Oscar Voters, Don’t be Scared of ‘Nosferatu’: Director Robert Eggers Explains His Gothic Horror Vision at First Screening (EXCLUSIVE)


After "Nosferatu" screening, can Robert Eggers' gothic horror film break into the Oscars?

At a special screening Thursday at the Directors Guild of America theater in Los Angeles, Hollywood heavyweights including Chris Pine, Giovanni Ribisi, Casey Affleck and Ruth E. Carter joined an enthusiastic crowd to see Eggers’ haunting vision come to life. Eggers initially created digital sketches to refine Orlok’s iconic features, but it was makeup designer David White who realized the vision, adding haunting touches such as “rotted away” pointed ears. This attention to detail adds authenticity, evident in Eggers’ previous movies such as “The Witch” and “The Northman.” In this case, his team constructed over 60 sets to recreate an evocative, bygone era.
