Nosferatu (2024)

In the early 1800s, a young girl, Ellen, pleads for the arrival of a supernatural being. Her cries awaken a mysterious creature who makes her pledge herself to him eternally.

Years later, in winter 1838, Ellen, now married, lives in the town of Wisborg, Germany, with husband Thomas Hutter. To ensure financial security for the couple, Thomas accepts a commission from his employer, Herr Knock, to sell the decrepit home Schloss Grünewald to the reclusive Count Orlok. Ellen unsuccessfully begs Thomas to remain with her, as she is haunted by dreams of marrying Death himself and is disturbed by the pleasure it gives her. Thomas leaves her in the care of his wealthy friend, Friedrich Harding, his wife Anna, and their young daughters.

Arriving in Transylvania's Carpathian Mountains, Thomas is shunned by the local peasantry for associating with Orlok. That night, he witnesses their impaling an alleged vampire's corpse with a stake; the corpse jolts and vomits blood. The following morning, Thomas finds the village deserted.
