I don't think I had the best print (or soundtrack) available for viewing, so an updated version (ala Metropolis) would probably help things along. That being said, Nosferatu has an incredible atmosphere and Max Schreck is simply creepy as they get at Count Orlock. If you like classic horror, make time for this.

"You can't escape destiny by running away." The creepy score, realistic make-up, and set location was creatively executed to bring the horror. Harker leaves Nina to be at Count Dracula's castle. He reads a book "In 1443 the first Nosferatu was born" Notes about vampires are displayed. Nina gets sick with a disease. Only a woman with a pure heart can cure the disease. Only qualm I had was the snail paced movements in certain scenes. Nosferatu the Vampire is an influential horror film, the simple yet elegant direction and performances made it horrific.

There's a lot of creepy atmosphere conjured up through the brilliant use of shadow and lighting in this film. It effectively sparked a lot of the standard elements of vampire films still used today, but it's much scarier than most other films in the genre.

At 85 years old as of the time of of this review Nosferatu is one of the the most creepy horror films to date. In this age, where special effects have been taking the lead and plot is a secondary character, where thrills are represented by a loud noise, followed by an unexpected apparition, Nosferatu shines. This is a movie that preys on your inner fears, where slowly opening doors play with your imagination and make you feel scared just because of what might happen next, where the crude special effects are not the goal, but a medium.

The best of all the Dracula/Vampire movies, a great movie myth is Max Shreck who play the Vampire didn't have to wear any make-up. Creepy!!
