January 3, 2025 A chilling and mesmerizing vision of horror is set to unfold as Robert Eggers brings his long-awaited adaptation of Nosferatu to the big screen. Arriving in theaters on January 10, 2025, this gothic reimagining of the classic vampire legend promises a spellbinding cinematic experience blending terror, obsession, and haunting beauty.
Produced by Universal Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery, Nosferatu boasts an extraordinary ensemble cast, including Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe. With Eggers’ signature visual style and atmospheric storytelling, the film is set to be a gothic masterpiece that lingers in the minds of audiences long after the credits roll.
A Tale of Obsession and Terror
At the heart of Nosferatu is Ellen Hutter (Lily-Rose Depp), a young woman ensnared by the sinister presence of Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård), whose dark obsession with her ignites a terrifying chain of events. As her husband, Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult), unravels the chilling truth, he must race against time to save his beloved from Orlok’s grasp. Adding to the film’s eerie atmosphere is Willem Dafoe as Albin Eberhart Von Franz, a shadowy figure whose presence deepens the film’s sense of dread and foreboding.
Robert Eggers’ Vision
Renowned for his immersive period storytelling in The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman, Eggers describes Nosferatu as his most personal film yet. Reflecting on his journey with the project, he shares:
“My adaptation of Nosferatu is my most personal film. A story, not engendered by me, but one that I have lived with, within, and dreamed about since childhood. It is embedded with many of my own memories and personal experiences amplified and transposed to 1830s Baltic Germany. It took time to get there, to understand the fascination.”
With its gothic aesthetics, chilling performances, and Eggers’ meticulous craftsmanship, Nosferatu is poised to be one of 2025’s most unforgettable cinematic experiences.
Mark your calendars for January 10, 2025—Nosferatu will leave you entranced in its dark, hypnotic spell.
