Robert Eggers’ ‘Nosferatu’ Will Stream on Peacock Next Week
Fresh off its four Academy Award nominations, Robert Eggers‘ Nosferatu will stream exclusively on Peacock on February 21.
Both the 132-minute theatrical cut and the 136-minute extended cut will be available on the streaming service, along with a behind-the-scenes featurette, Nosferatu: An Inside Look.
Other vampire films on Peacock include Werner Herzog‘s Nosferatu the Vampyre, Dan Curtis’ Dracula, Dracula’s Widow, Count Dracula’s Greatest Love, The Carmilla Movie, Carmilla, Stake Land, Stake Land II, and The Reflecting Skin.
A reimagination of F.W. Murnau‘s 1922 silent horror classic, 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.
Bill Skarsgård stars as Count Orlok with Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, and Willem Dafoe.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her 5-skull review, “It’s so impeccably crafted, boasting production design and values rarely seen in horror like this, without sacrificing the taboo-pushing, visceral horror in the process. It’s operatic and dramatic, bold and revolting, with a powerful final shot for the ages.”
Eggers’ highest grossing film with $156.3 million worldwide, Nosferatu is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and took to the top spot on Bloody Disgusting’s Top 15 Best Horror Movies of 2024.
The film is currently available on Digital and hits 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on February 18 from Universal.
One of contemporary horror’s best werewolf movies is 2017’s Good Manners, and it’s finally set to receive a proper physical media release.
Icarus Films is partnering with OCN Distribution to unleash a new Blu-ray that’s now available to preorder via Vinegar Syndrome. and with a limited edition slipcover.
Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans.
Good Manners is the second collaboration between filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra, who write and direct. Zama’s Rui Poças‘ cinematography captures this unique werewolf tale described as “Disney meets Jacques Tourneur.”
Our own Trace Thurman wrote in his review, “With Good Manners, Rojas and Dutro have made one of the best werewolf movies ever made. That they are able juggle commentaries on racism and classism while still managing to tell two deeply affecting love stories is remarkable.”
