About The Haunted Castle (1921)

The Haunted Castle (German: Schloß Vogelöd, lit. 'Castle Vogelöd') is a 1921 silent mystery film directed by F. W. Murnau.

A group of men gathers for a multi-day hunt at Castle Vogelöd, hosted by Lord von Vogelschrey, but torrential rain ruins their plans, and the guests while away their time inside the castle. Count Johann Oetsch, who was not invited, also arrives. He is shunned by the other hunters because he is rumoured to have shot his brother Peter several years earlier. This rumour is fuelled by a retired judge. The brother's widow, the remarried Baroness Safferstätt, is also expected, making the situation awkward for the host.
