Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (German: Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens) is a 1922 silent German Expressionist vampire film directed by F. W. Murnau from a screenplay by Henrik Galeen. It stars Max Schreck as Count Orlok, a vampire who expresses interest in a new residence and on the wife (Greta Schröder) of his real estate agent (Gustav von Wangenheim).
This silent German horror film follows Thomas Hutter, who is sent to Transylvania to facilitate the purchase of a house by the mysterious Count Orlok. Upon arriving, Hutter learns from locals that Orlok may be connected to supernatural events. Orlok’s strange behavior and sinister appearance lead Hutter to suspect that he is a vampire, and soon enough, horrific events begin to unfold.
Murnau’s Nosferatu is a landmark in gothic cinema, renowned for its expressionist style and its iconic portrayal of the vampire. The story is narrated from the diary of Johann Cavallius, historian of the city of Bremen, who is wondering if it was the Nosferatu who brought the plague to Bremen in 1838.
