Before plumbing the depths of horror and despair with such movies as Nosferatu (1922) and Faust (1926), Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau crafted a moody drama of a storm-bound manor and the grim thriller that Lurks inside: The Haunted Castle (1921). A looking celebration is interrupted by the arrival of a infamous Count (Lothar Mehnert), who’s believed to have murdered his brother. The uninvited visitor units in movement an elaborate plot to resurrect the ghosts of the previous and convey to gentle the darkish secret that lies at the middle of his brother’s loss of life. Breaking away from the darkish, foreboding dramas for which he was changing into recognized, Murnau explored the realm of gentle comedy in a playful espionage thriller reminisent of Ernst Lubitsch: The Finances of the Grand Duke. Harry Liedtke stars as a “benevolent dictator” who should protect the tiny nation of Abacco by heading off collectors, wooing a rich Russian princess (Mady Christians), and evading a band of demonic conspirators (together with Nosferatu himself, Max Schreck).
