I think there is very little doubt that Eggers had an inspired vision! He also is known to be a rabid and thorough researcher. His film reflects an intense study of Romanian folk tales and folk horror, and I would argue is what lends such weight to the film. He also possesses an astonishing gift as an artist and a very dangerous intelligence. All this he combined to rework Nosferatu, which is a remake of Stoker's Dracula. He is ridiculously successful, and the movie has done the rare thing of adding to something that already is well represented. These thoughts are my own, but I've begun to do some reading of the thoughts of others, and it seems we all are having pretty much the same experience. Here's a handful of my recent reads that I feel are worth sharing. Happy to discuss in more detail!
