Robert Eggers’ 'Nosferatu' Divides Critics Despite Box Office Success

The remake of the 1922 silent horror classic garners praise for visuals and performances but faces criticism for its narrative and thematic execution.

Robert Eggers’ 'Nosferatu' has grossed over $100 million worldwide in its first two weeks, marking a surprising box office success.
Critics have highlighted the film's striking cinematography and strong performances, particularly from Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe.
The portrayal of Count Orlok, played by Bill Skarsgård, has received mixed reviews, with some finding the character lacking in menace compared to previous iterations.
The film has been criticized for its lack of cohesive themes and over-reliance on elaborate camera work, which some argue detracts from the storytelling.
Eggers revealed in an interview that he abandoned a planned adaptation of Mary Shelley’s 'Frankenstein,' citing creative challenges with the material.
