Greetings Film Fiends and Deadites,
To continue with my serving of seasonal film offerings, I present “Nosferatu” directed by F.W. Murnau and starring Max Schreck as Count Orlock the Vampire. This 1922 German Expressionist film is the first cinematic adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”. Due to copyright issues, Murnau couldn’t use the characters from the original novel so he changed the names. There is also some minor “tweeking” to the story, otherwise a very faithful cinematic telling of the classic vampire story. Also available though Netflix instant download and You Tube.
