Nosferatu
Directed by F. W. Murnau
A property agent travels to the Carpathians and wakes something that does not stay in the castle. Murnau's vampire is less a monster than a stain that spreads across the frame.
Screening note
The ur-text of nocturnal cinema: expressionist shadows, impossible architecture, and a performance that feels excavated rather than acted.

“The first shadow that cinema ever cast.”
Public-domain cinema. This prototype does not host or stream the film. A production build would resolve playback through a licensed, region-aware provider.
