Bill Skarsgård's string of disappointing movies on Rotten Tomatoes is being rectified by his upcoming acclaimed horror movie - Nosferatu. The upcoming story of Nosferatu is a remake of the horror classic from 1922 and directed by Robert Eggers.
Robert Eggers' highly-ranked movies of the 2010s and 2020s have seen him become one of the more acclaimed horror directors working in Hollywood today, causing many to highly anticipate Nosferatu. ✕ Remove Ads One of the big reasons for this anticipation is the actor portraying the titular character, Bill Skarsgård. Skarsgård's many horror movies and shows have made him somewhat of a modern veteran in the genre, with the actor capable of committing himself entirely to dark roles in a way man cannot. However, recent movies have underperformed critically for Skarsgård despite his performances never dipping, meaning Nosferatu's strong reviews have finally broken the cold streak. Nosferatu Gives Bill Skarsgård His First Fresh Movie On Rotten Tomatoes Of 2024 Two Other Movies Did Not Reach Skarsgård's Usually Lofty Standards Close ✕ Remove Ads As alluded to, Skarsgård tends to have a good eye for a compelling story, often appearing in critically acclaimed movies. Including his breakout performance in Atomic Blonde, Skarsgård had a stretch of 11 movies where only one received a negative critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the other 10 being positively reviewed. However, 2024 changed this by providing two divisive movies for Skarsgård's collection. Skarsgård was praised for his performances in both 2024 movies, but the material around him was deemed inferior. These movies are Boy Kills World and The Crow. The former edged close to becoming a"Fresh"-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes, but was remarked as"Rotten" thanks to its 59% critical approval rating. Then there was the remake of The Crow, which received even poorer reviews with only a 22% critical approval rating. Thankfully, Nosferatu breaks this streak in a resounding fashion, providing Bill Skarsgård with his first fresh movie of 2024 that his performances have deserved. ✕ Remove Ads Nosferatu's Rotten Tomatoes Score Is Better Than Bill Skarsgård's Other 2024 Movies Combined Nosferatu Broke Skarsgård's Streak & Then Some As it turns out, Nosferatu did not only break Skarsgård's streak, but it did so by being one of the best-reviewed movies of the year. This was expected given Eggers' positive track record and eye for horror, with Skarsgård's performance as the titular monster also cause for promise. This promise has certainly been rewarded by Nosferatu, with the film currently holding a 94% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

When combining the approval ratings for Boy Kills World and The Crow, the score sits at 81%. Nosferatu rises above even that with a particularly high critical rating of 94%, proving all the excitement surrounding the 2024 remake to be warranted and returning Skarsgård to the quality of movie many know him to be synonymous with.My List My Favorite MoviesMy Watchlist Success! 8/10 Nosferatu Nosferatu is a remake of the 1922 silent film of the same name from director F.
