Review of Nosferatu (1922) by Dann M — 06 Oct 2012
It's the silent film that started it all, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror. The film is a loose interpretation of Bram Stoker's Dracula tale, though the names and details have all been slightly changed.
Max Schreck gives a chilling performance as Count Orlok; perhaps the most terrifying portrayal of a vampire ever. The German Expressionist aesthetic is also quite powerful, and enhances the tone and atmosphere of the film.
Yet, the storytelling is rather weak and a bit hard to follow. However, few films have been as influential as Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror.
