Why it’s HorroRated

Nosferatu is Robert Eggers making the definitive version of this story: dark, psychosexual, oppressive, and built around the understanding that Orlok is not a metaphor but a physical presence that corrupts everything he approaches. Bill Skarsgård's Count is the performance the film required. A horror film that's going to last.

Synopsis

Robert Eggers's adaptation approaches the Murnau material through a psychosexual lens and shoots in a palette of grey and shadow that gives Orlok's presence a genuinely oppressive weight. Bill Skarsgard's Count is a physical transformation. A horror film that's going to last.
