Nosferatu the Vampyre [4K UHD]

Jonathan Harker (Bruno Ganz, Downfall) lives with his wife, Lucy (Isabelle Adjani, La reine Margot), in the idyllic town of Wismar where he works as an estate agent. In spite of grim omens, Harker ventures deep into the Carpathian Mountains to close a property deal with the strangest of clients, the sickly, tormented Count Dracula (Klaus Kinski, Aguirre, The Wrath of God).

Werner Herzog’s masterful contribution to the vampire canon is both a tribute to the 1922 silent Nosferatu and a thoughtful chiller in its own right. Kinski’s exquisite performance, Herzog’s painterly images and Popul Vuh’s ethereal music combine to create one of horror cinema’s most hypnotic and seductive experiences.
