Nosferatu (1922) - Plot Summary Poster   Plot Summary    •
Wisbourg, Germany based estate agent Knock dispatches his
associate, Hutter, to Count Orlok's castle in Transylvania as
the Count wants to purchase a isolated house in Wisbourg. They
plan on selling him the one across the way from Hutter's own
home. Hutter leaves his innocent wife, Ellen, with some friends
while he is away. Hutter's trek is an unusual one, with many
locals not wanting to take him near the castle where strange
events have been occurring. Once at the castle, Hutter does
manage to sell the Count the house, but he also notices and
feels unusual occurrences, primarily feeling like there is a
dark shadow hanging over him, even in the daytime when the Count
is unusually asleep. Hutter eventually sees the Count's sleeping
chamber in a crypt, and based on a book he has recently read,
believes the Count is really a vampire or Nosferatu. While
Hutter is trapped in the castle, the Count, hiding in a shipment
of coffins, makes his way to Wisbourg,
