After watching the film, many viewers are sharing their thoughts on X about Skarsgård's performance and are raving about it.
"Nosferatu is a Beautifully Macabre Masterpiece! It is undoubtedly one of The Best horror films of 2024. Lily-Rose Depp delivers a career-best performance, while Bill Skarsgard cements himself as a modern horror icon with his captivating and grotesque portrayal of Count Orlok," said a user.
"Nosferatu was fantastic. Robert Eggers is 4/4 in my book. Also, Bill Skarsgard as Count Orlok is perfect casting," wrote a netizen.
"Skarsgård in Nosferatu is genuinely the most impressive acting feat of this year (maybe only second to Lily-Rose Depp in the same movie). If the goal is to leave only the monster, no actor, then Bill has done it to a degree very few in HISTORY have," said another user.
Especially, the voice and tone Bill Skarsgard has incorporated to portray Count Orlok has received lot of praise online.
"The prosthetic transformation (lol) for Bill Skarsgard in Nosferatu is incredible but I’ve seen it twice now and still can’t process how the voice thing is possible. My brain can’t even imagine that it’s him the man is completely gone," said one user.
"If I hadn't known Bill Skarsgard played Orlok in NOSFERATU, I would've never guessed it was him. Such an immersive performance, and the voice is most impressive. Unreal," said another user.
"Bill Skarsgard looks INHUMAN as Count Urlock and so is his voice," exclaimed another fan.
