Consensus: One of the silent era's most influential masterpieces, Nosferatu's eerie, gothic feel -- and a chilling performance from Max Shrek as the vampire -- set the template for the horror films that followed.

Runtime: 1 hr 34 mins

Genre: Horror/Suspense

Synopsis: Hutter, a real estate agent, pays a visit to the mysterious Count Orlok, who seeks to relocate from his lair in the Carpathian Mountains and buy a residence in town. The Count becomes infatuated... Hutter, a real estate agent, pays a visit to the mysterious Count Orlok, who seeks to relocate from his lair in the Carpathian Mountains and buy a residence in town.

The first great vampire film, F.W. Murnau's silent classic... recreates the famous bloodsucker as a feral ghoul...

Before there was Bela Lugosi, there was Max Schreck. Grab this ultimate edition of one of the greatest of all horror films, preferably during daylight hours.

After the destruction was ordered of all negatives and prints, the story of Nosferatu's survival beyond death is almost as preternatural as Count Orlok's own shadowy existence.

...this is the absolute best presentation of Nosferatu... for a film this old and with its history, you really can’t ask for more.
