    This is my favorite film of all time. Particularly with the tv soundtrack featured here from the 60’s.

    Silent films, particularly German Expressionist films, have a surreal and otherworldly feel to them. Everyone from this era has passed away, and all you see is the remnants of a world long gone.
    And then there’s Nosferatu.

    Nosferatu is inhuman. Played by a man which few barely know of, Max Shreck’s performance is so uncanny, they made a movie based on the filming of Nosferatu, except the lead role is (supposedly) a real vampire. (Shadow of the Vampire 2001 with Willem Dafoe and John Malkovich)

    Watching this film is like being in a deep dream from a coma. The characters are oddly over zealous and exaggerated. Even before Nosferatu is on screen, you get the impression that something isn’t right with this world.
    It’s when Nosferatu first appears on screen though when that dynamic is completely turned on it’s head. Everything it comes in contact with brings death and genuine fear. The once overly confident protagonist is now belittled to having his entire life destroyed by something completely out of his depth and comprehension, and it breaks him.

    It’s not the greatest film of all time, nor is it the best of director F.W. Murnau’s works, but from a visual experience, it is enchanting unlike any other film. This is THE old horror film. What you watch late at night in the silence of your room.

    And I think it’s 100th year of relevancy should be noted on ktt2. That is all.

    Eggers dropping his version this year would’ve been so f***ing hard

    I need to revisit it. Was hoping they’d release a new 4K transfer or something.
