This DVD of the 1922 Fantasy, Horror Movie Nosferatu has been digitally re-mastered to maintain the original retro/classic scratched look and feel of the original movie that was so common at the time of its creation.
Real estate agent Knock dispatches his associate Mr. Hutter to Count Orlok's castle in Transylvania as the Count wants to purchase an isolated house in Wisbourg.
They plan on selling him the one across the way from Hutter's own home. Hutter leaves his innocent wife Ellen with some friends while he is away. Hutter's trek is an unusual one with many locals not wanting to take him near the castle where strange events have been occurring.
Arriving at the castle Hutter manages to sell the Count the house but he also notices and feels unusual occurrences, primarily feeling like there is a dark shadow hanging over him. Especially in the daytime when the Count is unusually asleep. Hutter eventually sees the Count's sleeping chamber in a crypt and based on a book he has recently read, believes the Count is really a vampire or Nosferatu.
While Hutter is trapped in the castle, the Count, hiding in a shipment of coffins makes his way to Wisbourg, causing death along his way. |
