Lily-Rose Depp's Breakout Performance in 'Nosferatu'

Lily-Rose Depp delivers a captivating and intense performance as Ellen in Robert Eggers' 'Nosferatu', showcasing her acting range and potential for future horror projects.

Already hailed by many as the best horror movie of 2024, Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is packed to the brim with star power.
