One of the most fascinating aspects of Nosferatu (2024) is how deeply it connects to the history of vampire cinema. Robert Eggers’ film is a remake of F. W. Murnau’s 1922 Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, which itself was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula. Because the filmmakers of the 1922 movie did not have permission from Stoker’s estate, they changed Dracula’s name to Count Orlok and altered various details. Stoker’s heirs successfully sued, and a court ordered prints of the original film to be destroyed—although surviving copies eventually allowed the movie to become a landmark of horror cinema.

Murnau’s 1922 Nosferatu could not legally use Dracula’s name and characters exactly as written by Bram Stoker, so the filmmakers transformed Dracula into Count Orlok. More than 100 years later, Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu deliberately brings many of those gothic elements back while creating its own interpretation of the vampire myth.
