As we continue to succumb to the darkness, Nosferatu has just landed on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. This home release is stacked with bonus features, reminiscent of a bygone era when physical media reigned supreme. We're grateful Universal gave this the proper treatment, Eggers and team meticulously crafted the world of 1830s Germany, and we're eager to take a peek behind the curtain.
The Nosferatu blu-ray bonus content includes an extended cut never-before-seen in theaters, deleted and behind-the-scenes footage, as well as Robert Eggers’ exclusive director’s commentary.
Nosferatu solidifies Eggers as a master of marrying the gorgeous and grotesque. It’s not very often we get a full blown good old fashioned monster movie. Add to that — when’s the last time you saw a gorgeously crafted gothic romance? Among popcorn buckets and official casket merch tie-ins is “a perfect classic horror movie.”
Eggers clearly loves the source material, and this is a faithful adaptation that harkens back to the classic monster movies we cut our fangs on. Viewed through Eggers’ lens, we get a gorgeous gothic take on the familiar story that is well worth watching. Well worth bringing home for the bonus features along, and of course, to watch repeatedly. Take a look at a detailed list of bonus features below.
Robert Eggers’ (The Lighthouse, The Witch) 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. Starring Bill Skarsgård (It franchise, Barbarian), Lily-Rose Depp (“The Idol”, The King), Nicholas Hoult (Renfield, The Menu), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nocturnal Animals, Bullet Train), Emma Corrin (Deadpool & Wolverine, “The Crown”), and Willem Dafoe (The Northman, The Lighthouse).
