Review of Nosferatu (1922) by James C — 06 May 2009
Atmospheric and very chilling for a 1920s horror, horror today would be nothing without Bram Stoker's orignal Dracula novel and this adaptation is suitably spooky; great use of light and dark and long shots to create atmosphere and tension.
Director Murnau's idea to only have Nosferatu on the screen for about 10 minutes of the film's 90 minute run time is also ingenious. A film that is silent for a reason. Try a remake and I bet that it wouldn't be as chilling with loads of big budget Hollywood effects.
