(Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht)
A film directed by Werner Herzog
1979 - 107 minutes - Color - Mono - 1.85

Synopsis

It  is  1850  in  the  beautiful, perfectly-kept town of Wismar. Jonathan Harker is about to leave on   a   long   journey   over   the   Carpathian Mountains   to   finalize   real   estate   arrangements   with a wealthy nobleman. His wife, Lucy begs him not to  go  and  is  troubled  by  a strong  premonition  of danger. Despite her warnings, Jonathan arrives four weeks later at a large, gloomy castle. Out of the mist  appears  a pale, wraith-like figure with a shaven head and deep-sunken eyes who identifies  himself  as  Count Dracula. The events that transpire slowly convince Harker that he is in the  presence  of  a  vampyre.  What  he doesn't know is the magnitude of danger he, his wife and his town are about to experience.
