Ballinger posted it to her YouTube channel in February 2018. It is currently unlisted, but still…

Filmmaker Robert Eggers is known for moody, earthy, and elemental films like “The VVitch,” “The Lighthouse,” and “The Northman.” Now he is taking on the challenge of remaking the beloved 1922’s horror film, “Nosferatu.” The remake is described as a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him. Though the original “Nosferatu” is probably best known for almost being sued out of existence. Because it is a blatant adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” long before the novel was in the public domain. Or…
