Inhalt: |
Before pIumbing the depths of horror and despair with such fiIms as Faust and The Last Laugh, Friedrich WilheIm Murnau tested the waters with this moody drama of a storm-bound manor and the grim mystery that lurks within. A hunting party is interrupted by the arrival of a notorious Count , who is believed to have murdered his brother. The uninvited guest sets in motion an eIaborate plot to resurrect the ghosts of the past and bring to light the dark secret that Iies at the center of his brother's death.
The foreboding atmosphere and psychologicaI complexity inspired Murnau to delve deeper into the horror genre, which he did the foIlowing year, with the immortaI vampire tale Nosferatu . |
