Disc 2 :
Original Black & White version

An Estate Agent's Clerk (Gustav von Wangenheim) in the city of Bremen leaves his bride (Greta Schroeder) to conduct business in the distant Carpathian mountain with an eccentric client named Graf Orlak (Max Schreck). During a long and hazardous jorney, the closer he gets to his destination, the more terrified are the people he meets. What he finds when he reached Orlok's sinister castle is enough to make the flesh of the most devoted horror fan creep.

On first release, the critics were divided and the paying public were often bewildered by the director's brilliant use of time and space distortion in this unparalleled horror masterpiece. It was the very first film to be based on the Dracula character created by Bram Stocker. Names were changed and the location switched from Transylvania to the city of Bremen, but the Stoker estate, who had not given permission for the film recognised the similarities and sued the film's German producers. An English judge ordered that all copies of the film to be destroyed and the negative burned. Fortunately the order was not enforceable in Germany and so a print survived.

Truly a film to see before you die. 5/5

Below are scans from the UK dvd. Useful to look at the back cover for details such as subtitles and special features sometimes missed in the text above. Time and again 'product descriptions' are wrong or are missing crucial information so it's really worth checking the scans below. If subtitles aren't mentioned on the back cover then they won't be on the Dvd. Click on each for bigger scans. This comes with an informative booklet which I have scanned below.
