  One of the earliest (and eeriest) works by the legendary filmmaker F. W. Murnau Schloss Vogeld: Die Enthllung eines Geheimnisses [Castle Vogeld: The Revelation of a Secret often referred to as The Haunted Castle] provides a vital glimpse into the development of the uncanny-suffused expressionistic style that became Murnau's hallmark and legacy. A party of aristocrats assemble at a country manor for an autumn hunt. But a long-lingering question threatens once more to rear its head: who really murdered the Baroness's late husband? With a riveting nightmare sequence that foreshadows the nocturnal fantasias of both Nosferatu and Phantom and a masquerade conceit that looks backward to Feuillade and forward to Murnau's own Die Finanzen des Groherzogs this languorous mood piece represents the latent material that will figure into a master director's later breakthroughs.
