Nosferatu
At 33% overall, Nosferatu looks like an underdog — but by the time it reaches a final, it outperforms. Eggers shot Nosferatu in candlelight, cast Bill Skarsgård under a moustache and prosthetics that obscure him entirely, and let the rats do most of the talking. The film commits to plague-era ugliness in a genre that's spent a century making vampires sexy, which gives it a specific bracket profile: deeply respected, rarely the gut-instinct pick. It sits at #3 of the 3 Robert Eggers films tracked here.
Synopsis
A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.
A slow burn in bracket form. 30% in the opening round suggests voters aren't sure what to do with it early — but by the final it's at 63%. Something about the deeper rounds suits Nosferatu.
The Witch at 50% is as close to a dead heat as the platform produces. Every vote matters in this one. On the other end of the spectrum: Us at 100% is a comfortable win, while Get Out at 30% is the matchup Nosferatu can't crack.
In Modern Masters of Horror, Nosferatu loses to Get Out (30%) in round one, trails Hereditary 62–38% in the semifinals, edges The Witch 50–50% in the final. The final is too close to call.
Near the top of Robert Eggers's 3-film lineup on BingeBracket. The Witch at 54% is the benchmark; Nosferatu at #3 isn't far behind.
