Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is one of the scariest and most atmospheric movies of 2024, with a mostly original story that draws inspiration from age-old Gothic stories and classic literature. The most blatant influence on Nosferatu is Bram Stoker’s famous novel Dracula, which strongly impacted the 1922 Nosferatu movie and remains a clear source of inspiration for Eggers’ movie. Although Nosferatu’s ending diverges strongly from Dracula’s, the two stories are based on the same ideas and share many of the same character tropes.
