Standing on the shoulders and nipping at the necks—both dead and undead—of various takes of the count with a high body count, Robert Eggers' Nosferatu feels like a return to a world that was seeing a vampire on screen for the first time. The gothic tale of obsession lines up nicely for Eggers' aesthetic as he brings together the standard elements (a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her) to reconstruct the Ursprache old vampire stories were told in.
