Writer/director Robert Eggers enjoys making atmospheric films. He’s built an oeuvre with them, delving in the mysteries of black magic (“The Witch”), madness (“The Lighthouse”), and violence (“The Norseman”). He returns with a remake of the 1922 horror classic, “Nosferatu,” and Eggers once again sticks to darkness in the offering, remaining fairly close in story and shock as the original, while also crediting Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” as its obvious influence. The helmer doesn’t aim for a radical reworking of the tale or his filmmaking interests in the effort, which is a carefully constructed offering of nightmare cinema, pushing to get under viewer skin through its displays of monsters and rising fears. As a technical exercise, it’s an impressive achievement, generating tension through sight and sound. Dramatically, “Nosferatu” isn’t always as urgent, going conversational and confrontational for most of the excessive run time (132 minutes), creating a slow drain of suspense as the story unfolds.
