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.

what a classic silent film! definitely the scariest film from the 1920's.
Classic! 🤍
I want to like it more than I did, but unfortunately for me the movie is too old and it shows its age a bit. I did had a great time with it and the lack of dialogue didn't really bother me. But it does make the movie feels longer than it should have been with it. The old quality does gives an unnerving feel to it which I like. Definitely would recommend if you have the time to watch it, but I won't say it's a must watch.
pure classic german expressionism
Iconic of course, the count is fantastic but facial & physical acting from everyone is amazing... also the score! Horror fan must see- if you only watch one silent film in your lifetime, it should be this one
