Year 1838. In the city of Wisborg the couple live happily Hutter and his wife, Ellen, until the dark estate agent Knock decides to send Hutter to Transylvania for closing a business with the Count Orlok (Max Schreck).

This is the sale of property in Wisborg, which adjoins the house of Hutter.

During the long road, Hutter overnight in an inn, where he read an old treaty on vampires found in his room.

Once inside the castle, is received by the the Count, which excites the young man when a finger is cut.

The next day, Hutter dawns with two small marks on her neck, which interprets as mosquito bites.

Once signed the contract, he discovered that the Count is actually a vampire. To see him leave his new home, Hutter feared by Ellen.

“Nosferatu” was a free adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula” and the name was changed to avoid having to pay royalties.

The making of this movie was presented in 2000 release “Shadow of the Vampire” starred by John Malcovich and Willem Dafoe.

F.W. Nosferatu Murnau is filming in Eastern Europe. The director decided to make the most authentic movie ever. Pair this end Murnau has hired a real vampire, Max Schreck as the starring.

Murnau Explains the peculiar behavior of Schreck to his crew saying that he is a method actor. If Schreck performs the actions that desperately seeks Murnau and control his more indecent needs until the end of the production, Shreck will get a big award from the director…

The plot of this movie suggets the old urban legend that  a  real vampire starred of the classic silent film “Nosferatu“, directed by F. W. Murnau in 1922.

Obviously, the fact of bringing in a vampire in the cast has its consequences, and eventually generate a number of situations that endanger the entire production team, even threatening to cancel the movie.

Murnau and his star have several clashes of opinion regarding the makeup (or lack of it), the validity of the cinema as a means to gain immortality and destiny of the people involved in the filming of that venerable classic.
