We’ll discuss, Bill Skarsgård’s chilling performance as Count Orlok and how it compares to previous iterations of the vampire. Lily-Rose Depp’s portrayal of Ellen and the emotional core she brings to the story. Robert Eggers’ signature direction, blending historical authenticity with unrelenting gothic horror. And, how this adaptation stacks up to the 1922 original and the lasting legacy of Nosferatu.
