After so many films and series exploited the theme of blood-sucking monsters, it takes some guts to make a vampire movie. We’ve seen it all: the gothic Interview with the Vampire, YA productions Twilight , the gory True Blood and the art house Only Lovers Left Alive. It felt like pop culture had drained the vampire story for good.
Robert Eggers, however, decided to return to the vampire genre’s roots. For his latest movie, he chose to remake Nosferatu – Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau’s 1922 silent film and an unauthorised adaptation of Dracula by Bram Stoker. Eggers, the creator of dark period dramas with a horror spin such as The Witch, Lighthouse and The Northman, seemed the right person for such a task. To accomplish it, he assembled a unique cast that included Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Willem Dafoe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Emma Corrin.

When could Nosferatu be released on VOD?
The horror by Robert Eggers is now available on digital in the US and the UK.
When could Nosferatu be released on streaming services?
In the US, you can stream Nosferatu on Peacock . The service features an extended version of the film and a six-part bonus material. The basic ad-supported subscription costs $7.99 per month, while the ad-free tier comes at $13.99 per month.
Films on Peacock typically hit Sky and Now in the UK, but we don’t know for sure if this is the case for Nosferatu. If you’re a fan and don’t want to wait for the UK streaming release, you can watch Nosferatu using VPN. A Virtual Private Network will let you bypass the geo-restriction and access Peacock outside the United States. There are plenty of VPN apps on the market, but we recommend NordVPN or ExpressVPN , the most affordable and easy-to-use options.
All you have to do is download one of the apps mentioned, set up an account, and connect to the US server. Below, you will find a complete guide on how to do it.
