A 'must see' horror movie is finally coming to streaming on Amazon Prime Video in just a few days.
Nosferatu was released last year, with Bill Skarsgård leading a star-studded cast alongside Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Director Robert Eggers put his own stamp on the Dracula-inspired Gothic tale, following a young woman tortured by a psychic connection to an evil vampire.
The scare-fest made a huge splash when it hit the big screen a few months ago, and was branded 'chilling', 'hauntingly beautiful' and 'downright evil' by cinemagoers.
It raked more than $181million at the global box office and earned four Oscar nominations for best cinematography, best costume design, best production design and best hair and makeup styling.
The film will now be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video from June 27, just in case fans missed it in cinemas, or want another excuse to be terrified.
Nosferatu currently commands an impressive critics Rotten Tomatoes score of 84%, compared to an audience ranking of 73%.
Jonathan M praised: 'The new Nosferatu was fantastic – beautifully dark atmosphere and amazing performances all around. It stayed true to the spirit of the classic while adding some fresh twists that kept things interesting.
'A couple of scenes felt slightly long, but overall, it's one of the best horror films I've seen lately.'
Tyler F said: 'A horror absolute must see. You cannot unsee this movie. It's one of those ones that sticks with you.'
'The best Dracula-related film ever made. Proper Gothic treatment of the film. Eggers has created a masterpiece that will continue to inspire future generations,' Darko J agreed.
Ronald M commented: 'A horror movie that focuses more on psychological and atmospheric creepiness than gore and jump scares. A very enjoyable reimagining of the almost-lost classic and a welcome deviation from the usual Dracula story.
'Excellent make-up effects on Count Olaf, and even better sound design that makes the bloodsucking sound so visceral and violent.'
Jacob M added: 'This film is underrated. The gradual introduction of Count Orlok. The attention shifted between characters. It's captivating. Darkness at its finest. A masterpiece.'
The official synopsis simply reads: 'Robert Eggers' Nosferatu is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.'
However, unpacking his experience on set, Nicholas – who played Thomas Hutter – revealed that the scares weren't just saved for the screen, as he had a terrifying moment on set with his animal co-stars.
In a recent interview with Empire magazine, he was questioned on whether he was 'actually freaked out' during filming, and recalled the 'rules' he was given when meeting the Czech Shepherds playing the 'wolves'.
'They were Czech Shepherds, so they weren't wolves but part-wolf. When we met them with the animal handlers, they were like, 'Oh, they're just like dogs,'' he said. 'When we got to set, there was a moment before that scene where I'm running on the spot, trying to get my heart rate up.
'The wolves – it sent them crazy. They'd been told to chase me and then they saw me getting myself fired up, and they were barking, being held back on these leashes. I was like, 'Whoa! Whoooooaaa.' More Trending
'And there was one time doing that shot where I was running – they'd be like, 'Okay, three-two-one, action,' and I would go on three, and [the wolves] would be released on one – and there was one time where I slipped, trying to get out of the window.
'I was like, 'Well, I know these wolves have been released, and I know they're chasing me, but I never asked, like… 'What are they trained to do if they do get to me? What's the end goal here, what if I don't make it out the window??''
'I remember after that take, [David] being like, 'You pulled a weird face, we can't use that.' That was real! That was a moment of real panic!'

Jeremy Clarkson's farmhand Kaleb Cooper 'prevents serious accident' Kaleb Cooper, who has been assisting in running former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm, reportedly rushed to the aid of a driver in what could have been a "serious accident" One of the stars of Clarkson's Farm, Kaleb Cooper, has been praised for his swift actions Kaleb Cooper, the 26-year-old star of Clarkson's Farm, reportedly sprang into action to prevent a potentially disastrous accident after a hedge cutter fell from a trailer near Diddly Squat farm. Witnesses spotted Kaleb at the scene on the A3400 in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, where hydraulic fluid had spilled across the road, causing cars to skid due to the slippery surface. The incident occurred when the tank cap on the hedge cutter broke off. However, Kaleb, who was on his way to a bailing job, swiftly intervened to ease the situation.

Kaleb is set to return for the fifth season of Clarkson's Farm (Image: Amazon Prime ) Paul described the hectic scene, saying: "The hedge cutter was on the back of a trailer pulled by a 4×4.

Article continues below Cooper was seen making phone calls from his Mitsubishi L200 truck as he attempted to resolve the situation. "Kaleb was parked on the corner speaking with the driver and looked a bit worried. He probably had a lot of other jobs to get done and this only added to his hectic morning. It was just like watching the show live.", reports Surrey Live. The 53 year old went on to commend Kaleb for his quick thinking in preventing a serious accident by calling a colleague from his agricultural contracting business to help remove the machinery from the road. Thames Valley Police have yet to comment on the incident, but it is reported that they were contacted to ensure the safety of other road users.

Spies, arrests and kissing Trump - meet the world's #1 Kim Jong Un impersonator
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Being followed home, having his house raided, getting his hair cut weekly and being deported from Vietnam are all occupational hazards for Howard X. When Kim Jong Un first entered the scene in 2011, taking over the role of supreme leader of North Korea from his father, Howard immediately thought 'he looks a lot like me'. 'Other people started saying the same thing, and I thought I should do something with this,' Howard explained, and so in 2013, using a suit he already owned he took pictures of himself as Kim Jong Un pointing at various items in supermarkets. He uploaded them to a Facebook page, which exploded in popularity, and within two weeks he'd booked his first professional gig as an impersonator and was flown out to Tel Aviv Howard, who is in his mid-40s and originally from Hong Kong, had been interested in global politics, especially that of dictatorships like North Korea, for many years. Combined with his enjoyment of satire and comedy, the music producer realised that becoming a Kim Jong Un impersonator was his ideal job. Speaking to Metro, Howard said that while interest in his work fluctuates depending on current events, he can see himself continuing his activism for many years to come. 'Whenever Kim launches a missile, my phone is ringing off the hook,' he explained. 'But I don't wait around for him to do something. I've noticed that the best way for me to get work is to do my own projects. 'I've always been political, I've always gone to protests for various causes I believe in, and I found that this is a very useful tool to satirise dictators.' Howard spoke to Metro from The Hague where he protested outside the Nato summit venue earlier this week. Posing with an inflatable nuke with 'Europe, my troops are already in Ukraine. Where are yours?' written on the side, it's safe to say his political views are clear. Howard said: 'People enjoy my satirical take on world events, and being in The Hague with all the action happening here it's been good for my career – unfortunately.' But this has got him in trouble in the past. After taking part in the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong in 2014 as Kim Jong Un, Howard's house was raided and he was arrested. Although the charges were dropped, he felt he had to leave Hong Kong for his own safety. From Donald Trump's inauguration to Olympic opening ceremonies, Howard has been all over the world to make a statement, but not everything has gone smoothly. He has previously been deported from Vietnam and detained in Singapore for his protests, and he says he was even followed and assaulted by North Korean agents. Thankfully, as he has Australian citizenship, he's been able to set up a secret base down under. In fact, the most bookings he's ever had came after he documented being kicked out of Vietnam. Howard explained: 'I knew my notoriety in the press would give me some protection, and even when the cops came in Hong Kong they said 'we're big fans, but our boss told us that we had to come'. 'I had to leave a life behind in Hong Kong, I miss getting some proper dim sum, but I have the privilege of being an Australian citizen, so I figured that since I have this privilege, I need to use it to speak up. 'We have two dictators now basically controlling the world, we've got Trump on one side and Xi Jinping on the other side, and everybody else is caught in the middle. 'I think for a lot of people who are not Trump supporters, they get sad and frustrated when every time they turn on their TV they see this idiot spouting his garbage. 'That's why I decided to satirise it, because the only way you can deal with that psychologically is to point out how ridiculous it is and make a joke out of it, which is extremely easy.' From Sacha Baron Cohen's The Dictator to political satire show Spitting Image, Howard has a wide variety of influences. He also rates Frank Sanazi, a comedian who impersonates Adolf Hitler singing the songs of Frank Sinatra. But how effective is satire at bringing about change? Howard argues it's vital. 'If I was just one protester with a sign, I would be ignored, it wouldn't have much of an impact, so I decided to use this impersonation to draw eyeballs to the cause of democracy, and it's very effective,' he explained. 'I think that's why dictators are so sensitive about it. All dictators fear being made fun of. 'A lot of protesters will be very angry, and a lot of people will get very turned off by that very aggressive way of protesting. 'If you're making a joke out of it, it's a gut reaction so people cannot look away, and the people you're making fun of, they feel they lose face. More Trending 'If you can make people laugh, it takes away the fear. 'I've even made supporters of China laugh, and as a protester and political activist, you not only want to get your side to be united but you want to change the minds of the supporters of the dictatorship, so I think it's very useful.' And if he was to ever come face to face with Kim Jong Un, he already knows what he'd say to the dictator. 'I'd say 'go kill yourself and make me the leader, I'll free your country',' he said.
