About this movie

A cornerstone of the horror film, F. W. Murnau’s NOSFERATU: A SYMPHONY OF HORROR is resurrected in an HD edition mastered from the acclaimed 35mm restoration by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung. Backed by an orchestral performance of Hans Erdmann’s 1922 score, this edition offers unprecedented visual clarity and historical faithfulness to the original release version. An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, NOSFERATU remains to many viewers the most unsettling vampire film ever made, and its bald, spidery vampire, personified by the diabolical Max Schreck, continues to spawn imitations in the realm of contemporary cinema.

You must see this! This original german version portrays Dracula in its original grotesque form, the way it was intended. The special effects and moulage are actually very well done given that this is a silent film. Max schreck in his make up and in full character communicates an eery creepy strangeness through his eyes and mannerisms.

A must see. Forget about Dracula. Nosferatu is the creepiest vampire ever! I love the fact that this is a silent, black and white movie from the 1920's. It communicates horror in a way modern color movies just can't. Once you see it, it will haunt you forever. Be warned!

This 1922 unauthorized adaption of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" novel of 1897 is one of the rare outstanding horror films in the history of world cinema. German director F. W. Murnau creates a creepy, shadowy, haunting world here. Max Shreck as the vampire and the cinematography make this film special.
