A chilling horror based on the classic novel by Bram Stoker, Nosferatu is a must see horror flick. Very unknown and underrated this film was made in 1922 starring famous German actor Max Schreck as the repugnant Nosferatu.
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.
