Succumb to the darkness of Robert Eggers ‘Nosferatu’
‘He is coming.”
Autuer horror filmmaker Robert Eggers takes audiences into the very abyss of darkness with his long-awaited passion project, Nosferatu, an adaptation of the seminal 1922 horror film F. W. Murnau Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror. The new trailer is utterly chilling to the bone.
Watch the all-new trailer for Nosferatu here:
Here’s the official synopsis:
Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.
Building off of the initial fright that audiences witness in the teaser trailer, this official trailer places audiences inside an 19th century Gothic nightmare as the young and beautiful ingenue Ellen Hutter (Lily Rose-Depp) falls under the guise if a devilish evil.. and all suffer in its wake.
The official trailer pulls audiences deeper into the ambience, texture, and dread that Eggers conjures in Nosferatu, and you feel the pull of a sinister force that will consume everything in its path. Its dark and gothic beats are certain to leave your skin crawling, and it’s clear that Eggers has produced a picture that could again follow in F. W. Murnau’s 1922 original and could very well be one of the defining horror films of a new generation.
Sight unseen un the trailer is Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok. And he is literally evil incarnate. Eggers and his team are saving the reveal of Orlock, and all we get is the shadow and whisper of this character whom Nicholas Hoult’s Thomas Hutter describes as ‘the devil’, and who has an infatuation and lust for his new wife Ellen, that will lead to madness, plague and death. Every step of the way you feel Orlock’s unnatural desire to consume Ellen and all she loves dear, and its these actions that leave audiences with a definite chill running down their spines.
