Review of Nosferatu (1922) by Adam K — 23 Oct 2010
Made in an era that defined the earliest forms and advancements in film making, this is by far one of the scariest films ever made. It is considered as (and I would agree) the greatest Dracula adaptation ever brought to the screen.
It has an eerie and haunting tone, with Max Schreck's make-up job showcasing an image that is truly terrifying for its time. The presence of Count Orlok is also very creepy, appearing at moments where you would not expect it.
The film's age also gives a very dark atmosphere, being obvious to the viewer that most of its cast and crew are deceased, thus giving the feeling that you are watching collected footage of those who are no longer with us.
The creative use of score will grip you from start to finish, colelctively putting together a truly impressive picture that will remain a staple in cinema history.
