More than 100 years after FW Murnau's 'Nosferatu' and more than 45 since Werner Herzog took charge of the version starring Klaus Kinski, it will hit theaters on December 25.Nosferatu', a film directed by Robert Eggers, whose dark style certainly lends itself to the somber and indulgent nature of the pointy-eared vampire. After its premiere in the media, we can say that the film has had an incredible reception, with 96% positive ratings after 54 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and an 83 out of 100 on Metacritict according to the 24 reviews written at the time of this article. Going into the critics' comments, we see how, for example, Jordan Hoffman of Fangoria talks about what we are looking at “a classic and perfect horror film.” From The Daily Beast, Nick Schager assures that “Nosferatu is a monument to dark desire and the corruption it generates, and a masterpiece of unholy horror that instantly takes its place alongside the great sacred classics of the genre.” The BBC's Nicholas Barber believes that “what really separates Eggers' Nosferatu from the rest is the depth with which it explores the imagery and themes of vampire lore. There aren't many Dracula films that give you so much to sink your teeth into.” “. As a final comment we are left with that of Ian Sandwell of Digital Spy: “Nosferatu ends up being an excellent combination of the folk horror of The Witch and the larger scale of The Northman. By bringing his passion project to life, Robert Eggers has given us all the best horror movie of the year.” And thus endless very positive comments, which make Christmas Day become a long-awaited day for many movie buffs who love the horror genre. Starring among others Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgard, Aaron Taylor-johnson, Nicholas Hoult and Willem Dafoe, the film revolves around the obsession between a tormented young woman and the terrifying vampire in love with her.
