Nosferatu

In Robert Eggers’ modern retelling of classic vampire lore, a supernatural darkness infiltrates a 19th-century European town. As characters debate how to vanquish the evil forces, several archetypes emerge.

• The lonely hearts who in a moment of desperation, reach out for comfort from anywhere they can get it.

• The predators who prowl about, seeking to take advantage of the vulnerable.

• The self-righteous who unjustly condemn victims. 

• Those who would willingly sell their souls to anyone or anything for a taste of power.

• The intellectuals whose high education does little to help them navigate new and unfamiliar challenges.

• The curious minds who seek to understand every philosophy but fail to adopt one of their own.

• The skeptics who reject any evidence their reason won’t permit them to believe.

• The innocent bystanders who become collateral damage in the ongoing battle between good and evil.

• Those who take an active role, exhibiting love, patience, and courage in the face of terrible obstacles.

• The brave souls who are unafraid to sacrifice their own well-being for the good of others.

Maybe you've belonged to one or all of these categories at different points in time. But which one will you be this year? 

Just a few days into 2025, we've already encountered our fair share of darkness. But knowing who we serve will empower us to face each challenge head on.
