Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror) (Nosferatu the Vampire) Reviews and Ratings



  • March 23, 2008
    One of the first films I studied in Film class. However, its a very old film and you have to be in the right frame of mind for it.

    A masterpiece...it's really most of what one can write about this visual curse upon us. This is 1922, and back then, darkness was darker than today, with absolute power to grow absent of light, ensuring that peoples fears stood cold in the depths of their minds.. I can only IMAGI...( read more)NE living back in the twenties and experience this movie.. What I consider one of the greatest fascination here, is the arquetype's representation of the vampire. Flawless. A true incarnation. A cursed soul, damned, abandoned and physically disturbing. The story is well known to the masses - Stoker inspired - and the soundtrack......is just perfect. A dark orquestra mixed with near monochromatic grainy image throughout the entire movie is just enough to collapse the surrounding reality, force fed on banality and ill light. And, as being a "mute" film, your focus always goes to the faces...the looks, the expressions, and they do tell most of the story. It's amazing how verbal silence empowers the language of the flesh. The all concept of the film is simple enough to strike directly into the primal bases of fear, but yet utterly complex on the approach of the actual blood thirst behavior. I know this is VERY old, but seeing this masterpiece nowadays, really impregnates the air with an anti-commercial feeling of honesty, a chronological reverse fist in the face of hollywood whore money making crib, but that's another story... If you are TRULY compelled to primal feelings and dark landscapes, this Symphonie des Grauens is sure to arouse black painted moods in you, and take you back to an "age of legends and fears"...

    You will be surprised at just how creepy a silent film can be.

    The "birth of dracula" on film and he's never been scarier.

    A classic of silent-era German expressionism.
  • March 11, 2008
    A classic with its own beauty, but not for anyone.
  • March 9, 2008
    The best vampire movie.
  • March 8, 2008
    Nosferatu has got to be my favorite silent movie. Max Schreck does an outstanding job of playing Dracula. There are so many creepy scenes in this. The way the director uses shadows in ingenious. Definitely worth a check.
  • March 7, 2008
    Very good, considering it's time and that it is a lot better than Coppala's version.
  • March 3, 2008
    la représentation la plus fidele di vrai Dracula

  • January 6, 2008
    I just finished viewing this first, albeit unofficial, screen version of the classic horror novel by Bram Stoker. Excellent film, for movie buffs and for those who dislike recent, more stylish, vampire flicks, as Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece "Bram Stoker's Dracula" & Neil J...( read more)ordan's "Interview With The Vampire" from the novel by Anne Rice.

  • December 11, 2007
    Some aspect of direction are really interesting, but the story is making us loosing interest as it goes further and further, but it's still goot and the experience worth the watch.
  • December 8, 2007
    The scariest movie you'll HAVE to pay attention to. Artistically & visually movie magic

  • November 28, 2007
    It's hard for me to sit through a silent movie, but I was interested in seeing this adaptation of the story of Dracula. Amazingly overacted by all cast except for the lead, Max Schreck. The ending sort of just happened without any of the brouhaha of today's films. It's worth a vi...( read more)ewing just to see how movies were done in the old days.
  • November 22, 2007
    J'ai entendu dire que les acteurs qui jouait avec le célčbre Nosferatu avait vraiment peur de l'acteur. Il avait des dents longues, un visage long, des grandes oreilles et des ongles pointus. Mouhahahha.
