Eureka! Entertainment have announced home video releases of an eagerly awaited new restoration of F. W. Murnau's legendary silent cinema horror classic Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922), expertly restored in Germany by the world-renowned Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung (FWMS).
The earliest adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula has become one of the most iconic and of all horror films - and silent films - in the history of cinema, ranked #21 in Empire magazine's 2010 poll of the 100 greatest films in world cinema and included in the recent Critic's Poll by Sight & Sound magazine as one of the 250 greatest films ever made. With an incomparable lead performance as the vampire by Max Schreck - whom some believe to have been an actual vampire, it is the film behind E. Elias Merhige's John Malkovich-starring Shadow of the Vampire and the inspiration behind Werner Herzog's Klaus Kinski-starring 1979 feature adaptation, released theatrically by the BFI on 1 November 2013.
Following a UK & Eire theatrical run where it will open in cinemas nationwide from Friday October 25, 2013, Blu-ray, Dual Format (Blu-ray + DVD) SteelBook and DVD editions featuring a raft of special features to be announced nearer the release date, will be released as part of Eureka! Entertainment's award-winning The Masters of Cinema Series on 18 November 2013. Check out the trailer above.
