NOSFERATU(1922)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics
Another, and hopefully the last, silent movie
in this set! This is the first filmed stroy of
Dracula, and I suppose at the time it was recieved
with open arms! As for me, I was pretty bored through
it all! There are some boutes of humor, as in when
the count sees the picture of Hutter's wife and
exclaims "Is this your wife? What a lovely throat!"
But other than that, it's just not my cup of blood! C
From a reviewer from IMDb.com:
This is pure (true) vampire film. Deeply
Gothic sets and costuming, a wickedly evil
vampire and a more than scary visual atmosphere
in this black and white silent horror movie
classic.
What I am not crazy about is the film's
score (the music we hear)- most of it is
not very Gothic nor suspenseful or mysterious
sounding enough for me. It's too "cutesy"
sounding for my taste - and that ruins the
atmosphere that is created within an otherwise
good movie.
All in all this is a pretty good movie to
watch and Max Schreck is one of the creepiest
vampires to ever graze the screen. It is worth
watching if you like your vampires extremely
scary.
