Nosferatu Is So Cozy, Actually


Am I the only one who finds Wisberg a suitable spot for a snowy romantic getaway? (Ignore the plague.)

Knock, who’s all red flags when we first see him, is secretly carrying out the will of Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgard, goblinesque), a.k.a Nosferatu, who wants to reunite with the woman he lusts for, who happens to Thomas’s new bride Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp, vindicating herself of The Idol). For a good deal of Nosferatu, Thomas deposits Ellen with close buds Friedrich (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Anna Harding (Emma Corrin), who live in an opulent estate with their two children, and each time the movie cuts to their glorious manse all I can really think about is swaddling up in a blanket by one of the building’s many crackling fireplaces. As the ghoul — wearing fuzzy layers — coerces innocent Thomas into bad contract law, my eyes were constantly distracted by how enchanting the dust looks floating around in the dim light of the fireplace.
