Nosferatu and its environment, through setting and lighting, cultivates a certain feeling which only serves to enhance the disgusting nature of the vampire, its power, and its overwhelming presence. While the uncomfortable themes and certain explicit scenes might turn people off to the movie, strictly speaking, it is a very well executed visual work of art. Robert Eggers has a strict philosophy in directing and producing movies. That is, make sure the sets are as historically accurate as possible. For example, on “The Witch,” he used 17th century tools to faithfully recreate the feel of a Puritan-esque environment. His devotion also extends in recent films like “The Northman,” where he consulted with Viking historians, records, and references.
