Robert Eggers explains the twisted reason behind Nosferatu's big change to Bill Skarsgard's version of the vampire

Nicholas Hoult as Thomas Hutter in Robert Eggers' Nosferatu.

Bill Skarsgård's Nosferatu has been deliberately obscured from the trailers for Robert Eggers' new horror, as the director promises a much differently looking fanged foe than Max Schreck's back in the '20s. But there are more ways in which the latest Count Orlok deviates from the original – and fictional vampires in general, too.
