"‘Nosferatu’ could surprise in the 2025 Oscar nominations"
"Nosferatu" has managed to captivate both the public and critics equally. In fact, experts believe that the story should be recognized at the Academy Awards, not only in the technical aspects (such as photography and costume design), but also in direction and performances.
Although the horror genre usually goes unnoticed in various awards, what Robert Eggers has done, who is the director, producer, and co-writer of this film, has been masterful.
It is known that the director of "Nosferatu" has been working on this project since 2015, so he has had time to polish the story and deliver one of the best adaptations ever made of the classic vampire tale.
Several critics have highlighted the unconventional direction that this film has taken in the horror genre, something that fans of the genre seem to have appreciated. The story is led by Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, and Willem Dafoe.
