Nosferatu

  • Dir: F.W. Murnau

  • Germany, 1922, 95minmins, DCP

  • Cast: Max Schreck, Alexander Granach

A landmark silent film and masterpiece of German cinema, F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu remains haunting and spine-tingling to this day. The basis for Werner Herzog’s tributeremake Nosferatu the Vampyre (P.11), this film drew initial inspiration from Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula , but subtly changed Stoker’s work in an unsuccessful bid to circumvent early-twentieth century copyright laws. Despite its legal troubles, the film left an indelible mark on cinema history as an exemplar of German Expressionism and an early cult film. With its stunning chiaroscuro, atmospheric art direction, innovative camera use, and the chilling lead performance by Max Schreck, Murnau’s seminal take on the Dracula legend would set standards for decades of horror films to come.
