Nosferatu (1922) Originally released in 1922 as Nosferatu, Eine Symphonie Des Grauens, director F.W. Munarau's chilling and eerie adaption of Stoker's Dracula is a silent masterpiece of terror which to this day is the most striking and frightening portrayal of the legend.

The horror started here. Nosferatu is everyday among us.

A clear rip-off of Dracula, so much so that Bram Stoker’s widow won a lawsuit that saw nearly all copies of the film being burned, Nosferatu still created a style that influenced subsequent vampire films. There are certain lines that haven’t aged well, including a moment where Orlok comments on the beauty of a woman’s neck, but on the whole, the film still works. The film uses shadows brilliantly to elicit a feeling of dread and impending doom. Max Schreck is all kinds of creepy and his performance led to rumors arising that an actually vampire was used during production. Hell, there was even a film, Shadow of the Vampire, made based on this rumor. Nosferatu under the direction of F.W. Murnau was the first film to use vampires as a representation of homosexuality, something that continues to happen to this day.

Have seen this ten million times...not really sure what all its about but can usually tell a scene at thirty paces.

Yes to the original and the Werner Herzog version.
