Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for horror fans and fantasy fans. If you loved Dracula or House on Haunted Hill, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1922: an older pace and style.
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

The mysterious Count Orlok summons a happily married real estate agent to his castle, located up in the Transylvanian mountains, to finalise a terrifying deal.
