Product Description:
A cornerstone of the horror film, F.W. Murnau s NOSFERATU is triumphantly reborn in this breathtaking new restoration by the F.W. Murnau Foundation. Backed by an orchestral performance of Hans Erdmann s 1922 score (recorded in 5.1 stereo surround), Kino International edition presents Murnau s masterpiece in this all-new restored HD transfer with unprecedented clarity and faithfulness to the original release version. This double-disc collection presents the film with the original German intertitles as well as with newly-translated English intertitles. Accompanying the film is a 52-minute documentary by Luciano Berriatúa which provides a detailed account of the production and explores the filmmakers involvement in the occult. Also includes 'Nosferatu: Historic Film Meets Digital Restoration' - a 3-minute documentary - Lengthy excerpts from other films by F.W. Murnau: Journey Into the Night (1920), The Haunted Castle (1921), Phantom (1922), The Finances of the Grand Duke (1924), The Last Laugh (1924), Tartuffe (1925), Faust (1926), and Tabu (1931) - Photo Gallery - Scene Comparison
Amazon.com essential video:
As noted critic Pauline Kael observed, "... this first important film of the vampire genre has more spectral atmosphere, more ingenuity, and more imaginative ghoulish ghastliness than any of its successors." Some really good vampire movies have been made since Kael wrote those words, but German director F.W. Murnau's 1922 version remains a definitive adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Created when German silent films were at the forefront of visual technique and experimentation, Murnau's classic is remarkable for its creation of mood and setting, and for the unforgettably creepy performance of Max Schreck as Count Orlok, a.k.a. the blood-sucking predator Nosferatu. With his rodent-like features and long, bony-fingered hands, Schreck's vampire is an icon of screen horror, bringing pestilence and death to the town of Bremen in 1838. (These changes of story detail were made necessary when Murnau could not secure a copyright agreement with Stoker's estate.) Using negative film, double-exposures, and a variety of other in-camera special effects, Murnau created a vampire classic that still holds a powerful influence on the horror genre. (Werner Herzog's 1978 film Nosferatu the Vampyre is both a remake and a tribute, and Francis Coppola adopted many of Murnau's visual techniques for Bram Stoker's Dracula.) Seen today, Murnau's film is more of a fascinating curiosity, but its frightening images remain effectively eerie. --Jeff Shannon

This was the 1st time I have ever seen this movie all the way through. I am more of a fan of current newer dracula than older but this movie really changed my mind and has my respect. I had seen clips as a child and remembered it being a favorite amongst many people. I have recently gotten back into old films and find myself enjoying them more now than when I was younger. Nosferatu and I mean the version from Kino has great film quality and I was amazed at how well it looked. I have seen some ... Read More

Ironically, for a film that is 86 years old, "Nosferatu" starts off, like a bad, self-produced YouTube video.
Thankfully, it improves.
I've always wanted to watch the first vampire movie ever made and the one that is often considered the greatest adaptation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula." Recently, I was able to. It's an unofficial version and Stoker's estate actually sued German Director F.W. Murnau over it. All copies of the film were ordered destroyed.
Obviously, ... Read More

Kino entertainment releases the frequently issued DVD of the German silent vampire classic,Nosferatu(1922) in a beautiful two disc special edition,worthy of the film's classic status.
The print has been cleaned up to almost pristine quality,better than there previous release of 2002,and the original score for the film is available fnally.
The score adds immeasurably to the film,creating the atmosphere and emotion and epic scale that few of the earlier releases could come close to.

This is by far my favorite Dracula movie. It was not copyrighted and was ordered to be destroyed in 1923. It didn't happen for many copies. This is a great movie and it would have been a tragedy to lose. Way back in the day when 8mm home movie projectors were in vogue and my mother was a public librarian, my brother and I used to take the 8mm version of the movie and play and play it again. We loved it and I continue that infatuation with the movie to the day. This is great DVD version with tinting, ... Read More

Great acting, great scenery and chilling story; Dracula, the master is back
The movie was released in 1922, but in 1994 it was named one of the top five German films of all time.
That just goes to show you that great work goes stronger with time. The greatness of silent movies originates from the difficulty of telling the story and in this silent great work, terror is a mission greatly accomplished.
Just a side note; the music wasn't good, but knowing that it isn't the original ... Read More
