About the Film
Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror; or simply Nosferatu) is a 1922 German
Expressionist horror film, directed by F. W. Murnau, starring Max
Schreck as the vampire Count Orlok. The film, shot in 1921 and
released in 1922, was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's
Dracula, with names and other details changed because the studio could
not obtain the rights to the novel (for instance, "vampire" became
"Nosferatu" and "Count Dracula" became "Count Orlok"). Stoker's heirs
sued over the adaptation, and a court ruling ordered that all copies of
the film be destroyed. However, one print of Nosferatu survived, and the
film came to be regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema.
