Description

Nosferatu is Robert Eggers' long-anticipated gothic reimagining of F.W. Murnau's legendary 1922 silent film, transplanting the tale of obsessive vampiric possession into a world of oppressive shadow and period-authentic horror. Set in 1838, the film follows Ellen Hutter, a young woman haunted since childhood by a malevolent presence from the darkness. When her husband Thomas travels to Transylvania to complete a business transaction with the mysterious Count Orlok, a chain of events is set in motion that will bring ancient evil to the cobblestone streets of Wisburg.

Eggers, working in his signature mode of meticulous period recreation, transforms Nosferatu into a film of overwhelming atmosphere. Bill Skarsgård's Count Orlok is a creature of genuine horror — animalistic, pestilential, and radiating a kind of ancient wrongness that registers on a primal level. Lily-Rose Depp carries the film's emotional weight as Ellen, a woman whose psychology the script takes seriously: she is not merely a victim but a figure of tragic agency, drawn toward the horror she most fears.

Shot by Jarin Blaschke in deep shadows and cold grey light, Nosferatu is one of the most visually arresting American films of the 2020s. Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson round out an exceptional ensemble. The film announces itself as the definitive version of this vampire legend — a horror film of genuine artistic ambition that honours its source material while finding entirely new meanings in its most ancient imagery.

Is the phrase "dybbuk box" sounds familiar to you? You may be heard this unbelievable true story about the box being sold on eBay in 2001 to Mannis, a furniture restorer, who was warned about evil ghost, trapped inside the box, by ex-owner's granddaughter upon collection. He tried to return the box, but his offer met weird hysterical refusal. Lately, he learned lots about the box. It is originated from Lodz ghetto, where in 1938 a group of women managed to conduct the spiritual séance resulted in trapping a dybbuk in the box. Dybbuk is a Jewish-folklore evil spirit, who represents a soul of dead person, which has unfinished business in the world of living. To make things done, dybbuk infuses in the human live being, which it ultimately devours at the end. But let's go back to the story, the box and its owner survived the horrors of World War 2, and emigrated to USA, where she died in 2001 and the box were sold to abovementioned Mannis. Finally, he brings this box home and opens it. Inside, he finds strange artifacts: locks of blonde and brunette hairs, dried flower buds, a goblet with remains of wine and the statue with Hebrew word Shalom, engraved on it. Lately he sold the box due to the numerous nightmares he and his wife suffered after the box appeared in their lives. All the later owners of "dybbuk box" have reported about these nightmares and curses that accompanied their lives since they bought the box. This true story has laid in the storyline's foundation of The Possession, the movie released in 2012. The film was directed by Ole Bornedal, and screenplay was written by Juliet Snowden and Stiles White. Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick are starring in the movie alongside with Grant Show, Madison Davenport and Natasha Calis. The last one portrays the main character, Em, who apparently becomes possessed by a dybbuk from the box.
