"To watch F.W. Murnau's NOSFERATU is to see the vampire movie before it had really seen itself." - Roger Ebert
An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's DRACULA, NOSFERATU is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau's Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws, perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned.
