Robert Eggers writes and directs the latest iteration of Nosferatu, following in the footsteps of the iconic 1922 silent film directed by F. W.

Kuffs (1992) – Bruce A. Evans
Kuffs was tailor-made for Christian Slater. Writer/director Bruce A.

The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015) – Osgood Perkins
After enjoying Longlegs I definitely wanted to check out some of Perkins’ other work, and pulled up The Blackcoat’s Daughter to watch.
