Its extrodinary to think that a film made almost 90 years ago could still put a chill in your spine but Nosferatu proves this statement true. And it does it without sound, which for a German film is actually an improvement. Nosferatu manages effortlessly to impose the tension and unease in its audience that every horror film made since then aims to. You may attribute the accomplishment to the perfect casting choice or the unintentionally jittery and stuttered camerawork and editing, or just some combination of the elements. Whatever way you view it, Nosferatu succeeds and likely will succeed in being creepy 100 years from now.

my 1978 remake had sound, but it was still good :D
ReplyDeletei do find German language a little bit distracting in film now that i think about it. it doesn't flow like the Romance languages, and it isn't succinct like the Asian ones. German demands (VERLANGT! JETZT!!) full attention.
ReplyDeletealthough German IS the optimal language for shouting. all shouting should be done in German.
