How to Watch Nosferatu at Home Right Now

by

Robert Eggers’ chilling adaptation of Nosferatu can now be streamed at home on digital platforms, as Universal Pictures Home Entertainment revealed on Tuesday. The movie will also hit shelves for purchase in 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD formats on February 18th. Extras packed with the digital and physical releases include an extended version of the film, commentary from Eggers himself, a compilation of deleted scenes, and various behind-the-scenes documentaries.

In the movie, Lily-Rose Depp takes the lead as Ellen Hutter, a woman being pursued by an ancient vampire (Bill Skarsgård) in 19th-century Europe. Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, and Willem Dafoe are also part of the cast. So far, the movie ‘Nosferatu’ has earned over $150 million at the global box office, making it the most successful film in Eggers’ career to date.

As a gamer, let me share some insights on the revamped vampire character: Unlike the smooth, tuxedo-donning Casanova or the brooding, sparkly heartthrob, this creature isn’t your typical romanticized figure. Instead, Eggers aimed to revive the original folklore of the immortal bloodsuckers with his design. The vampire we’re dealing with here is a grim reminder of disease, death, and raw sexuality, devoid of any glamour or softness. This is the chilling creature I wanted to bring back for today’s audience.
