Horror fans have reason to celebrate as Robert Eggers’ highly anticipated remake of Nosferatu finally arrives on streaming. The eerie and visually stunning retelling of the legendary vampire tale will make its exclusive debut on Peacock on February 21, 2025. Whether you missed its theatrical release or want to relive the chilling experience at home, this is an event worth marking on your calendar.

A Modern Horror Hit Comes to Streaming

Directed by visionary filmmaker Robert Eggers, known for The Witch and The Lighthouse, Nosferatu quickly became one of the most talked-about horror films of the past year. Featuring a stellar cast including Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, and Bill Skarsgård, the film was both a critical and commercial success. It garnered an impressive 95.4 million at the U.S. box office and 175.9 million worldwide, making it one of Focus Features’ top-performing films.

Despite its success, the wait for its streaming release has been longer than expected. While the film was quickly made available for digital purchase within a month of its theatrical debut, the streaming release was intentionally delayed. Interestingly, the studio opted not to premiere it on Valentine’s Day, even though the film explores themes of love mixed with horror. Instead, it will arrive a week later, offering audiences the perfect spooky escape as winter winds down.

Peacock’s Exclusive Streaming Rights

Peacock has secured exclusive streaming rights for Nosferatu, making it the only platform where fans can watch both the theatrical version and the extended cut. Previously, the extended version was only available through Blu-ray, DVD, or digital purchase. Now, subscribers will have access to a more immersive horror experience, diving deeper into Eggers’ artistic vision and character development.

The extended cut adds more layers to the story, offering a richer exploration of Nosferatu’s eerie presence. Eggers previously described Bill Skarsgård’s take on the iconic character as being torn between love and predation, stating, “He’s both a lover and a biter.” This duality brings a fresh yet terrifying dimension to the vampire legend, making Nosferatu stand out compared to previous adaptations.

A Critically Acclaimed Horror Masterpiece

Since its release, Nosferatu has been praised for its haunting atmosphere, stunning cinematography, and remarkable performances. Bill Skarsgård, known for his chilling portrayal of Pennywise in IT, delivers an unforgettable performance as the vampire, capturing the character’s unsettling nature. Meanwhile, Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult add significant depth to the film’s emotional core, elevating the horror elements with strong performances.

Eggers’ signature style—combining historical accuracy with visually haunting scenes—has once again proven successful. Both critics and horror fans have hailed the film as an excellent remake that stands on its own while paying homage to the 1922 silent classic.

Why This Release Matters

The streaming debut of Nosferatu on Peacock is an exciting moment for horror enthusiasts and general audiences alike. With both the theatrical and extended versions available, fans will have the chance to experience the film in different ways, depending on their preference.

For those who missed it in theaters, this release provides the perfect opportunity to see why Nosferatu was one of the most talked-about horror films of the year. Whether you are watching for the first time or revisiting its eerie beauty, February 21, 2025, is a date to remember.
