One of the first horror films in cinema history, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror tells the tale of the foreboding vampire Count Orlok and the real estate agent and his wife who become the objects of the count’s bloodlust.
Famed film critic Roger Ebert wrote of the film in 1997: “The film is in awe of its material. It seems to really believe in vampires... I admire it more for its artistry and ideas, its atmosphere and images, than for its ability to manipulate my emotions like a skillful modern horror film. But Nosferatu remains effective: It doesn't scare us, but it haunts us.”
Fun Fact: “Nosferatu’s manor” still stands today – the 600-year-old Salzspeicher (salt warehouse) in Lübeck, Germany, served as the exterior of the vampire’s abode.
