F.W. Murnau's treatment of Bram Stoker's Dracula has proven to be the standard by which all others are judged. Effects and techniques have certainly improved but Max Schreck's rendition is still, for me, unequaled. Simply fantastic.

the first great horror film is still a bit frightening nearly 90 years after its release. the poor picture quality adds to the terror making this a film timely made, and the story and running time are perfect for a silent film. a classic that must be seen.

Murnau's exquisite imagery in his most famous film is lost in anything less than the 2007 restored ("ultimate") version. AVOID ALL PUBLIC DOMAIN VERSIONS!
