His much-anticipated remake of German filmmaker F. W. Murnau's 1922 silent horror classic Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror begins with Ellen Hutter (a phenomenal Lily-Rose Depp) crying out from her childhood bedroom for "a guardian angel, a spirit of comfort...anything."

SFGATE columnist Drew Magary was disappointed by the monster in Robert Eggers' adaptation of a silent horror classic.

The director and production designer Craig Lathrop went down a historical rabbit hole to create a convincing setting for the horror film's latest adaptation

As a lifelong Dracula fan fascinated by the way death and sexual desire define vampire mythos, Eggers knew that he wanted his Nosferatu to be as erotic as it was haunting. But Eggers also wanted his Nosferatu to feel like a decidedly feminist, macabre romance, which is why he took some inspiration from Emily Brontë.

Since the beginning of early cinema, Count Dracula has been featured in hundreds of movies. However, the first time audiences were introduced to Bram Stoker’s blood-sucking character was in F.W. Murnau’s unofficial silent film adaptation Nosferatu where the book’s names and details were changed.

Willem Dafoe and filmmaker Robert Eggers talk at-length about where they pulled their inspirations from for 'Nosferatu'. And Eggers describes how he intentionally updated the iconic character for this film.

The intense perfectionist behind "The Northman" and "The Lighthouse" tells IndieWire how he made the vampire tale his own.

In researching his upcoming version of Nosferatu, Robert Eggers included Mel Brooks' Dracula: Dead and Loving It in the mix. The post Robert Eggers took Nosferatu inspiration from Mel Brooks’ Dracula: Dead and Loving It appeared first on JoBlo.
