‘Nosferatu’ Director Robert Eggers Breaks Down the Erotic Vampire Scenes, Creating an All-Time Scary Villain and the ‘Demented’ Bloody Moment He Had to Cut


"Nosferatu," Robert Eggers' fourth film, is a bold, starry reimagining of F. W. Murnau's 1922 masterful silent film of the same name.

Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgård star as the gorgeous Ellen Hutter and grotesque vampire Count Orlok, respectively, alongside Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin and Eggers regulars Willem Dafoe and Ralph Ineson. The gorgeous and sinister tale builds on the dark historical lore of Eggers’ previous films — 2015’s “The Witch,” 2019’s “The Lighthouse” and 2022’s “The Northman” — and infuses it with drama, desire and an electric erotic undercurrent. And so the question then became, “What does a dead Transylvanian nobleman look like?” That means this complex Hungarian costume with very long sleeves, strange high-heeled shoes and a furry hat.
