Part 2/7:

The original Nosferatu was born in an era where the shadows of World War I loomed large over Europe. Set against a backdrop of economic instability and political upheaval in Germany, it captured the zeitgeist of a society grappling with its fears and anxieties. It’s no wonder that the themes of fear, life, and death resonate so powerfully within the film. The stark imagery of snowy mountains, ominous castles, and frightened villagers transported audiences to a realm where the supernatural seemed frighteningly real.
