F. W. Murnau's NOSFERATU, the first cinematic adaptation of Bram Stoker s 'Dracula' is an icon of the horror genre. The film gains its impact not from the staging of physical violence or an artificial studio at­mosphere, but from the contrast between the rigidity of the vampire Nosferatu and the impetuosity of the youthful hero Hutter, as well as from the contrast between the barren, desolate Carpathian castle and the Biedermeier atmosphere of the town of Wisborg.
