Although not recent in terms of when it was made it is a newly watched film on my part. One of my first viewings of a silent film and the one which has made me a fan of the era. This is one of those films that is truly legendary in status, because even though a silent film isn?t ... ...( 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 )
I've recently read Stoker's Dracula, and in this case, it sort of got in the way (if you've got patience, I recommend the read). Nosferatu is a free adaptation of the book, so I was a little fixated on the differences.
Although I really liked how it was filmed, I never really go... ...( read more )
A fantastic film that really does continue to hold its own in the horror genre. There's really not much more to say than Nosferatu is an absolute classic, and all fans of the genre are urged to seek it out.
Based illegally on Bram Stoker's Dracula, F. W. Murnau's film is undeniably the best and probably the most faithful of the films based on the novel. That's just my opinion.
The movie itself gives a look into the history of not only the character of Dracula, but of modern day ... ...( read more )
"Is this your wife? What a lovely throat."
Nosferatu is one of the most famous horror films of all time. Not only that, it also features one (if not more) of the most iconic scenes in Film history. But how many people have actually sat through the entire film? Less... ...( read more )
Iconic movie that hasn't lost a bit of it's enigmatic aura. Aside of an odd moment where Orlok is walking by the streets carrying his coffin, without anyone even noticing that. The rest of the film manages to keep it's creepy atmosphere the entire time.
Despite some impressive visuals and a great performance by Max Schreck, I was bored during most of the film. Also, the protagonist has to be the dumbest schmuck in silent film.
"Not so fast, my young friend! No-one can outrun their fate."...( read more )
F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent film Nosferatu is a groundbreaking masterpiece of the vampire genre: a truly fascinating film that is the essential blueprint for all vampire movies that were to follow. Mu...
No one does it to you like Max Shreck's horrifying portrayal of the immortal walking corpse Count Nosferatu. Murnau conjures up the supernatural with immeasurable power.
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!
"Nosferatu! Doesn't this name sound like the very midnight call of Death?"
One of the best adaptations of Bram Stoker's Dracula so far, and probably the spookiest silent movie. I just LOVE some of the scenes and their eerie atmosphere created by the shadows. Very impressi... ...( read more )
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 )
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!
The original black and white silent movie story of the Nosferatu vampyr legend.
One of the first silent horror movies I ever saw, this Nosferatu is creepy, and the shadow scene at the end is pure creepy genius. A must-see, but make sure you don't get distracted in parts, or yo... ...( read more )

truth be told, i was somewhat disappointed. i was expecting photographic mastery of the highest order and unending tension. what i got was a pretty simple popcorn-style movie with very few moments of real fear. clearly, however, this is far more advanced than even the cabinet of ... ...( read more )
I had to study this film, because I did an essay on it in Uni, but jeese its wierd, I didn't really enjoy it, I can see its a great, but somethings really do date! Its not the best Vampire movie I ever saw, but I love the later remake!
Today it may not look that scary but imagine what those poor viewers must have felt like when they first saw this horror film. Scarier and better than any other vampire film.
tip: Max Schreck's last name means "fear" in German.
a lot of fun. It's a silent movie with a spooky feel. Nosferatu looks great, especially those weird teeth! Strong good winning over evil theme.
la pelicula mas vieja q e visto... otro clasico... uno de las mas importantes peliculas de horror de todos los tiempos...
What can I say? Visually fantastic and has one of the most legendary ending scenes of cinematic history.
