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.
I just don't have the patient to sit and watch a black and white silent movie.
Still holds up today and still remains incredibly creepy. Max Schreck creates an icon of the horror film with his repulsive take on Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'. The effects and lighting make it visually stunning, whilst the story is expertly paced. The only thing that disappointed m...( read more)
A classic to most people, but I did like it myself. I am not sure if this is the best of vampire movies, but it certainly is the creepiest I have ever seen. Never take Silent films for granite here.
Glad i finally watched a silent movie and found it interesting but......
A real estate agent sets out to sell the house across the street to Count Orlok who's more interested in the neck of the agents wife than he is in the house. Nosferatu manages to still work after decades. It's creepy and surprisingly very well made despite being from the 1920's.
Ce classique, qui a propulsé Murnau vers la gloire tout en lui amenant un procès de la part de la veuve de Bram Stoker, a bien failli ne pas survivre lorsque cette dernière a ordonné la destruction de tous les négatifs originaux. Fort heureusement, il est aujourd'hui enfin dispon...( read more)
an absolute classic for the genre and still maintains a melancholic ambience, murnau introduces his aesthetic of striking images to wonderful acclaim, its cultural resonance remains subtle and yet powerful all the same
The first, and arguably the scariest, adaptation of the Bram Stoker novel Dracula. The Stoker estate sued to get this film stopped, so some names and minor plot points were changed, as well as moving the action from England to Germany. But otherwise, it's the same story. The main...( read more)
From 1922 this silent film though in need of some serious restoration, was still very enjoyable to watch. Greta Schroder is lovely as Nina, Max Schreck as Orlok is creepy and sinister. A must see for silent film buffs.
A distinctly different telling of Dracula. Count "Orlock" is nothing like that character created by Lugosi and continued by Christopher Lee. This count is far more creepy; almost rat-like. But this version, to me, is the definitive version of this story. Just look at that picture...( read more)
This was the first film version of Bram Stoker's Dracula. It\'s a silent film with crude special effects, but there are a few classic scenes that defined the vampire character. The movie ends abruptly by having the vampire destroyed by sunlight. This was the first time this weakn...( read more)
"Nosferatu" is to my knowledge the first full-length vampire movie ever made, if not, it sure is the first film version of 'Dracula'. Taking the story of Bram Stoker's "Dracula", just changing words like 'vampire' to 'nosferatu' (romanian for 'vampire') and the name 'Count Dracul...( read more)
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.
It was the first still movie I ever fully watched. I think it was pretty entertaining and even had a creppy part. Not to mention what? it's like the first vampire movie right?? gotta give it cred
Nosferatu, as well as being one of my outright favourite movies of all time, it remains the second most creepiest movie I have ever seen (losing out to Inland Empire obviously), from beginning to end it has this macabre, eerie look that never lets up, And with so many contemporar...( read more)
I saw this on the big screen in San Francisco. The best vampire movie I've seen.
Outdated and very drawn out. However, it succeeds in being creepy in places - they are few and far between.
A brilliantly made film!!! This is a film that I have been wanting to see for the longest time and finally did last night and boy was I impressed. Now...I definitely don't think this is a film for everyone. Due to the fact that it was made in 1922 I know a lot of people don't hav...( read more)
A landmark epic in vampire cinema. If you crave vampire movies and you haven't seen Nosferatu, turn in your fangs!
Better than Lugosi's Dracula. This one's actually scary...even today.
Sparkle, my ass! Now, THIS is a Vampire! Look for the remastered version with soundtrack music by Type O Negative, it's fantastic!
anyone that absolutely hates old movies, silent films especially, need not watch. If you're looking for a nice in color, modern day, spoken word movie that goes along with this classic vamp flick, try Shadow of the Vampire. Black comedy about the supposed "making" of this movie. ...( read more)
One of the required horror movies, or vampyre movies. Not bad considering what year it was made.
Expresionismo alemán. La primer adaptación al celuloide del vampiro Drácula. Escalofriante.
Gloomy castles, tenebrous landscapes, ugly vampires...this is where it all began. Max Schreck's Count Orlock--a rodent-like, rail-thin and sickly-looking vampire--is such a startling figure, it's no wonder this movie has influenced similar vampires, and it continues to be thoroug...( read more)
Not too shabby for a classic. If i wasn't prone to horror movies today, it would have totally given me chills!
Murnau's silent gem, to me, the ONLY Vampire movie, as frightening today, as it was in 1922.
muy buena..y da mucho miedo...para la epoca,en verdad ese actor sin maquillaje ya parece vampiro
It is the one the only and the original i uess the film is so amazingthat is because it's the first of it's kind its basically the first horror movie it is amzing spine chillingand it scared te crap out of me but I still want to watch it anothr million times watch it for youself ...( read more)
Nosferatu is a classic 1922 silent film that is often revered as one of the greatest horror films of all time. It is based off Bram Stroker's book Dracula.
Silent films are a bit troublesome to watch in this generation, but this is one of the few that engages and ...( read more)
