Nothing screams Christmas quite like gothic horror. In his first project since 2022’s The Northman, Robert Eggers returns with cinematographer Jarin Blaschke for a remake of 1922’s Nosferatu. The Lighthouse alum Willem Dafoe also returns for what Siddhant Adlhkada’s review describes as “one of the finest, most viscerally exciting works of horror this year.”
