In a scene starkly different from the 1922 source material, orlok rises from his coffin—completely nude—to chase thomas, delivering skarsgård’s vampiric full frontal Thomas is able to escape, though he is weak, and returns to ellen But the nightmare isn’t over. The film’s various sex scenes and full frontal nudity, including count orlock’s member, also captured fan attention on social media “nosferatu has necrophilia, bisexuality, bloodplay and full frontal nudity what else could u possibly ask for in a film.” The movie closes with an overhead shot of ellen holding the skeletal orlok in a naked embrace, a change from the original nosferatu
In the 1922 movie, orlok crouches over ellen and drinks her. In the new ‘nosferatu’ film director robert eggers wanted to give the character a fresh, unique look When thomas hutter (played by nicholas hoult) finds orlok in his sarcophagus, the vampire is revealed with a bushy mustache, a skeletal face, and decaying skin all over his body, including a full frontal nude scene. Eggers is using sex and death as a metaphor for our fears, and the scenes of a naked count orlok terrorizing the living and the undead emphasize the film’s body horror.
