Eggers' directive was "What does a dead Transylvanian nobleman look like?" which led to Skarsgård's eerie movement and rich, deceptive appearance.
Eggers noted that Orlok's decrepit form represents a different horror, one that's corrupted and unnatural, in contrast to modern vampires that embody beauty.
Orlok’s look captures the essence of early folk vampires, with their corpselike features, marking a departure from the modern glamorized vampire narrative.
Count Orlok embodies a feeling of forbidden desire; he's not portrayed as a dashing hero, but rather an unsettling, tragic figure who evokes deep fears.
