They plan on selling him the one across the way from Hutter’s own home. Hutter leaves his innocent wife, Ellen, with some friends while he is away. Hutter’s trek is an unusual one, with many locals not wanting to take him near the castle where strange events have been occurring. Once at the castle, Hutter does manage to sell the Count the house, but he also notices and feels unusual occurrences, primarily feeling like there is a dark shadow hanging over him, even in the daytime when the Count is unusually asleep. Hutter eventually sees the Count’s sleeping chamber in a crypt, and based on a book he has recently read, believes the Count is really a vampire or Nosferatu. While Hutter is trapped in the castle, the Count, hiding in a shipment of coffins, makes his way to Wisbourg, causing death along his way, which most attribute to the plague. Hutter himself tries to rush home to save his town and most importantly save Ellen from Nosferatu’s imminent arrival. In Wisbourg, Ellen can feel the impending darkness as Nosferatu gets closer. But she learns that a sinless woman can sacrifice herself to kill the vampire. Will Hutter be able to save Ellen either from Nosferatu and/or her self-sacrifice?.

If you were ever to be able to commit your imagination to film when you read Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” then I expect you would struggle to come up with anything more vivid than this. What is most striking is the wonderful detail as poor old estate agent “Hutter” is despatched to the home of “Count Orlok” (Max Schreck) to negotiate the acquisition of an isolated house for him. Once he arrives at the castle, we are subsumed in the eeriness and wickedness as it becomes clear that “Orlok” is an epitome of evil. Our story follows the travels of the “Count” from his castle to his new home – wreaking plague and havoc as he goes – until he arrives in the town inhabited by “Ellen” (a superbly vulnerable yet strong Greta Schröder) – the wife of the estate agent who is hot on their heals. “Ellen” has an inkling as to how to kill their nemesis, but that would involve the ultimate sacrifice. Now I have a few slight niggles with it – the inter-titles in a gothic script are, frequently, very difficult to read and that does interrupt the narrative; the editing is just a little too brutal at times and I found the score oppressive – even on the more joyous, or optimistic, scenes it seemed just a bit too overpowering than is necessary, but these are trifles when compared to the beautiful photography. Schreck is magnificent in the title role, exuding menace and malevolence, Gustav von Wangenheim (“Hutter”) conveys the sense of desperation and terror in a truly evocative manner and it all adds up to a taut horror film the likes of which you’ll never see in any subsequent treatment of this story.
Did I kill one of your people, Murnau? I can’t remember._Final rating:★★★½ – I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._
The mother of horror movies.
This movie was really impressive and quite an experience to see. Who would have ever known that a silent movie would still be so powerful now days.The power of the movie is in the fantastic atmosphere. The sets and environments are perfect and give the movie an unique atmosphere that actually is very creepy, even now days. It’s also thanks to the cinematography that captured the images perfectly. One of the most atmospheric movies I have ever seen.
The story is told in a great way and I must say that it’s told better than any other Dracula movie later released. The movie is full with some classic horror scene’s that later would inspire many other filmmakers.
And yes the movie is actually scary, which is mainly thanks to Max Schreck who plays the part of Count Orlok in a most incredible way, also helped by some good make up. Most of the other performances are typically early movie stuff. Meaning that it’s silly over the top at times. Gustav von Wangenheim gives a great lesson in overacting and his laugh might very well be the weirdest I have ever seen in a movie. But in a way all those performances give the movie a certain charm which makes it irresistible to watch.
There are also some surprising good special effects. Better one’s as in the 1931 version with Bela Lugosi anyway. Some of them were really impressive and I can imaging it really seriously freaked some people out back in 1922.
Truly a piece of movie history that needs to been seen by the movie lovers, especially by those who like the horror genre. Still after 82 years one of the best horror movies of all time.
