《吸血鬼：諾斯費拉圖》（Nosferatu）是導演Robert Eggers於2024年推出的哥德式恐怖電影，翻拍自1922年的同名經典默片。影片由Bill Skarsgård飾演Count Orlok，Lily-Rose Depp飾演Ellen Hutter，Nicholas Hoult飾演Thomas Hutter。
19世紀30年代初，年幼的Ellen因孤寂祈求超自然力量，並與神秘生物Count Orlok立下永世效忠的誓約。數年後，1838年的寒冬，Ellen已為人妻，與丈夫Thomas Hutter居住在德國Wisburg。Thomas為了生計，將破舊的Grünewald Manor出售給隱居的Orlok。Ellen深受夢魘困擾，夢中她與死神結為連理，感到不安，懇求Thomas留下。
Thomas前往Transylvania處理交易，當地村民對Orlok避而不見。當晚，他目睹Roma人釘死吸血鬼屍體，發現屍體吐出鮮血。次日，他發現整個村莊消失，最終由一輛無人駕駛的馬車送至Orlok的城堡。
Orlok舉止怪異且令人畏懼，Thomas被迫完成交易。晚餐時，他不慎劃破手指，陷入昏迷並發現被吸血鬼咬傷。Orlok盜走Ellen的髮絲項鍊，強迫他簽署神秘文件。Thomas日漸虛弱，發現Orlok棲身於棺材中。試圖刺殺Orlok未果，最終他逃脫並在修女照料下恢復健康。
Orlok帶著老鼠登船，前往Wisburg，沿途屠殺船員。同時在Wisburg，Ellen因夢遊和癲癇折磨，Dr. Sievers與神秘學者Prof. Franz發現她受到了Nosferatu的詛咒。Orlok的僕人Knock被關進精神病院。
當Orlok帶來的瘟疫肆虐時，Thomas回到小鎮，Knock殺害看守並護送Orlok至Grünewald Manor。Orlok告訴Ellen，她的誓約將他們命運緊扣，並威脅她若不順從他，將殺死Thomas並讓瘟疫蔓延。Ellen不聽從並與Thomas發生關係，Orlok為泄憤殺害了Anna與孩子們，Friedrich也因瘟疫死去。
Franz的研究顯示，純潔少女的犧牲才能摧毀Nosferatu。Ellen知道她是唯一能阻止瘟疫的人，與Franz密謀引開Thomas，成功誘使他前往Grünewald Manor。途中，Thomas、Franz與Sievers誤殺Knock，Thomas發現Franz的陰謀後急忙回去拯救Ellen。Franz摧毀Orlok的棺材，Ellen再次對Orlok宣誓效忠，並以鮮血分散他的注意，直至陽光將Orlok消滅。
最終，Ellen為阻止瘟疫蔓延，犧牲自己，讓世界擺脫了Orlok的詛咒。
2024年版的《Nosferatu》讓我有些失望，與1922年原版相比，視覺和情感表現有所不同，未能引起同樣的震撼。女主角的形象並不像傳統吸血鬼故事中的純潔少女，她的外貌和氣質不夠迷人，這使得她迷倒Count Orlok的情節顯得不夠說服力。她與Thomas的情感表現也較為薄弱，使得她的犧牲顯得突兀。中段劇情讓我懷疑自己在看驅魔片，Prof. Franz的角色亦讓人失望，他的神秘學知識未能有效發揮，角色缺乏深度，削弱了故事的神秘感和層次。
相比之下，1922年的原版《Nosferatu》因其創新視覺效果、剪輯和無聲電影風格，成為影史經典，成功營造了強烈的懸疑和壓迫感，無論是拍攝技巧還是畫面構建都具有突破性，讓人感受到不同尋常的氛圍。
Professor, my dreams grow darker. Does evil come from within us, or from beyond?Ellen
I have seen things in this world that would make Isaac Newton crawl back into his mother’s womb! We are not so enlightened as we are blinded by the gaseous light of science. I have wrestled with the Devil as Jacob wrestled the Angel in Penuel, and I tell you that if we are to tame darkness, we must first face that it exists!Franz
Ellen Hutter: I have felt you… crawling like a serpent in my body.
Count Orlok: It is not me. It is your own nature.
Ellen Hutter: No! I love Thomas.
Count Orlok: Love is inferior to you. I told you, you are not of Human kind.
Ellen Hutter: You are a villain to speak so!
Count Orlok: I am an appetite, nothing more.
Count Orlok: It is not me. It is your own nature.
Ellen Hutter: No! I love Thomas.
Count Orlok: Love is inferior to you. I told you, you are not of Human kind.
Ellen Hutter: You are a villain to speak so!
Count Orlok: I am an appetite, nothing more.
It was our wedding, yet not in chapel walls. The scent of the lilacs was strong in the rain… and when I reached the altar, you weren’t there… Standing before me, all in black… was… Death. But I was so happy, so very happy. We exchanged vows, we embraced, and when we turned round, everyone was dead. Father… and… everyone. The stench of their bodies was horrible… it overwhelmed the lilacs… and… But I had never been so happy as that moment… as I held hands with Death.Ellen
Ellen Hutter: Come to me. Come to me. A guardian angel. A spirit of comfort. Spirit of any celestial sphere. Anything. Hear my call.
Ellen Hutter: Come to me.
Count Orlok: You.
Count Orlok: You wakened me from an eternity of darkness. You… You… You are not for the living. You are not for human kind. And shall you be one with me ever-eternally? Do you swear it?
Ellen Hutter: I swear…
Ellen Hutter: Come to me.
Count Orlok: You.
Count Orlok: You wakened me from an eternity of darkness. You… You… You are not for the living. You are not for human kind. And shall you be one with me ever-eternally? Do you swear it?
Ellen Hutter: I swear…
Ellen Hutter: You are a deceiver.
Count Orlok: You deceive yourself.
Ellen Hutter: I was but an innocent child.
Count Orlok: And thought you I would not return? Thought you I would not? Your passion is bound to me.
Ellen Hutter: You cannot love.
Count Orlok: I cannot. Yet I cannot be sated without you.
Count Orlok: Remember how once we were. A moment. Remember?
Ellen Hutter: I abhor you.
Count Orlok: You are false!
Count Orlok: You deceive yourself.
Ellen Hutter: I was but an innocent child.
Count Orlok: And thought you I would not return? Thought you I would not? Your passion is bound to me.
Ellen Hutter: You cannot love.
Count Orlok: I cannot. Yet I cannot be sated without you.
Count Orlok: Remember how once we were. A moment. Remember?
Ellen Hutter: I abhor you.
Count Orlok: You are false!
Ellen Hutter: I know him.
Thomas Hutter: Know him?
Ellen Hutter: I’ve brought this evil upon us. I have never shared my secret with any soul. I sought company. I sought tenderness and I called out.
Thomas Hutter: What do you mean by this?
Ellen Hutter: At first, it was sweet. I had never known such bliss.
Thomas Hutter: Ellen.
Ellen Hutter: Yet it turned to torture. It would kill me. But, Thomas, it was you that gave me the courage to be free of my shame. You.
Thomas Hutter: What are you telling me?
Ellen Hutter: Don’t you understand?
Thomas Hutter: Pray, help me to.
Ellen Hutter: He is my shame. He is my melancholy. He took me as his lover then, and now he has come back. He has discovered our marriage and has come back.
Thomas Hutter: Impossible.
Ellen Hutter: He stalks me in my dreams. All my sleeping thoughts are of him every night.
Thomas Hutter: Know him?
Ellen Hutter: I’ve brought this evil upon us. I have never shared my secret with any soul. I sought company. I sought tenderness and I called out.
