Vampire is the word in Nosferatu’s new teaser trailer
It hits theaters on December 25th.
Our ideas about vampires have evolved significantly since F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror debuted on the silver screen, but the first teaser trailer for Robert Eggers ’ remakemakes it seem like it’s going to be a moody, haunting return to the undead basics. Set in 19th-century Germany, Nosferatu tells the tale of how an unsuspecting woman named Ellen Hutter (Lily Rose-Depp) becomes the latest obsession and target of Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård) — a Transylvanian nobleman and legendary vampire. With its shots of a foreboding shadow reaching across the sky, the trailer illustrates how, much like the 1922 Nosferatu(which was an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel), Eggers’ film will dig into the way Orlok’s presence sets off a kind of slow burn hysteria that makes people question their beliefs and faith.
