Review of Nosferatu (1922) by Forrest P — 06 Nov 2009
Nosferatu is a masterpiece, a rare treat, a work of horror art. What makes this movie so great is that very little of it is given in absoluteness. The audience is left, for the most part, to imagine all of the important details. In style with all of the silent films, imagery is heavily relied upon to tell the story, and I can't imagine this story being told in color or with sound. The audience begins to fear the very sight of the vampire.
Max Schrek gives a great performance, and the make up artists did a fantastic job giving him a very unique and customed look. The sight of him is quivering.
Simply put, this is every horror fan's absolute must-see.
10/10.
