"Nosferatu" (2024), directed by Robert Eggers, is a gothic horror film that reimagines the classic 1922 silent movie. Set in 1838, the story follows Thomas Hutter, a real estate agent who travels from the German town of Wisburg to Transylvania to finalize a property deal with the enigmatic Count Orlok. Unbeknownst to Thomas, Orlok is a vampire who becomes fixated on Thomas's wife, Ellen.
Ellen, portrayed by Lily-Rose Depp, is a young woman plagued by visions and a mysterious past connection to Orlok. As Orlok journeys to Wisburg, he brings with him a deadly plague, decimating the town's population. The narrative delves into themes of obsession, sacrifice, and the supernatural, culminating in Ellen's selfless act to end Orlok's reign of terror.
The film features a notable cast, including Nicholas Hoult as Thomas Hutter, Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok, and Willem Dafoe in a supporting role.
