Nosferatu by Bill Skarsgård was deliberately obscured from trailers for Robert Eggers’ new horror filmbecause the director promises a fanged enemy very different from that of Max Schreck in the 1920s. But the latest Count Orlok deviates in other ways from the original – and from fictional vampires in general too.

Warning! As mentioned above, we know that the marketing for Nosferatu has been very… well, mysterious…so if you don’t want to know anything about the movie or its titular villain, it might be best to leave the following until you’ve seen it.
