Viewing Tips
Among the key characters in the plot of the movie, Thomas Hutter is the real estate agent who travels to the Carpathian Mountains, in order, through the wildest areas, to reach Orlok’s palace and would-State in Wisborg in Germany. During the journey, Hutter becomes familiar with the person of the sinister Count. In the meantime, his beloved wife Ellen is tormented by nightmarish dreams regarding the incoming doom to be released by Orlok. It is fear and isolation with more sinister elements concerning the supernatural, which form the core of the plot.
Fear of the Unknown: The film is about fear that human beings experience for anything beyond the borders of their lives. The symbol of this fear is Count Orlok.
Loneliness: Physical isolation and another layer of emotional isolation are now presented completely in the film as Hutter goes beyond the boundaries.
The Supernatural over Humanity: Struggle between humans and powers from the other side is really what the story involves, hence making this whole concept more vulnerable or human.
Disease, Pestilence that Orlok characterizes: The arrival of Count Orlok is like bringing a sickness-a chaos in general-and death to Wisborg.
These were groundbreaking pioneering techniques through which Murnau made the film extraordinarily terrifying.
Shadow Play: The shadows were used extensively for suspense, making them a symbol of Orlok's presence.
