"Originally released in 1922 as 'Nosferatu, eine symphonie des grauens', director F.W. Munarau's chilling and eerie adaptation of Stoker's Dracula is a silent masterpiece of terror which to this day is the most striking and frightening portrayal of the legend. An unauthorized production of Bram Stoker's work with enough preserved to recognize, but enough changed to be legal (names changed to protect the innocent?) Count orlok's move to Breme bring the plague traceable to his dealing iwth the realtor Thomas Hutter, and the Count's obsession with Hutter's wife, Ellen, the only one with the power to end the evil."--Container.
