Nosferatu is a remake of the 1922 silent movie directed by F.W. Murnau, which itself was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. The original Nosferatu has been hailed as a masterpiece of German Expressionism, known for its eerie atmosphere and striking, shadow-heavy visual style. Eggers aims to capture the essence of early horror cinema while bringing modern sensibilities and a high-caliber cast to this classic story.
