1922's Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror has stood as my absolute favorite movie since I first saw it 18 years ago.
With Robert Eggers's adaptation on the horizon, I figured now would be a great time to look back at the film that gave birth to the cinematic vampire, exploring its influences, impact, and lasting legacy.
