A landmark motion picture.

Murnau proved his directorial artistry in Sunrise for Fox about three years earlier, but in this picture he's a master artisan demonstrating not only a knowledge of the subtler side of directing but in photography.

Watching Nosferatu is like standing in the same room as death itself.
