Horror movies don’t get much more eerily iconic than Nosferatu, the 1922 silent black and white classic that’s considered among the most influential horror movies ever filmed. Now rising writer/director Robert Eggers, best known for the indie historical horror flicks The Witch and The Lighthouse, is releasing a new take on the vampire saga.
Described as a “gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake”, the 2024 Nosferatu reboot stars Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe.
The film’s first teaser trailer was released to coincide with pre-Halloween Spooky Season, but the Focus Features flick doesn’t actually hit theaters until this Christmas. Watch the official teaser trailer below.
