Nosferatu is a 1922 silent horror classic directed by F.W. Murnau and is a cornerstone of vampire cinema. It was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, with the film just narrowly escaped destruction after Stoker's estate sued over copyright infringement. Despite the legal battles, Nosferatu survived, with its haunting imagery and chilling atmosphere cementing it as a pioneer in the rise of horror cinema. Max Schreck's portrayal of Count Orlok, with its grotesque appearance, clawed hands, and bat-like features, continues to remain one of the most iconic depictions of a vampire. This film is over 100 years old, but it is a staple of the dark and macabre, and it is back with a new remake, which is getting fans excited.
Fast forward to today, Nosferatu is returning to the screen in a highly anticipated remake directed by Robert Eggers (The Lighthouse, The Northman). This remake will start the delightful and horrifying horror icon Bill Skarsgård as one and only Count Orlok and Lily-Rose Depp. The new film promises to reimagine this timeless tale with Eggers' signature atmospheric, wicked storytelling, and meticulous period detail. From rooms filled with hundreds of actual rats to cinematography by candlelight, this film is ready to step into this vampire legend once again and in a new light. Adding to the excitement, Regal Cinemas is releasing a unique collectible that moviegoers can really sink their teeth into with a coffin-themed popcorn bucket!
