An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu is the quintessential vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau.

Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau's Count Orlok is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned.

In this highly influential silent horror film, the mysterious Count Orlok summons Thomas Hutter to his remote Transylvanian castle in the mountains. The eerie Orlok seeks to buy a house near Hutter and his wife, Ellen. After Orlok reveals his vampire nature, Hutter struggles to escape the castle, knowing that Ellen is in grave danger. Meanwhile Orlok's servant, Knock, prepares for his master to arrive at his new home.
