Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) - F. W. Murnau {Kino}

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) - F. W. Murnau NOTE:This is the Kino DVD version of Nosferatu, quite simply the best version of the movie available. PLOT:The story is narrated from the diary of Johann Cavallius, historian of the city of Bremen, who is wondering if it was the Nosferatu who brought the plague to Bremen in 1838. Newlyweds Hutter [Gustav von Wangenheim] and Ellen [Greta Schroeder] are saddened when Hutter is sent to Transylvania by Hutter's employer Knock [Alexander Grannach] to arrange for Count Orlok's [Max Schreck] purchase of a house across the street from the Hutters' house in Bremen. Hutter travels to Transylvania where he stays with the Count, is bitten by the Count, and eventually escapes from the castle but not before seeing the Count depart on a cart loaded with coffins. While Hutter recuperates in a hospital after succeeding in his escape, the Count moves into the house across from the Hutters'. The rise in deaths is accredited to a plague thought to have arrived with the Demeter. The "Book of the Vampires" tells Ellen what she must do to end the vampire. The Count meets his doom when Ellen manages to keep him until after cock crow. Best scene is the vampire rising from Ellen's neck after realizing the cock has crowed. As the sun slowly advances on the houses across the street (visible from the window), the Nosferatu attempts to escape. In doing so, he passes the window and is trapped by the sunlight. He 'vaporizes' into a puff of fire on the carpet.

Thanks mate. Geez Kinko did a great job on the restore although the tint is a bit campy ;) I ran a copy through vbub with greyscale filter. Brill !!!

 shemyaza (2010-12-31)

vdub not vbub :)

Thank you kind sir. I LOVE this movie!

All your hard work is very much appreciated over here in London as well as elsewhere as well...Thanks

Thanks for the upload. The quality is good. It is cleaned up well, but the tint does cloud it a little, like looking at it through cataracts. It is not as sharp as another one, but softer.

Saki33 (2011-10-14)

@ shemyaza thanks for the VirtualDub tip. Gray filter makes it more watchable. Looks a lot better gray.

Incredibly fast torrent

Thank you for the upload, great quality.
As for those commenting on the tinting, this was how the film was originally released (see: and served a specific purpose. I can understand how one might find it easier to watch by removing the tinting, but I think you are missing part of the atmosphere of the film.
Instead of running it through vdub (or other program) to use a greyscale filter, simply watch in VLC and turn the saturation down. This way you can retain the film intact in your archive and watch it either way.

all good ,thanks

camaysar (2012-04-01)

Thank you for this spectacular version of Nosferatu, the best and most authentic version ever issued. The tinted picture is very clear, and the music, a reconstruction of the original score, composed by Hans Erdmann, and wonderfully performed by the Saarbrucken Radio Symphony Orchestra directed by Berndt Heller, puts all other pathetic music tracks of this film to shame. Great upload!

Dude, this is AWESOME! You my friend are a connoisseur, and yes I had to spell check that!

I found the Kino version with 1,45GB, 720 x 480 px (originally tinted) with great quality (at least with more quality than this one here).
just google for "Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens / aka Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror (Ultimate Edition) torrent"
The first result will be from "extratorrent". That's the one. It had 5 seeders at the time.

Great torrent, fast and good quality.

tumbarrancho (2013-04-27)

Thank you

JorgePoty (2013-09-22)

I've just watched this movie with live orchestra and chorus! The score was by Pierre Oser and it was beautiful! The film was a restoration from the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau foundation! The quality was marvelous. I'm hoping for a dvd to come out with that restoration and Oser's music.
I have a dvd with this film but the qulity isn't as good as what I saw today. So I needed to download a version with best quality possible.
And this one has great quality! I recommend the download.

As a fairly fresh, huge movie enthusiast, I'm catching up on all of the amazing old movies, I can't wait to watch this one! It's classic written all over it. Thank you very much. :-)
