Robert Eggers’ gothic horror movie Nosferatu adapts a familiar vampire tale but infuses a new level of skin-crawling dread into its narrative, which ends with a singular moment of simultaneous violence and desire. The original Nosferatu is an interpretation of Bram Stoker’s gothic horror novel Dracula, and the similarities between the overarching plots are very obvious for those familiar with the novel. However, director Robert Eggers chose to adapt Nosferatu due to the simplicity of its narrative and the emphasis on a female character as the heroine.
