F W Murnau's horror classic was the first screen adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. As potent and disturbing now as ever, it paved the way for the future of gothic cinema. Max Schreck's Count Orlok, bald, bat-eared and rabbit-toothed, is at once terrifying and pitiable, his need for blood, for living warmth is palpable to the point of agony.Featuring some of the most iconic images in cinema, Murnau's interpretation of this great vampire tale has been much imitated not least by Werner Herzog, whose Nosferatu the Vampyre is an admiring tribute.Cast and Crew: Director: F W Murnau (Sunrise, Faust)Cast: Max Schreck (Finances of the Grand Duke)Awards and Reviews: The film is in awe of its material - Roger Ebert***** The Guardian
