The remake of 1922 Seminal classic is really an ambitious project for the director Robert Eggers who was credited for the “the Witch” as the scariest movie of 2015. Egger has the gift to create a dense atmosphere in his movies which would help him with this story as well. Though he himself is in awe of the greatest horror movie of all times himself, he would keep his version as a mark of respect and tribute to the original one. Release date, not scheduled.
