The Nosferatu remake will hit theaters in January, and you can now watch the original version for free.
Here's the translation: "It reviews a bit of the history of cinema before the anticipated release of Robert Eggers' film."
The anticipation for the new version of Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers, is in the air. The film community has expressed its enthusiasm for this remake, especially for the chemistry promised by Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe. Although the film won’t be released until January, horror movie fans have the opportunity to enjoy the original classic, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, which can be viewed for free on platforms like Tubi and The Roku Channel. It is also available on Prime Video for those who have a paid subscription.
The iconic film, which celebrated its centenary in 2022, is considered a fundamental piece of cinematic history. The 1922 masterpiece offers a journey into the past of horror cinema, and while it may not be the usual style for many modern viewers, its relevance and impact on the genre make it worthy of being seen at least once. Eggers’ direction, known for his distinctive style in films like The Lighthouse and The Witch, promises to bring an interesting and contemporary twist to this story.
Nosferatu stands out not only for its innovation as a horror film but also for its silent format. The absence of traditional dialogue is compensated by an orchestral score that heightens the tension, while Max Schreck's performance as the unsettling Count Orlok has left an indelible mark on cinema, having been imitated and parodied numerous times. His on-screen presence is almost hypnotic, creating an air of terror that feels remarkably relevant today.
Moreover, revisiting silent film classics can enrich the appreciation of cinematic art; recent films like The Artist have highlighted the importance of this era. Undoubtedly, the evolution of cinema has allowed works like Nosferatu to be easily and freely accessible, a luxury that film enthusiasts should cherish.
Fans of the horror genre are invited to dive into this story of a vampire that preys on the wife of his real estate agent, intensifying the terror in his wake. The film, an unofficial adaptation of the famous novel Dracula, sets a high standard for vampire cinema, and it is understandable that Eggers wants to revitalize this story for new audiences.
