Focus Features’ much-anticipated Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers, will hit theaters on December 25, 2024, marking a return to the iconic vampire tale with a chilling new vision. Known for his atmospheric, historically grounded style, Eggers reimagines the classic 1922 silent horror film by F.W. Murnau, which itself was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. This latest adaptation retains its core themes of horror and obsession, set in 19th-century Germany, as it explores the dark relationship between a young woman haunted by a vampire fixated on her, leaving terror in its wake.

The film features an impressive cast,

including Bill Skarsgård as the titular vampire, known for his previous chilling roles, and Lily-Rose Depp, who plays the young woman drawn into his sinister orbit. Other notable cast members include Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin, Nicholas Hoult, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, adding star power to this Gothic retelling.Produced by Eggers, alongside Chris and Eleanor Columbus, Jeff Robinov, and John Graham, Nosferatu underscores the filmmaker's ongoing collaboration with Focus Features following The Northman (2022). This Christmas release positions Nosferatu as both a holiday season horror treat and a deep, atmospheric piece for genre fans. Eggers’ unique approach promises a fresh yet faithful interpretation of the vampire legend that explores obsession, fear, and horror rooted in historical context.

With the film’s Gothic tone

lush cinematography, and dark narrative, Nosferatu is expected to captivate audiences when it debuts in theaters at the end of 2024.
