Robert Eggers on Why Nosferatu Is a Great Twisted Christmas Movie
In a recent interview, Nosferatu director Robert Eggers has spoken out about his vampire tale’s potential to be a twisted yet fitting addition to the holiday season. The film, which hits theaters on December 25, brings a dark and haunting take on the classic vampire story.
Eggers emphasizes that he is well aware of the impact that gateway horror films like SpongeBob SquarePants’ vampire-themed episode have had on introducing the public to the world of vampires. In his words, “I appreciate it,” showing an understanding of the cultural significance of such initiatives.
Further discussing the film’s unique take on the Christmas season, Eggers notes that he believes his story will bring a fresh perspective to the genre by combining elements of horror and darkness with the festive atmosphere associated with December.
In an effort to provide readers with a more immersive experience, io9 recently had the opportunity to participate in an early taste of the film’s spooky atmosphere during an immersive experience held in Los Angeles.
