Don’t expect well-trodden vampire movie fare in this Nosferatu. Count Orlok doesn’t have the symmetrical fanged teeth we’re used to. This vampire isn’t a suave seducer in a high-collared black cloak.
Dafoe says Eggers wanted to get back to “a time when people actually believed in vampires”. To do this, “he went for a much more folk-based vampire”.
The actor believes this is “why this Orlok in the movie is so very different to anything we’ve ever seen before”.
The film is packed with talent popular with Gen Z (Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin). The cast – and the status of the 1922 original in the film firmament – means Eggers’ movie had achieved a cult-like following even before its release.
In the US, that was on Christmas Day. I asked whether Dafoe thought a movie about a bloodsucking, diseased creature and the horror he unleashes on a 19th Century German town was the perfect antidote to a day of family festivities.
He pointed to “the shadow side” of these occasions, “a time when some people fall into depression because they fall out of that happiness”.
It’s true that his film work offers up both sides – the joy and the pain of life, the extremes of being human and everything in-between.
