One of the earliest horror films, at that time, instead of being overused and suddenly popping out to frighten, it created an atmosphere, created a unique appearance, used shadows to express attacks, and then the audience made up the rest of the content. With long eyebrows, pointed ears, big eyes, a bald head, a hunchback, and claw hands, the sideways silhouette on the stairs has become a unique scene in film history. The coffin is automatically mounted on the carriage, and the curtain on the boat is automatically lifted, using the skills of stop-motion photography. Combining the historical background with the infectious disease (cholera) in 1838, it was explained that it was a germ brought by vampires. After the sun came out, the vampires were eliminated and the infectious disease disappeared.

The film is based on Bram Stoker's original "Count Dracula", the first vampire film in film history. This film uses a very realistic approach to deal with it, not only abandoning the expressionism of "Dr. Caligari", but even replacing the studio set with real street scenes, but Murnau is still chilling when creating a gloomy atmosphere. . The ancient castle on the mountain is looming in the thick fog, the vampire is slowly passing the deck on the bumpy ship, etc. The atmosphere of many natural environments is covered with a strange color. Murnau experimentally uses deep focus photography in this film. There is boundless potential in the composition of the images, resulting in one of the most poetic horror films, far surpassing other Dracula films in the visual imagination.
