Robert Eggers has become perhaps the most acclaimed horror film director in the movie industry, in part because of his insistence on authenticity. Eggers’ well-known and popular films, including The Witch (2015), The Lighthouse (2019) and The Northman (2022), have all been set in non-contemporary historical periods, and the director has gone to great lengths to ensure that his re-creations of the past are realistic and accurate right down to the last detail.
This approach has continued in the director’s new hit feature film, his stylish and frightening 2024 remake of the silent-movie era classic Nosferatu. In this reimagined version of one of horror fiction’s most well-known tales, the movie’s lead character is an ancient vampire who speaks an extinct Balkan region language known as Dacian, which hasn’t been uttered in the real world for more than 1,500 years.
Count Orlok, an Eerie Visitor from a Forgotten Era
The movie is set in the year 1838, preserving the 19th century Transylvania setting introduced in the classic novel upon which Nosferatu is ultimately based, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The supernatural antagonist in the movie, the grotesque and dreadful Count Orlok, is an ancient vampire who was born hundreds of years before the 19th century, which is why (if he were a real person) he would not have been a native Romanian speaker.
