| An iconic film of the German expressionist cinema, and one of the most
famous of all silent movies, F W. Murnau's Nosferatu. A Symphony of Horror
continues to haunt - and, indeed, terrify - modern audiences with the
unshakable power of its images. Murnau captured on celluloid the deeply-rooted
elements of a waking nightmare, and launched the signature "Murnau-style"
that would change cinema history forever.
In this first-ever screen adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, a simple real-
estate transaction leads an intrepid businessman deep into the superstitious
heart of Transylvania. There he encounters the otherworldly Count Orlok - portrayed by the legendary Max Schreck - who soon after embarks upon a
cross-continental voyage to take up residence in a distant new land...
F W. Murnau's surreal 1922 cine-fable remains the original and landmark entry
in the entire global tradition of "the horror film".
