PETA Plans Protest at ‘Nosferatu’ Screening: Rats ‘Didn’t Cause the Plague!’
PETA plans to protest at a "Nosferatu" screening over the film's portrayal of rats.
The only ‘pests’ moviegoers need to be concerned with are directors who subject animals to the chaos and confusion of a film set, and PETA encourages everyone to see through these shameful stereotypes and give rats the respect they deserve.” PETA points out that rats form close bonds with their families and friends, enjoy playing and wrestling, and even giggle when tickled—and are less likely than dogs or cats to catch and transmit parasites and viruses. The film is Eggers’ reimagining of the 1922 silent German horror classic “Nosferatu,” depicting a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman played by Lily-Rose Depp and the terrifying vampire Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgard) infatuated with her.
