Nosferatu: The Vampire Born Out of Creative & Cultural Oppression

1922's Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror has stood as my absolute favorite movie since I first saw it 18 years ago. With Robert Eggers's adaptation on the horizon, I figured now would be a great time to look back at the film that gave birth to the cinematic vampire, exploring its influences, impact, and lasting legacy. #nosferatu #vampires #filmmaking Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is a 1922 silent German Expressionist vampire film starring Max Schreck as Count Orlok, a vampire who preys on the wife of his estate agent, Hutter, and brings the plague to their fictional town of Wisborg, Hermany.
