English Summary:

Nosferatu the Vampyre is a 1979 West German horror film written and directed by Werner Herzog. Its original German title is Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht (Nosferatu: Phantom of the Night). The film is set primarily in 19th-century Wismar, Germany and Transylvania, and was conceived as a stylistic remake of F. W. Murnau's 1922 German Dracula adaptation Nosferatu. The picture stars Klaus Kinski as Count Dracula, Isabelle Adjani as Lucy Harker, Bruno Ganz as Jonathan Harker, and French artist-writer Roland Topor as Renfield. There are two different versions of the film, one in which the actors speak English, and one in which they speak German.

Jonathan Harker is an estate agent in Wismar, Germany. His employer, Renfield, informs him that a nobleman named Count Dracula wishes to buy a property in Wismar, and assigns Harker to visit the Count and complete the lucrative deal. Leaving his young wife Lucy behind in Wismar, Harker travels to Transylvania, to the castle of Count Dracula, in a journey that lasts four weeks, carrying with him the deeds and documents needed to sell the house to the Count. On his journey, Harker stops at a village inn, where the locals plead for him to stay away from the accursed castle, providing him with details of Dracula's vampirism. Ignoring the villagers' pleas as superstition, Harker continues his journey, ascending the Borgo Pass on foot and eventually arriving at Dracula's castle, where he meets the Count, a strange, almost rodent-like man, with large ears, pale skin, sharp teeth, and long fingernails.

German Summary:

Jonathan Harker, der mit seiner Frau Lucy im Wismar des 19. Jahrhunderts lebt, wird beauftragt, nach Transsilvanien zu reisen, um mit Graf Dracula über den Verkauf eines Hauses zu verhandeln. In der Nähe des Schlosses lebende Zigeuner warnen ihn vor dem Grafen und weigern sich, Harker bei seiner Weiterreise zu helfen, so dass er allein zum Schloss geht. Dort wird er von Graf Dracula empfangen und bewirtet. Ohne den Vertragstext gelesen zu haben, unterzeichnet Dracula, nachdem er ein Bildnis von Harkers Frau Lucy gesehen hat. In der kommenden Nacht wird Harker von Dracula heimgesucht und gebissen. Der Vampir reist nun per Schiff in einem Sarg nach Wismar. Der schwer erkrankte und bleicher werdende Harker kehrt ebenfalls in seine Heimatstadt zurück, allerdings auf dem Landweg.

Hungarian Summary:

Jonathan Erdélybe utazik főnöke megbízásából. Ott találkoznia kell a gazdag gróffal, aki házat akar venni Wismarban. Jonathan felesége, Lucy, marasztalni akarja férjét, mert rossz előérzete van, ám őt nem lehet meggyőzni és végül elindul. Jonathan nem is sejti, hogy milyen bajba kerül, amikor megismerkedik a gróffal, de akkor már késő, hiszen a gróf Wismarba azért akar eljutni, hogy pusztulást és halált vigyen oda. Vajon ki tudja útját állni ennek a sötét lelkű gonosznak?
