The latest Nosferatu trailer still doesn’t show us the damn vampire

It is a total very good thing The Nosferatu‘s marketing team is being so damn reserved about the character design of their titular bloodsucker, but Come on. We long for a little peak; even a half-second shot of Bill Skarsgård’s face half-hidden in shadow Apocalypse now –style. Remember when the actor told esquire in May that audiences would hopefully be “a little bit attracted to it and at the same time disgusted by your appeal”? It’s four months So I long to endure such a stimulus.

Of course, that’s exactly what it’s about. Even Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp), the film’s main damsel in distress, wants another taste of the creature she calls “Death,” right after describing what sounds like the worst wedding ever has been filmed since then melancholy or maybe even Kill Bill. “It’s like a dream. It was our wedding. When we turned around, everyone was dead. The smell of their bodies was terrible… but I’ve never been so happy,” she says.



While this line sounds like an extremely dark version of Cassie’s infamous rant from euphoriathe rest of the trailer is anything but. If you Are I’m looking for a TV comparison that is as close to the atmosphere of the upcoming Robert Eggers film dime novel that you might be wondering when Eva Green will show up while watching the trailer. Unfortunately she’s not involved in this film, but we do get extensive glimpses of Nicholas Hoult as Ellen’s husband Thomas, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Friedrich Harding and – in a real plot twist – Willem Dafoe as perhaps the most normal-looking of the group Vampire hunter and occult scientist Professor Albin Eberhart von Franz. (At least his character still has a sick name.)

Nosferatuwhich hits theaters on December 25th, is sure to be a cheerful Christmas film for the whole family. At least we’ll finally get to see Skarsgård in his sexy, gross vampire makeup as a gift.
