Extended Cut of ‘Nosferatu’ Adds 4 Minutes to Horror Hit’s Runtime

by

Without a doubt, Robert Eggers’ chilling masterpiece, titled “Nosferatu“, is now available on digital platforms, having been released only a month after its theatrical premiere. Moreover, enthusiasts of this critically acclaimed horror movie can enjoy an extended version of the film. This longer cut of Nosferatu , hinted at by Eggers for the upcoming Blu-ray edition, is now accessible to those who want to add it to their digital collection, starting today.

Today, fans can finally stream an extended edition of the classic film “Nosferatu” online, extending the runtime by four minutes. For those who decide to rent or buy the movie on premium video-on-demand, they’ll also get a taste of typical home release extras such as deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, and other interesting content. However, for those eager to understand what exactly is new in this extended version, they’ll have to find out themselves. Rest assured, the highly-acclaimed remake of “Nosferatu” makes it well worth a second or even a first viewing if you missed its initial theater release – much like the elusive title character himself. Check out the official digital release trailer for “Nosferatu” here.

Robert Eggers’ movie, “Nosferatu,” weaves a chilling narrative about an enamored young woman and a vampire who is both captivating and horrifying, leading to devastation as their obsession unfolds.

‘Nosferatu’ Gets a Physical Release Next Month

Following its debut on digital platforms today, the classic horror film “Nosferatu” will be available on physical media starting February 18, 2025. The 4K/Blu-ray release will feature an extended version of the movie along with additional bonus content. Some may find it surprising that the film is making its way to home video just 30 days after its theatrical premiere, but this trend has become commonplace even with successful box office performances. For example, “Sonic the Hedgehog 3”, the family-friendly sequel to the popular video game movie, is now available for digital purchase from today onwards. A double feature of “Nosferatu” and “Sonic 3” might not be ideal this week due to the stark difference in tone, but the strategy behind it is clear.

As a strong advocate for “Nosferatu”, I believe the opportune timing of its home release could significantly boost its prospects during award season. The film’s groundbreaking technical accomplishments, coupled with Lily-Rose Depp’s acclaimed portrayal of Ellen Hutter, have captured the hearts and minds of viewers worldwide. Although it’s premature to speculate about the major accolades, such as the Academy Awards, it would be a mistake to overlook the exceptional work put forth by everyone involved in “Nosferatu” this year.
