Movie Night: Nosferatu.

Review #256: Nosferatu. Cast Max Schreck (Count Orlok), Gustav von Wangenheim (Thomas Hutter), Greta Schröder (Ellen Hutter), Alexander Granach (Knock), Georg H. Schnell (Harding), Ruth Landshoff (Ruth), and John Gottowt (Professor Bulwer) Directed by F. W. Murnau. Review To begin with, this is the first silent film ever reviewed here (along with the first 1920s film reviewed), and it is the first film from Germany reviewed here (while being the 5th world cinema film). And after 90 years, this film still works in frights of delight. Originally this was an adaptation of Dracula until the Stoker estate sued for the right reason of the film company not actually having the film rights to do Dracula. But nonetheless, the film is still useful. Schreck is genuinely terrifying due to the effects, which give it a weird style that works in its own right. As a silent film, it works on its own merit. All in all, a good, if not great film. Overall, I give it 10 out of 10 stars.
