Trivia
The exteriors of Orlok's castle were filmed at Hunedoara Castle, also known as Corvin Castle, a Romanian castle located in Transylvania and one of the largest medieval castles extant in Europe.

Goofs
At the beginning of the film, it tells us that it is set in "Germany 1838". Technically there was no country called Germany until 1871. Wisberg is a fictional city based on Wismar, which in 1838 belonged to the Duchy of Mecklenburg. However, this is not an error, as the region was widely referred to a "Germany" even though there was no single German state.

Quotes
Ellen Hutter: Professor, my dreams grow darker. Does evil come from within us, or from beyond?

Crazy credits
The Universal Pictures, Focus Features, Maiden Voyage Pictures and Studio 8 production logos are 1920-styled versions, in homage to the era Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) released.

Alternate versions
The "Extended Cut" features four minutes of new footage, lengthening two scenes that were already included in the theatrical version. The first new scene is a Count Orlok monologue, responding to Thomas's mention of the ritual witnessed at a tavern during his journey, where the townspeople dug up a body from the forest and impaled it with a stake. The second scene shows more of the Second Night and foreshadows Ellen's eventual acceptance of agency over her own fate.

Did Not Do It For Me

I usually love Robert Eggers' work - his films have this unique ability to pull you into eerie, unsettling worlds that linger with you long after the movie has finished. But his take on Nosferatu just didn't land for me.

The pacing was painfully slow, to the point where it felt like it was dragging for the sake of atmosphere rather than tension. And while I can appreciate deliberate storytelling, this just felt uninspiring, like it was going through the motions without that signature spark Eggers usually brings to his projects.

To make matters worse, I couldn't stop seeing Dr. Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog every time Nosferatu was on screen. It's probably not fair to the film, but the resemblance was so distracting that I found myself more amused than unsettled.

Ultimately, Nosferatu lacked the sharp, visceral energy that made Eggers' previous work so compelling. Instead of feeling haunted, I left the theater feeling underwhelmed.
