This Week on The Screenplay Lab: We're diving deep into Robert Eggers' Nosferatu screenplay, a masterful reimagining of the gothic classic. Fresh off the presses, this screenplay showcases Eggers' unique style, oscillating between lush, sprawling sentences and punchy bursts of intensity.

• Robert Eggers: A modern trailblazer of psychological horror (The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman).
• The Story: A haunting tale rooted in 1830s Baltic German, dripping with eerie atmosphere, twisted obsession, and forbidden desire.

• Themes: Female agency, the corrupting influence of greed, and the battle between light and darkness.
