Acclaimed director Robert Eggers brings his distinctive style to the classic Nosferatu story, seamlessly blending gothic horror, macabre poetry, and sly hints of camp to create a truly mesmerizing cinematic experience.
Willem Dafoe shines as a disgraced professor with a fascination for the occult, injecting a fresh jolt of vitality into the film's climactic stretch as Eggers accelerates the action in sync with the plague descending on the town of Wisborg.
