Focus Features' official synopsis of Nosferatu reads: "Robert Eggers' Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake."

This dark, feral concept of the prince of darkness — the foul-smelling, putrescent incarnation of death, literally rotting and bringing with it vermin, plague and pestilence — is the bedrock of Robert Eggers’ very modern update.

Remaking the immortal silent horror classic, the director of "The Witch" and "The Lighthouse" is finally ready to share his longtime passion project.
