How it scared people
The vibe
Stoker's widow sued and won: the court ordered every print burned. Enough survived to give us Max Schreck's Orlok, who is not a seducer but an infestation — bald, taloned, arriving with the rats and the plague. Murnau shot real locations and then let sunrise do the killing, which is the rule every vampire film since has either obeyed or made a point of breaking.

Nosferatu is rated R by the MPA. We score it 3/5 for jump scares, 2/5 for gore and 5/5 for lingering dread, over 132 minutes. Very little blood — the hard part here is atmosphere and aftermath, not graphic content. Older teens and adults — less for what it shows than for how long it stays with you.
We rate what the film does — scares, gore, dread — not scene-level content like language or nudity, which we don't track.
