Profile of Nosferatu

The mood of Nosferatu is bleak, atmospheric, and scary. The plot centers around vampires, deadly creatures, and good versus evil. It is a foreign and horror movie. Stylistically, Nosferatu is expressionist, is gothic, and is a silent production. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It takes place, at least partly, in a palace, castle, or temple. Nosferatu happens in the 1920s. Visually, it is black and white. It is based on a book. Nosferatu is known for being groundbreaking, a masterpiece, and essential viewing. Note that it includes violent content.

Summary of Nosferatu

F.W. Murnau's German silent classic is the original--and some say most frightening--DRACULA adaptation, taking Bram Stoker's novel and turning it into a haunting, shadowy dream full of dread. 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. 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. NOSFERATU is an eerie, menacing film that should not be missed.

This movie is good, but the instant version is terrible. They added a horrible screen tinting to scenes, and a terrible, terrible soundtrack that ruins the mood of the movie. Read and rate it
