News culture This highly anticipated horror film will keep the surprise until the end: you won’t see the monster until you go to the cinema, its actor confirms!
At the end of the year, horror cinema enjoys great popularity. After “Smile 2”, which amazed us with its wide smile, and “The Substance”, which was about body horror, director Robert Eggers decided to return to one of the staples of pop culture and a true icon of terror: the Vampire! The film Nosferatu cultivates an immense mystery around its creature and will keep its great surprise until the end: you will only see him if you take a seat!
A Christmas that will make you shiver… but with fear: the remake of this cult horror film will be released on December 25th
Is there anything more inappropriate than the release of a horror film on December 25th? ? Yes, this year Christmas Day falls on the same day as the weekly film releases. In the lot we therefore find the remake of this cult horror film from 1922. After a few sporadic reports throughout the year, last June we discovered the first images of… Nosferatu. Under the direction of director Robert Eggers, the feature film aims to bring together a rather extraordinary elite of stars: Bill Skarsgård (The, John Wick 4), Lily Rose Depp (The idol), Nicholas Hoult (The menu, Mad Max: Fury Road), Aaron Taylor Johnson (Kick ass, High speed train) and Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man, The lighthouse).
The development, announced in 2015, will keep the director busy for many years to come, even if he doesn’t just dedicate himself to this film. Since then we have found him primarily at the forefront of the film The lighthouse (already quoted) and The Northman. At the height of his very short filmography, the director is unafraid to tackle a major literary figure and one firmly entrenched in horror and film fantasy. As we get closer to release, we gather more information about filming conditions and it shows a real desire for authenticity. In a recent interview, Robert Eggers stated that they used several thousand real rats, What made the smell on movie sets so crazy?.
The vampire of Nosferatu will remain in the shadows until the cinema release, don’t insist!
In short, we understand that the director does not want to leave anything to chance in order to create a surprise. Furthermore, the unveiling of the very first trailer didn’t spoil one of the film’s big reveals, namely the aesthetics of the vampire played by Bill Skarsgård. The actorwho recently spoke to the editors of Weekly entertainment during a promotional interview for Nosferatu, stated that his on-screen character, namely Count Orlok, will not be revealed before release. Here is an excerpt from his explanations on the election of the director and project management.
I think the best way to discover Orlik is to watch the film for the first time. The film also works on that. He lives in the shadows for a long time.
The message has been sent: Anyone who wants to discover the face of the vampire must take their place at the December 25th release. That being said, the film’s promotional campaign is having a lot of fun with this decision, as the official images shared so far never show the creature’s face. Sometimes hidden behind a curtain, opposite Ellen Hutter (Lily-Rose Depp), sometimes shielded from the slightest ray of light and plunged into darkness… Undoubtedly, the film Nosferatu does everything to fascinate viewers and horror film fans whose mouths have been watering since the release of the first excerpts.
