Everything Revealed By The New Nosferatu Trailer
How Does It Differ From The First Trailer?
Compared to the firstNosferatutrailer, which mostly omitted any plot or character details,the new trailer focuses much more on Lily-Rose Depp’s Ellen Hutter, who was recently married to the real estate agent Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult) and has been experiencing “spells” since childhood. Throughout the trailer, her soul is slowly seduced by Nosferatu, and she eventually succumbs to him. Despite unveiling the best look yet at Bill Skarsgård’s titular vampire, the trailer once again keeps him concealed by only showing dark silhouettes and his shadow.
Nosferatu Is Including 1 Key Detail From The Original Book (That I Find Perfectly Horrifying)
2024’s Nosferatu includes one detail from the original Bram Stoker novel, amplifying the horror that has helped the story stand the test of time.
The newNosferatutrailer focuses much more on this twisted connection between Count Orlok and Ellen Hutter. Early on, it’s one of supernatural obsession as she senses his presence from afar, growing increasingly haunted by his influence. However, as shown in the trailer, Ellen is slowly seduced by him, urging him to “come to me” and at the end of the trailer, she succumbs to him, declaring, “I am ready.” It’s through this twisted, supernatural connection thatdirector Robert Eggerscreates a deep sense of dread and foreboding.
Our Take On The New Nosferatu Trailer
It Cleverly Keeps Count Orlok Concealed
Similar to the one that was released this past summer,this is another effective trailer forNosferatu. It continues to build on the supernatural and obsessive connection between Count Orlok and Ellen Hutter, creating a sense of psychological and atmospheric dread, while still not unveiling the full extent of Bill Skarsgård’s titular vampire. It appears they are wisely saving the first full look for whenNosferatuarrives in theaters on December 25, allowing the fear and suspense to continue to grow in audiences' minds until then.
