The Swedish actor, who is the son of fellow actor Stellan Skarsgård, said working with an opera singer to lower his voice by a whole octave as part of his vocal performance in Nosferatu was particularly taxing.
Nosferatu is so scary its star has sworn off horror films forever ‘I never want to play something this evil again,’ said Bill Skarsgård.
“He’s trailed always by an army of plague-ridden rats, which seem to drive seemingly level-headed folks like Friedrich (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Anna (Emma Corrin) Harding into apocalyptic despair.
Disease is an ever-present fear, and Eggers’s Nosferatu has been a decade in the making – yet, now, in the shadow of a pandemic, its sensations feel sharper than ever.”.
But the wheezing rumble of his voice, and its rolled ‘R’s, allows him to repulse as much as he seduces.
