The first batch of reviews have hit Rotten Tomatoes for Nosferatu, and if they are anything to go by, the movie should be a big hit.
Just as I went over about Creature Commandos, you have to be cautious when it comes to the first reactions. However, Nosferatu does have a lot more reviews listed than James Gunn’s DC animated series.
I’ll also throw this out there: An early screening was held in Hollywood which a friend of mine saw, and he said, “It’s a must-see Christmas movie.”
The Nosferatu reviews on Rotten Tomatoes line up with that.

With 52 reviews presently accounted for, the Nosferatu Rotten Tomatoes Score is presently at 96%.
What do the Nosferatu negative reviews say?
Currently, of the 52, there are only two negative reviews which come from Variety and the Times UK.
Variety:
Nosferatu builds to a tragic finale, but is weighed down by pretentious dialogue, somnolent pacing and weak performances, especially that of Lily-Rose Depp as the doomed damsel.
Times (UK):
It’s ultimately a tonal problem. The film is so self-serious that it keeps stumbling into camp. It wants to be Murnau’s original but Mel Brooks’s Young Frankenstein is in the way.
What do the Nosferatu positive reviews say?
The positive reviews for Nosferatu praise Robert Eggers’ masterful reimagining of the classic tale, blending gothic horror with stunning visuals and deeply atmospheric storytelling. Critics highlight its dark, sensual, and haunting tone, with some calling it “a mesmeric macabre masterpiece” and “one of the best horror films ever made.” Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgård’s performances are widely celebrated, as is Eggers’ ability to infuse fresh life into vampire lore while staying true to its folkloric roots. Reviewers commend its exploration of corruption, decay, and desire, describing it as a visually and emotionally captivating experience that solidifies Eggers’ place as a modern horror visionary.
Nosferatu opens in theaters on December 25, 2024 directed by Robert Eggers and stars Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Emma Corrin, Willem Dafoe, and Ralph Ineson.
