker's original novel and real history makes the quote multilayered and all the more satisfying. Its potency in Eggers' adaptation is part of what has made vampires truly gothic again, contributing to the relief of Nosferatu's great box office success following the woefully under-appreciated The Northman.

Nosferatu has hit new heights at the domestic box office. The 2024 Robert Eggers vampire movie is a remake of F. W. Murnau's iconic German expressionist silent film of the same name, which is an unlicensed adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula that debuted in 1922. The Nosferatu release kicked off on Christmas Day 2024, becoming the highest-grossing of the four new releases that weekend, beating out the Timothée Chalamet-led Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, the Nicole Kidman erotic thriller Babygirl, and the boxing drama The Fire Inside.

Per Deadline, as of Sunday morning, the Nosferatu box office is projected to add a 3-day total of $13.2 million by the end of its second weekend in domestic theaters. This will bring its cumulative domestic total to $69.4 million, which exceeds its reported $50 million budget by nearly $20 million. That total sees it surging past the domestic grosses of Terrifier 3 ($53.8 million) and...

Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series spotlighting the scripts behind awards season’s most talked-about movies continues with Nosferatu, Focus Features’ gothic horror from writer-director Robert Eggers. Set in 1830s Baltic Germany, Eggers reimagines the tale with Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok, a fictional character who originally appeared in the 1922 silent film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror directed by F.W. Murnau.

Focus Features released the film on Christmas Day, since becoming Eggers’ highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office with $53 million and counting. It picked up five Critics Choice nominations among its recognition this season among critics groups.

In Eggers’ Nosferatu, estate agent Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult) travels to Transylvania for a fateful meeting with Orlok, a vampiric prospective client. Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp), Hutter’s new bride, is left under the care of their friends Friedrich and Anna Harding (Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Emma Corrin) in his absence. Plagued by visions...

Robert Eggers’ vampire horror Nosferatu opens in 624 UK-Ireland cinemas this weekend through Universal, having made an excellent start since New Year’s Day.

Nosferatu took £1.3m on Wednesday, January 1 from 574 sites at a £2,247 location average; with a further £870,000 on Thursday for £2.2m already banked in previews.It could become Eggers’ highest-grossing film by the end of the weekend, ahead of the totals of 2022’s The Northman(£4.7m), 2020’s The Lighthouse (£1.4m) and 2016’s The Witch (£1.2m).

The £1.3m Wednesday figure was the highest-grossing single day for a horror title in the territory since Disney’s Alien: Romulus opened with £1.4m...

Nosferatu has become the first Robert Eggers movie to reach a major box office milestone. Written and directed by Eggers– whose past films include The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman – his new remake of the 1922 silent film follows a similar tale of obsession involving a tormented young woman and the fearsome vampire infatuated with her, causing horror to unfold. Nosferatu's cast includes Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe.

Now, a week after its theatrical release on December 25, Nosferatu has become the first Robert Eggers movie to reach a major box office milestone. According to Deadline, Nosferatu has passed $50 million domestically, the first Robert Eggers movie to do so. Currently, its box office cume breaks down to $53 million domestically and $3 million internationally for a worldwide total of $56 million.

Nosferatu has been playing in US theaters since Christmas Day, but Robert Eggers' remake of the classic horror tale only opened in other major markets on January 1. As a result, we're now beginning to see more leaked screenshots find their way online.

Thanks to several social media posts, we have our best look yet at Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok, and the It star really is unrecognizable as the ancient vampire.

This new take on the character has proven to be divisive, but Eggers has previously explained that he wanted to change up the classic creature design for something that more closely resembled an "undead nobleman."

The filmmaker revealed his thought process behind the vampire's look during a recent interview with Deadline.

“What would a dead Transylvanian nobleman actually look like? That was basically where I started from, and I wanted to still acknowledge Max Schreck’s makeup design.”

Nosferatu 8/10

Nosferatu is a remake of the 1922 silent film of the same name from director F. W. Murnau. Robert Eggers is crafting his own version of the story for the reboot as writer and director, with Bill Skarsgård stepping into the shoes of Count Orlok. Nosferatu tells the tale of a young woman who falls victim to a vampire utterly infatuated with her.

Release Date  December 25, 2024Runtime  132 MinutesGenres  Mystery,...

In Robert Eggers' Nosferatu, Bill Skarsgård takes on the title role of ancient vampire Count Orlok, and it was far from the actor's first time undergoing a twisted transformation to play a monstrous villain.

Skarsgård is, of course, best-known for playing Pennywise the Clown in the It movies, and is set to return as the demonic entity in HBO/Max's Welcome To Derry spin-off series, which director Andy Muschietti is co-writing and producing.

During an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Skarsgård was asked if he'd spoken to Muschietti about the planned Dcu Batman movie, The Brave and the Bold. He said that he had, but wasn't "sure where he's at with it," and didn't give any indication that he'd actually talked about a potential part.

Before Bela Lugosi created the image of an elegant Dracula in Todd Browning’s film Dracula, F.W. Murnau made the brilliant silent film Nosferatu, the first film adaptation of Bram Stoker’s eerie novel. Stoker’s estate refused to let the legendary German director use the book’s title but Murnau made the film anyway, renaming the vampire Count Orlok and re-setting the latter part of the story in Germany rather than England. Director Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is an outstanding film that both honors and recreates Murnau’s great classic, while also adding a modern horror edge as well.

Fans of Murnau’s incredible silent horror film will delight in Eggers’ new Nosferatu, which faithfully recreates several of the striking scenes in the original. Nosferatu is visually astounding,...

Robert Eggers' Nosferatu movie sets a Rotten Tomatoes audience score record for the vampire adaptation. The movie was written and directed by Eggers as a remake of the silent film, which was itself an unauthorized adaptation of Dracula from 1922. The new horror film follows a similar story of a tormented young woman and the fearsome vampire infatuated with her, causing horror to unfold. Nosferatu's all-star cast includes Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe.

Nosferatu Box Office (North America): Boxing Day Update ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

The Robert Eggers-helmed Nosferatu has finally opened in the theatres and is making noise at the US box office despite facing multiple biggies. It features an ensemble cast and was released on Christmas Day. The film is predicted to earn one of the top five spots at the domestic box office. Scroll below for the deets.

It is a remake of the 1922 silent film of the same name based on Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula. It features an ensemble cast comprising Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe. The film has received exciting ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, a solid 86% on Tomatometer and 76% on Popcornmeter.

The critics praised the movie, saying, “Marvelously orchestrated by director Robert Eggers, Nosferatu is a behemoth of a horror film that is equal parts repulsive and seductive.

Nosferatu's take on Count Orlok is a far cry from the vampire's classic big screen appearance. However, a drastic reinvention was expected with filmmaker Robert Eggers eager to put a new spin on the classic horror story.

When Nicholas Hoult's Thomas Hutter discovers the Count resting in his sarcophagus, Orlok is fully revealed; Bill Skarsgård dons a bushy mustache, has a skeletal face, and patches of decaying skin all over his body.

Skarsgård, who transformed into Pennywise the Clown in the It movies, embraced the prosthetics and makeup needed to bring Count Orlok to life on screen in the remake but admits they were a challenge at first.

"I was worried that I couldn't perform through it, that it would feel like giant prosthetic pieces, and I couldn't come alive through that," Skarsgård told Entertainment Weekly. "There was definitely a stage when they hadn't put everything on, where I was like,...

The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman writer/director Robert Eggers‘ remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here) made its way out into theatres this week. We all saw the first reactions to the film that dropped online a while back (they were very positive), and JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray described the film as a new horror classic in his 10/10 review – and now it’s time for you to share your opinions on the film. What did you think of Nosferatu? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

An unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the original Nosferatu has the following synopsis: In this highly influential silent horror film, the mysterious Count Orlok (Max Schreck) summons Thomas Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) to his remote Transylvanian castle in the mountains. The eerie Orlok seeks to buy a house near Hutter and his wife, Ellen...

Nosferatu is now playing in theaters and, along with Count Orlok's unforgettable new look, the movie's ending is generating a great deal of discussion among horror fans. 

In the original 1922 classic, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, Ellen Hutter learns that only a pure-hearted woman can destroy a vampire. She must freely offer her blood to the monster and only then can it be killed. After she lures Count Orlok into her home, he feeds on Ellen in her bed and is so distracted that, when the sun rises, he's left with no time to hide and is destroyed in a puff of smoke. Ellen dies from her wounds.

In Robert Eggers' Nosferatu, armed with Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz's knowledge, Ellen once again decides to enact a...

In 1922, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror premiered. This silent movie was later colorized with music added. Here it is 102 years later, and we have a 2024 reinterpretation in theaters now. The new Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers, is based on the screenplay for the 1922 film, which itself was a thinly veiled adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula with the names changed.

That means you may well be familiar with the basic shape of the story, and the main players. Bill Skarsgård makes a great Count Orlok in all his vampiric glory: hulking, decrepit, and ever commanding. Lily-Rose Depp, Johnny Depp’s daughter, portrays Ellen Hutter, the natural-born supernaturalist whom the Count is obsessed with. Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult) is the young lawyer sent to Count Orlok's castle for a visit he'll never forget.

Rose-Depp and Simon McBurney, who plays Thomas Hutter’s employer and vampire familiar Knock, do an excellent...

Plot: A young woman is haunted by a terrifying vampire who’s become infatuated with her and will go to any lengths to be with her.

Review: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Robert Eggers is one of the most exciting directors working nowadays. Having made a huge impression with The Witch and The Lighthouse, Eggers’s The Northman was his biggest, most ambitious movie to date. It perfectly married his aesthetic to a larger canvas that delivered for a broad audience but never felt compromised. The fact that The Northman wasn’t seen more widely on the big screen is a tragedy, but with Nosferatu, Eggers seems on the cusp of a major hit that should open him up to an even bigger audience.

One thing’s for sure – there’s not going to be anything else like it playing in theaters this holiday season.

An undead fiend lusts after a distraught waif in Nosferatu, Robert Eggers’s languid retelling of one of horror cinema’s most influential texts. Thomas (Nicolas Hoult) is an ambitious and newly married real estate agent eager for promotion when his boss, Herr Knock (Simon McBurney) offers him an opportunity that he cannot refuse. Travel to Transylvania to close a monster deal with the eccentric Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård), and he’ll be set for life. The only downside is that he’ll have to leave behind Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp), his blushing bride who happily dotes after him, but they see the chance to build something greater for themselves and accept the challenge. Little do they know that Orlok’s has ulterior motives that will put their very existence in...

This article contains full spoilers for "Nosferatu."

The concept of fate, a predestined path which has been laid out for each of us, is a terrifying one. We all have (or at least appear to have) free will, and we all cherish freedom as a precious, enviable, coveted thing. Thus, fate is the antithesis of all our hopes and desires, a monolithic force that we are powerless to change or stop. This is why the concept tends to be de-emphasized in our culture, with everything from our aspirations as children to our goals in adulthood being put in the context of free will: we're told that all we want is potentially within our grasp, that dreams can be achieved, and that paths can be changed. Fate, then, is typically invoked for purposes of a scapegoat when things go wrong. Even with that perspective, it's never seen as a force of immovable doom,...

Nosferatu Movie Details and Cast(Photo Credit – YouTube)

Renowned filmmaker Robert Eggers is now directing Nosferatu, which has been on his docket since 2015. Eggers, who collaborated on The VVitch and The Lighthouse, will now move on to Nosferatu—these monumental ventures, the ride exciting to the iconic fangs’ fans.

Inspired by Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula, Nosferatu was among the very first cinema offerings concerning vampires. Originally released in 1922, it was remade in 1979 into Nosferatu the Vampyre, directed by Werner Herzog. Eggers, however, is set to remodel this ancient horror movie into the 21st century, to the vexation of any last remaining descendant of Bram Stoker.

Release date of Nosferatu

Nosferatu had its world premiere on December 2, 2024, at the Zoo Palast cinema in Berlin, Germany. The film is set to be released on December 25, 2024, by Focus Features domestically and Universal Pictures internationally. The film will be seen in IMAX and Dolby Cinema,...

This week, the world finally gets to meet “Nosferatu” … again.

Writer/director Robert Eggers’ vampire adventure is an adaptation of the 1922 silent movie classic, itself a loose adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” with a starry cast that includes Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe.

It follows many of the same beats as “Dracula,” with Eggers’ typical attention to historical detail and sumptuous camerawork (from the filmmaker’s regular cinematographer Jarin Blaschke).

TheWrap sat down with Eggers and Dafoe about their latest adventure on “Nosferatu,” which marks their third collaboration after 2019’s “The Lighthouse” and 2022’s “The Northman.” Learn about their approach to the material, what made this version of the character new and whether or not they’ll continue their collaboration.

Let’s go back to your first collaboration – “The Lighthouse.” Was there a sense that this would...

Nosferatu arrives in theaters a couple of days from now but an alleged first look at Bill Skarsgård's Count Orlok has just leaked online and...well, something tells us this will be divisive.

It's been said on several occasions that Skarsgård's version of the iconic vampire would be quite a bit different from what we've seen on screen before and that's definitely the case here. A little more grounded perhaps, this Orlok has a bushy moustache and what seems to be rotting flesh on his face.

His visage is undeniably terrifying, and while the shot being shared on social media isn't the clearest, this is bound to only increase interest in what's in store for us when the vampire is revealed in all his glory in theaters over the holidays.

While we can't say for sure that this is the real deal, accounts sharing it on X have been hit by copyright strikes.

The wait is nearly over, as Robert Eggers' Nosferatu is coming to theaters this Christmas. A perfect option for those who are looking for some gothic horror this holiday season, I'm excited for Daily Dead readers to see Eggers' new vision of the classic vampire tale for themselves. So much care was put into the film, from the performances to the meticulously crafted sets, practical effects, haunting score, and more. Everything came together so perfectly for this film, and having caught an early screening last month, I'm dying to revisit Nosferatu myself this week.

During a recent press day, I caught up with Robert Eggers, Willem Dafoe, Lily-Rose Depp, and Emma Corrin to talk about their experiences making the film. From Robert Eggers' love of Nosferatu and watching it on VHS to inspirations for the look of Count Orlok, the on-set experiences, and more, take a look at my interviews below.
