Nosferatu is the original Dracula movie and still after eighty years the scariest. ... more
When Bram Stoker's widow refused to grant Murnau the rights to Dracula Murnau and his screenwriter Henrik Galeen simply changed the characters' names and went ahead with the film creating one of the greatest horror movies not just of the silent screen but of all time. Murnau's visionary direction and the chilling performance of Max Schreck in the title role make Nosferatu nothing less than a masterpiece. The print has been restored by the Munchner Filmmuseum and the Cineteca del Comune di Bologna and replicates the tints and tones revealed in the nitrate original. This version also features a new music score by James Bernard who scored many of the classic Hammer horror movies including the 1958 Dracula.

The DVD itself is beautifully restored to crisp quality and the soundtrack is done much the same justice. The lack of extra features is understandable as they probably didnt think about this in 1922! I wouldnt say the film was deathly scary, but on the other hand the tale is a chilling one and is a must see for any horror fan, as it has one of the most famous scenes in horror history - the famous scene where Nosferatu (Max) climbs the stairs to his victims chamber. Using a silent wind up camera, the shot is taken within an eerie dark circle, lit only by the few candles in the castle.
Written around the same period as Castle of Otranto, Nosferatu was at the very forefront of Gothic Horror and set the standards for films of this kind to this very day. I reccommend this to anyone who has a liking in horror, finds silent horror flicks creepy, or somone who is looking for new things to watch.
Advantages: The original and the best Disadvantages: Not for those who dislike silent movies
This is a review for the DVD of the 1922 film Nosferatu, staring Max Schrek as the terrifying Graf Orlock.
The story starts when an estate agent travels over a mountain range to conduct business with a wealthy eccentric nobleman (Orlock), his wife pleads with him not to go as she senses danger, men being men never listen and off he goes on his not so merry way, staight into the path of a vampire! (Will they ever learn, it's horror rule number 3!)
The film is based upon the Bram Stoker character of Dracula, and this got the director into a spot of bother, the Stoker family demanded that the film were to be destroyed, unfortunately this didn't happen in Germany and we can still enjoy this film over 80 years later.
Nosferatu was remade in 1979 and starred Klaus Kinski, although this was also a good film, nothing compares to ...

Advantages: Creepy silence Disadvantages: None, unless you dislike silent movies
Nosferatu was and still is one of the creepiest horrors of all time. The silence throughout the film adds to the atmosphere in a very unsettling way. Nosferatu was originally meant to be based on Bram Stokers Dracula but was denied the rights making the director change the title and vampires name to Count Orlok. It was banned in Sweden because of its graphic nature at the time but the ban was lifted in 1972. Even though it is dated and considered tame in comparison to the more modern horror movies, it still gives off an eerie, dark and moody unnerving feeling to whoever watches it. Nosferatu is a timeless classic and if you enjoy horror films you can watch this and see how it inspired all those that followed in its footsteps. ...
F.W. Murnau's German silent classic is the original--and some say most frightening--DRACULA adaptation, taking Bram Stoker's novel and turning it into a haunting, shadowy dream full of dread. Names had to be changed from the novel when Stoker's wife charged his novel was being filmed without proper permission. Running times vary depending upon versions of the film. Count Orlok, the rodentlike vampire frighteningly portrayed by Max Schreck, is perhaps the most animalistic screen portrayal of a vampire ever filmed. The design was copied by Werner Herzog in his 1979 remake and by Tobe Hooper for his telefilm of Stephen King's SALEM'S LOT that same year. NOSFERATU is an eerie, menacing film that should not be missed.
