Nosferatu is a 2024 American gothic horror film written and directed by Robert Eggers. It is a remake of the 1922 silent film Nosferatu, which was inspired by Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. The film stars Bill Skarsgård as the titular character, Nicholas Hoult and Lily-Rose Depp as the married Hutter couple, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe in the supporting roles.

Development on Nosferatu began in 2015 when Eggers planned to make it his second film, describing it as a passion project, but he eventually opted to delay its production. Skarsgård and Depp were cast as leads in September 2022. Filming took place primarily at Barrandov Studios in Prague, Czech Republic between February and May 2023.

Nosferatu had its world premiere in Berlin, Germany on December 2, 2024, and was theatrically released in the United States by Focus Features on December 25, 2024, and internationally by Universal Pictures on January 1, 2025. It has received positive critical reviews.

Plot

In the winter of 1838, Ellen Hutter lives in the town of Wisborg, Germany, with her husband, Thomas, an estate agent. Hoping to achieve financial security, Thomas accepts a commission from his employer, Herr Knock, to sell Schloss Grünewald, a decrepit stately home in Wisborg, to the reclusive and eccentric Count Orlok. Unknown to Thomas, Knock has arranged this as part of an occult pact with Orlok.

Ellen becomes fearful and asks Thomas to stay with her, confessing that, before their wedding, she dreamed she married Death himself, with only corpses in attendance, and found herself enjoying it. He dismisses her fears and departs for Orlok's castle in Transylvania's Carpathian Mountains, leaving her in the care of a wealthy friend, Friedrich Harding and his wife Anna. Upon arriving in Transylvania, Thomas is shunned by the local Romani peasantry for associating with Orlok. That night, he witnesses them impaling what they claim is a vampire's corpse with an iron stake; the corpse jolts in pain and vomits.

Arriving at the castle the next evening, Thomas is greeted by the impatient and menacing Orlok, who dines with him and insists on finalizing the purchase of Schloss Grünewald immediately. Orlok disregards Thomas's inquiry about the villagers and what he witnessed, and when Thomas cuts his thumb on a bread knife, Orlok mesmerizes him and drinks his blood, revealing himself to be a vampire. The next night, Orlok takes Thomas's locket, which contains a lock of Ellen's hair, and has him sign a mysterious document written in an occult script. Plagued by nightmares, Thomas demands to return home, but Orlok insists he stay until he is no longer ill. Later, Thomas finds Orlok sleeping in his coffin and attempts to kill him with a pick, but Orlok awakens and counterattacks. Fleeing the Count's wolves, Thomas falls into a river while escaping. He is found and nursed back to health by nuns at a nearby church, who urge him to stay and recover, but he rushes back to Wisborg to protect Ellen. Meanwhile, Orlok sails for Wisborg with a crate of grave dirt and plague-infested rats, killing the ship's crew along the way.

Back in Wisborg, Ellen suffers from bouts of sleepwalking and seizures, which Wilhelm Sievers, her doctor, struggles to treat. As her condition worsens, Sievers consults his mentor, Albin Eberhart Von Franz, a brilliant scientist ostracized in Switzerland for his occult beliefs. Von Franz deduces that Ellen is under the spell of the Nosferatu, a demonic, plague-bearing vampire. Friedrich remains skeptical, believing her symptoms stem from anxiety over Thomas's absence. Meanwhile, Knock is institutionalized after a gleeful rampage, and both he and Ellen prophesize Orlok's impending arrival. Sievers and Von Franz realize the two are influenced by the same malevolent spirit. Searching Knock's office, they discover that Orlok is the Nosferatu.

Thomas returns to Wisborg as Orlok's arrival brings the plague. Knock escapes custody, kills a porter, and escorts Orlok to Schloss Grünewald. Orlok appears to Ellen in a dream, taunting her by claiming he tricked Thomas into signing divorce papers. He warns her that she must approve the divorce within two nights and reaffirm the pact she made when she summoned him as a child, or he will kill Thomas and let the plague consume Wisborg. The following night, Orlok kills Friedrich's family to demonstrate his power. A grief-stricken Friedrich dies of the plague while committing necrophilia with his wife's corpse.

Von Franz proposes an expedition with Thomas and Sievers to destroy Orlok's resting place at Schloss Grünewald, but from his occult research, he theorizes that the Nosferatu can only truly be destroyed through the willing sacrifice of a fair maiden. Ellen agrees to Von Franz's plan and psychically summons Orlok to her chamber. The three men unexpectedly find Knock in Orlok's coffin and kill him; Von Franz proceeds to burn the crypt. However, Thomas realizes the expedition was a diversion and rushes back to save Ellen. She allows the Count to feast on her blood and have sex with her until sunrise, which causes Orlok to die and revert to an inanimate corpse. Thomas bursts into the bedroom and holds Ellen’s hand as she dies of exsanguination, having brought an end to Orlok and the plague.

Cast

(Clockwise from top left ) Nosferatu stars Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Bill Skarsgård.

• Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok / Nosferatu: A mysterious nobleman and vampire who lives alone in his ruined castle, who wants to acquire a new property in Germany. He was a black magician in life until the Devil cursed him to preserve his soul in his corpse and become the Nosferatu. Sunlight is lethal to him and he can only inhabit the "cursed land" where he is buried. Based on Bram Stoker's character Count Dracula.

• Nicholas Hoult as Thomas Hutter: A kind, caring and sincere man, who feels the need to take care of his new wife Ellen, whom he loves and respects deeply. He lives in the German city of Wisborg, where he works as a real estate agent and wishes to become a partner in the Knock brokerage, so he will take on any task to get one. Based on Bram Stoker's character Jonathan Harker.
• Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter: A German woman recently married to Thomas, described as a pure woman and an angelic wife who in her lonely youth sought "a guardian angel, a spirit of comfort... anything." This wish opens the door—through a psychic connection—to the Nosferatu, who becomes obsessed with her. Based on Bram Stoker's character Mina Harker.
• Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Friedrich Harding: Anna's husband and a vampire skeptic. Based on Bram Stoker's character Arthur Holmwood; his first name alludes to Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, the director of the original 1922 Nosferatu.
• Emma Corrin as Anna Harding: Friedrich's wife and Ellen's confidant and best friend. Based on Bram Stoker's character Lucy Westenra.
• Willem Dafoe as Prof. Albin Eberhart Von Franz: A controversial Swiss philosopher, expert in alchemy, mysticism and the occult. He is the only character who truly understands the strange psychic connection between Count Orlok and Ellen. Based on Bram Stoker's character Abraham Van Helsing; his first name alludes to Albin Grau, the producer and production designer of the original 1922 Nosferatu, who was similarly known for his interest in occultism.
• Ralph Ineson as Dr. Wilhelm Sievers: A doctor that tries to treat Ellen with conventional "modern" medicine. Based on Bram Stoker's character John Seward; his first name is another allusion to Murnau.
• Simon McBurney as Herr Knock: Owner of the Knock brokerage firm and Count Orlok's devoted servant. He employs Thomas in the purchase and sale of Schloss Grünewald after making a secret pact with Orlok. He suffers from delusions that force him to eat living beings. Based on Bram Stoker's character Renfield.

Production

Development

In July 2015, the remake of Nosferatu (1922) was announced with Robert Eggers writing and directing. Jay Van Hoy and Lars Knudsen were slated to produce the film for Studio 8.^[6] In November 2016, Eggers expressed surprise that the Nosferatu remake was his second planned film, saying, "It feels ugly and blasphemous and egomaniacal and disgusting for a filmmaker in my place to do Nosferatu next. I was really planning on waiting a while, but that's how fate shook out."^[7] During an interview with Den of Geek around the release of The Lighthouse (2019), Robert Eggers revealed that although he had dedicated a lot of time to bringing the iconic horror film into the 21st century, he didn't know when or if it would happen. Despite that, Eggers said, "Look, I spent so many years and so much time, just so much blood on it, yeah, it would be a real shame if it never happened".^[8]

Script

The film is a remake of Nosferatu, following those made by F. W. Murnau in 1922 from a script by Henrik Galeen and by Werner Herzog in 1979. Nosferatu actually came about because Murnau and his producers decided to make a film about Dracula but without using Bram Stoker's novel in order to avoid paying royalties. The producers therefore changed some small details to avoid problems with the copyright holders. The film was loosely based on the book, but the names of the characters were changed. The version is set in 19th century Germany and is based on the same premise as Stoker's Dracula. After the original film's release, a lawsuit was filed against the producers of Nosferatu which resulted in an order to destroy all copies of the film, but some copies survived and were restored after the death of Stoker's widow and the subsequent expiration of the copyright.^{[citation needed]}

"Vampirism and Dracula is the thing that I've been thinking about and looking at for a long time," Eggers said.^[9] "I had read Montague Summers as a teenager, and many other authors of vampire lore, but I think, until I set out to make Nosferatu, I was still too contaminated by the cinematic tropes. And so, you’re infusing things you’re reading with cinematic tropes that aren't there. In doing the research to write this script, I needed to be disciplined to forget what I knew. And then, you start looking at the really early vampire accounts, and you’re like, 'They're not even drinking blood, they’re just strangling people, or suffocating people, or fucking them to death.' And that was really interesting."^[9] The character of Orlok, much like his source Dracula, is an imitation of Vlad the Impaler as told in legend.^[10] Inspired by Orlok being an ancient Romanian count, Eggers made the decision to have him speak a language purported to be Dacian language, an extinct language historically spoken in Dacia, in the film.^[11] However, Dacian, which only has one surviving text,^[12][13] is too poorly documented to be the language spoken in the film. The film also makes a nod to director Victor Sjöström's silent classic, The Phantom Carriage (1921).^[14] Eggers also explored the work of French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot and his findings on so-called hysteria.^[15]

Eggers stated that three of Andrzej Żuławski films—Possession (1981), The Devil (1972), and The Third Part of the Night (1971)—were influences on Nosferatu.^[16]

Casting

Casting was handled by casting director Kharmel Cochrane. In August 2017, actress Anya Taylor-Joy was hired for the film,^[17] but in 2020, Eggers was asked if he and Anya Taylor-Joy still communicated about the project.^[18] In March 2022, it was revealed that singer Harry Styles was briefly attached to the role of Thomas Hutter in the film,^[19] but ultimately dropped out.^[20] Eggers initially considered several talents to play the role of Count Orlok, including Daniel Day-Lewis, with whom he held talks.^[21] For a time, Willem Dafoe was slated to play the role.^[22] Mads Mikkelsen also applied.^[23]

Finally, on September 30, 2022, it was announced that Swedish actor Bill Skarsgård would star in the role of Count Orlok, whom Eggers had also had in mind for the film adaptation years earlier.^[24] However, before he was offered the role of the film's titular vampire, Skarsgård had originally auditioned for and been offered the role of Thomas Hutter.^[25][26]

The addition of actress Lily-Rose Depp, replacing Anya Taylor-Joy, was also announced on September 30, 2022.^[24] Nicholas Hoult confirmed on October 10, 2022, that he joined the cast after several negotiations, to play Thomas Hutter.^[27]

Willem Dafoe, who had previously portrayed Max Schreck/Count Orlok in Shadow of the Vampire (2000), joined the cast after having co-starred in The Lighthouse.^[28] Emma Corrin would join the cast the following month.^[29] Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Simon McBurney, and Ralph Ineson were announced as joining cast at the start of production in late February 2023.^[30][31] Additionally, the film features around 5,000 trained rat actors.^[32]

Filming

Corvin Castle, located in Transylvania, is used as Orlok Castle in the film.

Principal photography began in the Czech Republic on February 20, 2023,^[33] with filming taking place at Barrandov Studios in Prague by March.^[34] Later that month, the crew was shooting on location at the 14th-century Rožmitál pod Třemšínem Castle in Rožmitál pod Třemšínem, Pernštejn Castle^[35] and Prague's Invalidovna complex, a Baroque building registered as a national landmark.^[36] Some exterior shots were captured in Corvin Castle^[37] in Romania.^[38] Cinematographer Jarin Blaschke said that the film was shot in color and was reminiscent of 19th-century Romanticism.^[39] Filming wrapped on May 19, 2023.^[40][41]

To prepare for playing Count Orlok, Skarsgård lost a significant amount of weight and worked with the Icelandic opera singer Ásgerður Júníusdóttir to lower his vocal range and character, and spent up to six hours a day having prosthetic makeup applied. Speaking on his experience, Skarsgård said: "It was like conjuring pure evil. It took a while for me to shake off the demon that had been conjured inside of me."^[25] Hoult said he felt "real fear" when wolves on set had to be restrained before filming chase scenes with him.^[42]

The film makes use of several custom-made props, some of which were kept by the actors after filming. Robert Eggers gifted Lily-Rose Depp the prop of Ellen's locket,^[43] and Nicholas Hoult kept and framed Orlok's fake penis worn by Bill Skarsgård in the film.^[44]

Soundtrack

Main article: Nosferatu (soundtrack)

The score is provided by British-Irish film composer and music producer Robin Carolan. Carolan made his film scoring debut in 2022, working with Eggers on the soundtrack for The Northman; on Nosferatu, he intentionally moved away from the typical horror score, focusing on capturing the story's melancholic and tragic elements.^[45]

With "Goodbye" and "Increase thy Thunders", the first two pieces of music from the film were released by Back Lot Music in late September 2024. The full soundtrack album with a total of 43 pieces of music is scheduled to be released on vinyl and two CDs by Sacred Bones Records and Waxwork Records.^[45] At the helm as conductor is British-born Daniel Pioro.^[45] Carolan and Eggers struggled to perfect their sound, a process marked by their meticulous attention to detail, which Carolan describes as "almost telepathic".^[45]

Release

Nosferatu had its world premiere on December 2, 2024 at the Zoo Palast cinema in Berlin, Germany.^[46] The film was released on December 25, 2024, by Focus Features domestically and Universal Pictures internationally.^[47][48] The film will be shown in IMAX,^[49] as well as in Dolby Cinema,^[50] and in addition to those screens it will receive special showings in 35mm in select theaters, with an example being Grauman's Chinese Theatre in California.^[51]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, Nosferatu was released alongside A Complete Unknown, Babygirl, and The Fire Inside, and was originally projected to gross around $25 million from 2,992 theaters in its five-day opening weekend.^[4] After making $11.55 million on its first day and $7.6 million on its second, estimates were raised to $42 million.^[52]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 87% of 233 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "Marvelously orchestrated by director Robert Eggers, Nosferatu is a behemoth of a horror film that is equal parts repulsive and seductive."^[53] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 78 out of 100, based on 54 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.^[54] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B–" on an A+ to F scale.^[52]

The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney praised the direction, screenplay, and performances, calling the film "exciting, repulsive and beautiful", and added that "It's thrilling to experience a movie so assured in the way it builds and sustains fear, so hypnotically scary as it grabs you by the throat and never lets go."^[55] IndieWire's David Ehrlich similarly praised the direction and singled out Depp's performance before stating that "like all of Eggers' films, of which Nosferatu is the richest and most fully realized, it draws a spellbinding power from the friction it finds between historical social mores and the eternal human thirsts they exist to keep in check."^[56]

Filmmaker David Lowery named it one of his favorite films of 2024, saying "Robert has made a vampire film steeped in woe, but I can only imagine how utterly overjoyed he was to be making it. Who knows if he was actually laughing behind the camera, but it's pretty hard not to hear him all the same ­— and this joy, imagined or not, is vicarious."^[57] Filmmaker Sean Baker similarly praised the film writing "It's going to be very hard to beat NOSFERATU for my fav[orite] film of the year. Must see on the big screen. Eggers's direction is masterful and Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult deserve best actor noms. Glorious cinematography, score, production design and editing. My God this is an incredible film."^[58]
