Screening as part of Enzian's 13+ Films of Halloween - Presented in partnership with the Central Florida Composers Forum. Featuring a live performance from the Fernwood String Quartet! One hundred years after it first crept from the shadows, F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu remains one of the most haunting and influential films ever made. Released in 1922, this unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula transformed the vampire from a charismatic aristocrat into a nightmare figure, giving cinema one of its most unforgettable monsters in the form of Count Orlok, portrayed by the eerily unforgettable Max Schreck. Directed during the height of the German Expressionism movement, Nosferatu follows the doomed real-estate agent Thomas Hutter as he travels to Transylvania and unwittingly unleashes an ancient evil upon his hometown. Through distorted architecture, ghostly imagery, and groundbreaking visual effects, Murnau crafted a work that still feels unsettling a century later.
