Focus Features is celebrating Christmas with director Robert Eggers’ (The Witch, The Lighthouse) Nosferatu, and the fresh take on the horror classic has been rated “R” this week.
Nosferatu has been rated “R” by the MPA for…
“Bloody violent content, graphic nudity and some sexual content.”
Bill Skarsgård is playing Nosferatu/Count Orlok in the film, in theaters December 25, 2024.
Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, Willem Dafoe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp also star in Robert Eggers’ big screen resurrection of the Nosferatu legend.
“Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”
Eggers (The Witch, The Northman) directs and he wrote the script. Eggers also serves as a producer alongside Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, Jeff Robinov, and John Graham.
F.W. Murnau directed the original 1922 version of Nosferatu, while fellow German filmmaker Werner Herzog notably directed his own version of the classic tale back in 1979.
The 1922 silent movie followed the vampire Count Orlok, who wants to buy a house in Germany and becomes enamored with the real-estate agent’s wife. It was an unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” which almost led to all copies being destroyed.
