Summary
In 1838 Germany, Thomas Hutter is sent to the Carpathian mountains to secure the signature of enigmatic nobleman Count Orlok on a property sale in the German city of Wisborg. Thomas leaves his bride Ellen in the care of friend Friedrich Harding and his wife Anna. The young man barely survives the exhausting trip to Europe and stumbles home to find Ellen driven to delirium by a telepathic bond to the Count. Director Robert Eggers' version of the Dracula-inspired horror, starring Bill Skarsgard, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult and Aaron Taylor-Johnson

James Mottram
FW Murnau's classic 1922 riff on Dracula gets a stylish, visually dynamic remake from director Robert Eggers (The Lighthouse). Nicholas Hoult plays Thomas Hutter, a young clerk in 19th-century Germany sent on business to Transylvania where he encounters Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård). The ailing aristocrat boasts an unquenchable bloodlust, one that is soon focused terrifyingly on Hutter's wife (Lily-Rose Depp). Strong support sees Emma Corrin and Aaron Taylor-Johnson play the Hutters' family friends, while Willem Dafoe (who played original Orlok actor Max Schreck in 2000's Shadow of the Vampire) appears as an expert on the occult. Eggers remains faithful to the spirit of the original film, but works wonders with his creative team to craft a masterclass in gloomy, gothic atmosphere. Unrecognisable under prosthetics, Skarsgård is terrific, adding to his litany of fine horror-movie performances (It, Barbarian). Hoult is a sturdy presence, while Depp brings the requisite purity. But really, this is Eggers's baby: you'll be left marvelling at the ominous, shadowy visuals and the creeping sense of dread that envelops the whole movie.
