Synopsis: Nosferatu (1922)

F.W. Murnau's German silent classic is the original and some say scariest DRACULA adaptation, taking Bram Stoker's novel and turning it into a haunting, shadowy dream full of dread. Count Orlok, the rodentlike vampire frighteningly portrayed by Max Schreck, is perhaps the most animalistic screen portrayal of a vampire ever filmed. The design was copied by Werner Herzog...
F.W. Murnau's German silent classic is the original and some say scariest DRACULA adaptation, taking Bram Stoker's novel and turning it into a haunting, shadowy dream full of dread. Count Orlok, the rodentlike vampire frighteningly portrayed by Max Schreck, is perhaps the most animalistic screen portrayal of a vampire ever filmed. The design was copied by Werner Herzog in his 1979 remake and by Tobe Hooper for his telefilm of Stephen King's SALEM'S LOT that same year. Names had to be changed from the novel when Stoker's wife charged his novel was being filmed without proper permission. Running times vary depending upon versions of the film. NOSFERATU is an eerie, menacing film that should not be missed.

User Reviews: Nosferatu (1922)

  • Overall:

    Still the scariest vampire film!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 17, 2001

    I love Coppola's version, Browning's version, Dreyer's Vampyr, Interview with a Vampire, and The Hunger; but none of them match the creepy chill of Nosferatu. Along with Metropolis and Caligari, this film expresses post-WWI German paranoia, tension, ...and dread. Not exactly light viewing. The images are darkly poetic: the shadow of a claw clutching a girls heart, a sleepwalking girl who sacrifices her soul in a dream, a procession of coffins down a cobblestone street, a girl waiting for her lover in a seaside graveyard...

  • Overall:

    The first Dracula film....

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 21, 2000

    This is required viewing for all students of cinema and horror within the cinema. This is not the suave vampire that Lugosi would create within the next decade. This is walking death. A must.
