Watch a cinematic reimagining ofNosferatu
A BRAND new take on Nosferatu is now on the big screen, helmed by director Robert Eggers. Starring Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp, and Nicholas Hoult, the folk legend comes alive in rural Europe, with the goal to project the mythic terror that the vampire character is known to embody. “The folk vampire is not a suave dinner-coat-wearing seducer, nor a sparkling, brooding hero. The folk vampire embodies disease, death, and sex in a base, brutal, and unforgiving way. This is the vampire I wanted to exhume for a modern audience,” Mr. Eggers said in a statement. Nosferatu is screening nationwide in Philippine cinemas.
