Nosferatu:
A Symphony of Horror



Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (Eine Symphonie des Grauens), made more than a hundred years ago, is returning to the big screen at the House Samyan cinema in Bangkok. It will be shown there in January 2025.

F.W. Murnau’s classic film, an unauthorised adaptation of Dracula, is a masterpiece of horror and German Expressionism. It contains some of the most iconic images in silent cinema, especially the sequence in which the vampire, seen only as a shadow, glides up a staircase and extends his talons to clutch his victim’s heart.

Nosferatu was also shown in Bangkok earlier this year at GalileOasis, and in 2018 at Cinema Winehouse. It had a gala screening at the Scala cinema in 2016, as the opening film of the 3rd Silent Film Festival in Thailand (เทศกาลภาพยนตร์เงียบ ประเทศไทย ครั้งที่ 3).
