The movie was written and directed by Robert Eggers, based on Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula and Henrik Galeen’s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror. In the film, Dafoe portrays a Swiss philosopher who’s an expert in the occult. This marked Eggers and Dafeo’s latest collaboration after 2019’s The Lighthouse and 2022’s The Northman.

“The film is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake,” reads the film’s official synopsis.
The film was produced by Eggers, Jeff Robinov, John Graham, Chris Columbus, and Eleanor Columbus. In the 2025 Academy Awards, the movie earned four nominations, including Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
