Focus Features has released this first teaser for the highly anticipated NOSFERATU.

Starring Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe, Robert Eggers’ NOSFERATU is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.

The German silent horror film released in 1922 was notable for being the earliest surviving film adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and for its technically novel and effective cinematography. Directed by German Expressionist filmmaker F.W. Murnau from a screenplay by Henrik Galeen, Nosferatu is known for its haunting vampire imagery, made possible in part by the state-of-the-art film tricks of cinematographers Fritz Arno Wagner and Günther Krampf, and for an eerie performance by Max Schreck as Count Orlok/Nosferatu.

Nosferatu the Vampyre, a German-French production directed by Werner Herzog and starring Klaus Kinski and Isabelle Adjani, was released in 1979. It is a relatively faithful adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula that incorporates elements of Murnau’s Nosferatu. Kinski, as Dracula, suffered for his art, spending four hours in the makeup chair every day for his transformation into the blood-driven count.

Shadow of the Vampire, directed by E. Elias Merhige, was released in 2000. It is a fictionalized account of the making of Nosferatu in 1922, with the amusing premise that Max Schreck was a real vampire, cast by F.W. Murnau for authenticity. John Malkovich played Murnau, and Willem Dafoe portrayed Schreck.
