It's been over a century since F. W. Murnau presented the first movie vampire to the world and laid the groundwork for horror movies in the decades to come. But 102 years worth of vampire cinema isn't enough to prepare you for what Robert Eggers has cooked up. His remake is a chilling revision that retains the classic elements of the vampire story while amplifying the virus metaphor and sexual undertones of vampyric lore. It's a contemporary gothic masterpiece complete with suffocating atmosphere and discomfortingly graceful cinematography.
