Our concepts about vampires have advanced considerably since F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror debuted on the silver display screen, however the first teaser trailer for Robert Eggers’ remake makes it appear to be it’s going to be a moody, haunting return to the undead fundamentals.
Set in Nineteenth-century Germany, Nosferatu tells the story of how an unsuspecting girl named Ellen Hutter (Lily Rose-Depp) turns into the most recent obsession and goal of Depend Orlok (Invoice Skarsgård) — a Transylvanian nobleman and legendary vampire. It’s clear that Orlok already has some extent of affect over Ellen within the teaser as she wonders whether or not the menacing longing she feels is an indication of evil dwelling inside her. However whereas Ellen is considerably sure that she’s being stalked by an otherworldly ghoul, only a few of the folks round her apart from professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz (Willem Dafoe) appear to know simply how a lot hazard they’re all in.
With its pictures of a foreboding shadow reaching throughout the sky, the trailer illustrates how, very like the 1922 Nosferatu (which was an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel), Eggers’ movie will dig into the way in which Orlok’s presence units off a sort of sluggish burn hysteria that makes folks query their beliefs and religion. And whereas it does appear like the movie’s mortal characters will put up a struggle, it’s fairly apparent greater than a handful of them will probably be method out of their depth when Nosferatu hits theaters on December twenty fifth.
