The Quintessential Vampire Film

Nosferatu (1922)
Directed by F.W. Murnau, not rated, 81 minutes

Nosferatu is a captivating and extraordinarily eerie silent horror film about a real estate agent who goes to sell a house in his neighborhood to a bizarre man, Count Orlock, who lives in a gothic castle. Max Schreck gives the most horrifying and creepy Dracula performance ever, and effortlessly haunts every scene he's in. The story is surprisingly fast paced, and each frame is beautifully constructed. Nosferatu, despite being an 80 year old silent film, still succeeds in leaving haunting and unforgettable images of horror. You'll like it if: You like Dracula films, silents films, The Night of the Hunter, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari or Metropolis.
