Nosferatu
Directed by F.W. Murnau
F.W. Murnau's silent version of DRACULA is one of the greatest horror films ever made, thanks in large part to Max Schreck's still-terrifying performance as the bald vampire Nosferatu, sporting razor sharp fangs and long pointy fingernails. Murnau's brilliant use of scary shadows and atmospheric dread influenced countless vampire films and TV series - including DARK SHADOWS, BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and the recent horror comedy WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS. Every horror fan should try to watch this at least once a year, in our opinion.

The people giving this movie a one star and calling us “sheep”, you’re so contrarian, we get it. This movie is amazing and I’m so sorry your pea brain can’t comprehend it.

Still very visually striking in many scenes. A display of Murnau's talents and innovative cinema instincts. The cataclysm that inspired so many of the greats. Deserves it's place in horror infamy. I wish I could click on Delbert85's account to see what he does consider good. "Another Evil", "Black Christmas" (2019), "Halloween 6".
For a very old film, it's still quite entertaining to watch. You can tell that the makeup artist(s) had too much fun working on Knock and Orlov
