It’s now easier to invite Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård) into your room with the release of Nosferatu on digital. That of Robert Eggers reimagining of the classic silent vampire film quickly swept the Gothic spherewho has enthusiastically adopted the erotic mustache about this historically accurate iteration of the Lord of Transylvania and his quest for Ellen Hutter’s (Lily-Rose Depp) body.
Those who wanted to know more about the night he came will be pleased to learn that the digital release of the film (out today) includes an extended edit. Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult) in Nosferatu Castle, experiencing Orlok’s hypnotic delirium, is a historical act of a film, and we’ll take any extra thick fog ambiance we can get. There better be more beautifully crude cinematic lust and hunger for more looks at Orlok’s glorious decaying face and that irresistible facial hair. Or as Von France (Willem Dafoe) would say, we would like to see things that would make “Isaac Newton return to his mother’s womb!” »
Special features detailed below include the fact that one of the three deleted scenes features the the third nightwhich was initially intended to have a greater physically explosive ending. And we can’t wait to hear more about the making of the film in Eggers’ commentary.
