Watch the haunting new trailer for Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu

The first proper trailer for this year’s Nosferatu has landed.

Ahead of its arrival in cinemas on Christmas Day, horror fans are getting a fantastic look at Robert Eggers’ highly-anticipated remake of the 1922 F. W.

Starring Bill plus Willem Dafoe, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult and more, it’s described as a “gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake”.
