Nosferatu is hailed as one of the first horror films of all time upon its 1922 release. With a few remakes between now and then, we get a much-deserved remake of the silent film classic at the end of the year.

Robert Eggers, who has terrified us in ways that have felt both hyper-real and out of a fever dream, has teased us with some remarkable stills of the movie to hold us over till a trailer drops. Nosferatu is the classic retelling of a Transylvania vampire who stalks a haunted young woman in Germany during the 19th century.

The Perfect Cast for a Horror Film
Robert Eggers sure knows how to create an ensemble for a movie of this magnitude. Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and playing the utterly terrifying Count Orlock is Bill Skarsgard. All the stills of the movie tease Skarsgard’s appearance as Count Orlock, as we see his iconic long fingers and long nails but not his face. One can imagine that the film’s first trailer will give us a first look.
