It’s been over 100 years since F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu — and over 45 since Klaus Kinski donned the pointy ears. 2024 seems as good a time as any for the return ofhas had his hand at eerie, unsettling scares that creep under your skin in films like The VVitch and The Lighthouse.
Eggers readapts that story, based originally on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, with modern technology, dialogue, and a fresh perspective. Although Thomas Hutter remains an integral part of the story, there is a lot more consideration placed upon his wife, Ellen , who is the subject of much of the horrors Nosferatu inflicts.
Nosferatu is a visually arresting experience that fills viewers with cold, unmistakable dread. The performances are a significant part of what sells the terror. Hoult has turned in many excellent performances this year in films like Juror #2, The Order, and even The Garfield Movie. This is another notch on his belt, as he brings an understated peril to the doomed protagonist.
Dafoe is an interesting casting choice, as he once played Nosferatu in his Oscar-nominated role in the 2000 film Shadow of the Vampire, which was based on the making of the original 1922 film. He’s excellent, as is the rest of this stellar cast. The characters are always at the whim of Nosferatu, rarely ever getting a break from his wrath. Once the story truly starts, it never stops.
