The Haunted Castle
Directed by F. W. Murnau
Produced by Uco-Film GmbH, Decla-Bioscop
A Gothic mystery-thriller set in an aristocratic castle where a disgraced count's uninvited arrival threatens to expose dark secrets of murder and betrayal.
The sinister Count Oetsch scandalizes the aristocratic social gathering at Castle Vogelod as he announces his intention to "crash" the festivities. Baroness Safferstätt is expected shortly, and the guests are well-aware of the rumors that Count Oetsch murdered the baroness' late husband. Oetsch refuses to leave, vowing that he will reveal the identity of the real killer. Before the weekend is through, the Count and Baroness will reveal secrets too shocking to be believed!
