Plot
An estate agent travels to Transylvania to meet Count Orlok, who then follows him home and brings death to his town. It is an unofficial adaptation of Dracula.
Sinekatalog’s take
Murnau's unauthorised Dracula adaptation gave cinema Max Schreck's gaunt Count Orlok. Eerie and atmospheric, with its shadow-on-the-stairs shot, it is a foundational vampire film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
