The latest trailer for Nosferatu starring Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgard has arrived! Spoiler alert: it’s got more spook than a haunted house on half-off night.
Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgard are leading the charge in this vampire freak fest, directed by Robert Eggers, aka the guy who probably has bat-shaped chandeliers in his house. Eggers decided it was time to dust off Nosferatu, the classic 1922 film that makes your great-grandpa’s nightmares seem like a trip to Disneyland. And, if you’re into obscure cinema trivia (who isn’t?), it’s worth noting that Werner Herzog gave the film his own twist in 1979. Now, Eggers is giving it another shake with a fresh coat of fear and a side of heart palpitations.
But wait, there’s more! This bloodsucking banquet of a movie also features a star-studded cast that could make a red carpet fangirl faint. Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe are all joining the undead party! It’s like the Avengers, but with significantly more biting.
Now, the plot – brace yourself: Nosferatu is basically a goth romance, but with more screaming and fewer sunset walks on the beach. Lily-Rose plays a “haunted” young woman (probably not the fun kind of haunted) who’s caught the eye of Bill Skarsgard’s terrifying vampire character. Spoiler: his love language is more “ominous lurking” than “romantic dinners,” and their relationship causes some very inconvenient, life-altering horror. So, you know, typical rom-com stuff.
Mark your calendars, because Nosferatu is sneaking into theaters on Christmas Day. Yes, you read that right. Santa brings you presents, and Nosferatu brings you nightmares. So after you unwrap your gifts, why not treat yourself to a cozy evening of blood-curdling terror?
