I have to admit that watching Nosferatu ended up being a bit of an academic exercise for me, in the "Wow, I can't believe they did that! In 1922!" sense. There are some genuinely creepy moments here, but unfortunately they've been so frequently parodied and referenced and internalized in our cultural subconscious in such a way that they didn't have as big an impact on me as they undoubtedly would've otherwise.

Didn't know it would be so fit for quarantine - this seminal adaptation of Stoker's Dracula reframes the creature as embodiment of the plague. Some standout imagery and shadowplay, especially in act IV. Robert Eggers is doing an iteration soon and you can guess which shots he'll reference. Orlok manages to be both nightmarish and ridiculous at once (at least somewhat intentionally), an effective combo echoed in my favorite modern vampires - BOB and DIO.

One of the first horror movies ever made, this classic still works nearly a century later. The shots of Schreck are always memorable: sometimes bold, sometimes almost pathetic (yet still menacing). Ignoring the importance of Nosferatu to cinema, it's still a ton of fun to watch.

The German expressionist horror classic still manages to inspire a bit of fright through Max Schreck's iconic "Count Orlok". However while most of the scenes with "Nosferatu" are still creepy today, the story never managed to interest me. Although honestly, I'm not really a big "Dracula" fan either, and you know, come to think about it, I'm not really sure I even like vampires that much, and ummm...yeah, point is, all that aside, the influence of this film can still be seen throughout the genre.

Combined with how it's made, sometimes the way an old movie looks helps immersion. I can't quite explain it but it feels like, to some degree, I was watching something that actually happened , like vampires are real. Anyway, obviously a classic, amazing set design. Schreck gives an otherworldly performance and steals the show. Normally old horror movies don't creep me out that much but there are scenes here that legitimately scared me. Some scenes are kind of laughable, though.

A true classic, this horror film won't scare but will enchant with gorgeous visuals and the iconic performance of Schreck. I was impressed with some of the special effects they managed to pull off in Ye Olden Day. There's a lot to love here, and how can one not grin at the sight of Orlok having to lug his own coffin through the streets of Bremen? The pace was decent; the scenes did not feel drawn out at all and only near the end does it slow down a bit.

Maybe not the masterpiece people make it out to be, the pacing is a bit off at times, same goes for the music which wasn't constantly enthralling. One amazing aspect though is how great the film looks after so many years, production values held up well and Max Schreck as Orlok is bone-chillingly hypnotizing. One of the best horror pics I've seen, recommended !!!

Scary, haunting, and very powerful, "Nosferatu" is one of the best horror films pre-1970, with some of the most terrifying and unforgettable of horror sequences. For its great horror quality and its iconic examination of dread, this film was well ahead of its time, and to this day, manages to be just as horrifying as it was upon original release.

Rewatch. Still pretty spooky. Amazing score (Eureka's Hans Erdmann reconstruction). I guess the book passages can be a bit long but it's not like it's Mabuse the Gambler. Did I mention Max Schreck's body posture and fingers are just creepy? Though he is silly at times, like when he's the coachman. Fav scenes: anytime Schreck iconically slowly comes toward the camera (doorframe or rising up in the boat); his shadowy hand grasping at her heart.

Always hard to judge something this old. Schreck is truly creepy and the visuals are unbelievably ahead of their time--shadows were never better than German expressionism. But it's also hard not to see anti-Semitism and xenophobia here.

Some pretty great sequences and images that you're probably better off watching on Youtube. The pace is narcoleptic, and it contains some pretty egregious padding (someone please explain to me why Knock is in more than one scene). The version I watched held most of the intertitles so long that I was able to read them more than three times, and I'm a slow reader.

Praised for the horrific vividness of its imagery, Murnau's classic horror no longer scares like it once presumably did. What makes it effective, however, is its dreamlike atmosphere, and the (Freudian) psychological approach that Murnau brings to the material. At its very core, Nosferatu is a complex look at man and his relationship to nature, a fact established by some impressive crosscutting midstream. Along with Halloween, it's the best horror about the return of the repressed.

Nosferatu is a film that even today looks fantastic. However, my issue with it is something I feel with most Dracula adaptations - the story moves way too slowly with too much down time. I find myself getting bored often, and it's not the film's fault, it's just the source material.

Much has been written of this film's legacy, with little for me to add. Of course the imagery and atmosphere are fantastic. I adore the third act in particular, wherein Orlok's funeral march from Transylvania to Wisborg is related to fearsome and grotesque predators of the natural world, all the while sowing the seeds of plague in his wake, and which in some translations contains the greatest intertitle of any silent film I've seen: "The deathship has a new captain."

But it’s quite good 
The simplistic plot is easy to follow and the scenes with Max Schreck as Count Orlok are  visceral and haunting

Any scene with Orlok is stunning and perfect but the story itself is a bit loose and the other characters are very bland. I totally see why it's considered a masterpiece and I did enjoy it, just wish the story had been changed a bit more to highlight Orlok more and make things a bit less confusing (for example the stuff with head estate agent is irrelevant and confusing)

A true horror classic, not a museum piece even if Nosferatu occasionally looks comical (thinking of him mugging as he leaves the hold of the ship) to modern eyes. He certainly doesn't look comical in the dark, heavily shadowed shot of this nightmare creature feasting on the neck of a young girl in her bed. An image to be burned into the subconscious if there ever was one. It's visually fabulous, influencing horror forever.

So masterfully shot it's almost unbelievable that this is nearly 100 years old. Though age has stripped it of much of its ability to truly frighten, it's a taut, suspenseful film with its fair share of creepy shots and is as captivating as ever. In every technical aspect, it's just about perfect.

Legendary granddaddy of vampire movies (and horror movies in general) falls victim to slight stodginess in its early stages, but it’s all setting the table for Schreck’s entrance who proves one of cinema’s distinctive (and chilling) characters, especially when combined with Murnau’s expert staging and lighting; the shipbound sequence has lost none of its power to creep. Plague sequences (flavoured with Spanish flu phobia) give the film a fresh, modern resonance for COVID plagued 2023!

I have no doubt that in 1922, this was one of the scariest movies out there. The Count is still pretty creepy 100 years later, but the horror is pretty tame compared to modern movies. Impressive camerawork for the era. Unfortunately, my version had pretty poor Slavic melodies that didn't quite fit the film ("From the New World"?). Surprised they included Van Helsing when he wasn't a major part of the plot.

By 2016 standards it's a stretch to call "Nosferatu" scary - eerie is probably more suitable. Of course, it's a little unfair to judge a film that way. So on the one hand I really appreciate the - occasionally genuinely creepy - atmosphere Murnau creates through his successful use of shadows. On the other hand "Nosferatu" is pretty slow and bereft of a big climax of any sort. Murnau succeeds in creating some iconic gothic imagery but his fragmentary direction fails to set the story on fire.

This is another film that is considered a classic. You see all the elements of modern vampire stories in this film including special effects like super fast speed. Nonetheless, by modern standards this film falls short of entertaining. Billed as a symphony of horror, it should evoke some fear in the viewer. The only fear I experienced was the fear of falling asleep during the movie, that's how engaging it was. I cannot recommend it outside of a film history class.

I yearn for the days when you didn't need a chest waxing, pedicure & mascara to be a vampire. Whenever Schreck is on screen, this is great. Orlock's appearance (especially the long fingers), his posture and the way he moves are all perfectly creepy, and Murnau's little tricks with shadows & jump cuts are used to great effect. But the narrative is a bit muddled and past the halfway point becomes a liability.

Many 'moderners' suggest that this film is dated, and down-right 'cheesy' almost 90 years after the fact. But, to be quite frank, I've rarely seen films that are this hypnotic, mystifying, foreboding and morbid all in one. It's an exemplary example of cinema, and an artefact that that has much beauty and value all these years later.

This film really isn't about the scares. It's more about the creeps. However, it's atmosphere, it's mood, it's disturbing lead performance, and it's brisk pacing all add up to a consistent, but building feeling of dread throughout the film. Several of Murnau's edits are absolutely brilliant, and the way he's able to thread together the narrative in two or three different locations simultaneously is truly remarkable.

(2006 FWMS restoration) Where Stoker’s Dracula is about the triumph of (British) civilised rationality over the (Eastern, barbaric) mysterious, this is a classic tale of fear of an unknowable Nature appeased through sacrifice, atavistic in the 20th century. The set design is not bad but seems awfully literal in comparison to Caligari, and it isn’t scripted any better. Some moments in the last act (which were reportedly Murnau’s own idea), but overall quite unimpressive.

It's definitely a bit slow by today's standards, but this is still a very creative and genuinely creepy vampire tale that inspired countless other films in the genre.

Extremely Silent Film with all the gorgeous sets and heavy colour tints and wild overacting that comes with it. A little overlong with some weird unnecessary subplots but the cinematography is exceptional and the creepier scenes, while dated, still have a fantastic effective tone.

Surprising to see how little screentime Schreck's creature gets, but every second is unsettling and iconic. The ending is a real heartbreaker too.

What a fascinating watch. It works so well as a silent movie and has aged like wine. It still looks great through the restorations. And Max Schreck just played the hell out of his character. Orlok is creepy even a century later, which is an achievement itself.

Made in 1922, it still holds up to many more modern horror movies with the super eerie feeling. I can imagine how scary seeing Nosferatu must have been back in the day, as he still looks very freaky. The way the scenes are framed and shadows are used to tell a story is beautiful, as well. I watched the restored version of this movie with the different colors used to convey the time of the day / the lighting of the scene. Creepy and great.

Maybe if I'd watched it under different circumstances, I'd have enjoyed it more. The visuals are splendid. It just felt a little slow. Maybe if I'd sped it up to run at 125%-150% speed like I do with most silent films, it would have played better. Nosferatu, it's probably me, not you.

Obviously it's an iconic film & a piece of cinematic history that has transcended its genre & even its medium, but I'm rarely huge on old movies & even more rarely huge on silent ones. That said, this is definitely one of the better silent movies I've seen & I'm glad that I finally got around to it. The performances are pretty good all-around, the story makes enough sense, & the title character's look is just the stuff of legends. It didn't wow me to be honest, but it's absolutely worth seeing.

The only thing I took away from this was that movies from this era and the years before it, having your monster have cross eyes was the epitome of terror in those days. I'd seen it previously in Edison's Frankenstein, and this is about 30 years after that. I think if that little detail wasn't in there, Nosferatu would be at least 50% creepier. Instead he looks like a guinea pig waking up after a long nap. Still there are great moments of atmosphere and creativity, but hard to ignore its age.

Trying to be fair in my score because of its legendary status. It is an absolute triumph of its era, and deserves praise for cinematography. However, it is basically just a ripoff of Dracula. Anyone interested in film history or horror movies must see Nosferatu, but otherwise its a pretty bland retelling of Dracula.

Despite its status as an expressionist classic, I actually found this to be Murnau at his more subdued. Most of the horror here is derived not from striking shots that sear themselves into your memory but from a more subtle atmosphere that pervades the film - even the unassuming establishing shots of horses on a field or waves crashing on the beach hint at the darkness ahead.

Of course, of course, I am full of nostalgia watching this, and amazed by what they managed to achieve so shortly after the invention of the medium. And yet by today's standards, this just isn't a very good movie. It utterly fails to build rapport or tension (except maybe for the last five minutes), it gives us a lot of unnecessary side material, and it totally overuses written material. Bit of a bore, really...

Excellent at the time it was made. However, 100 years later, not so much.

It's very impressive how this film can stand the test of time; the story still feels fresh and horrifying. The filming style is so influential that you still can see it today and the locations and designs are very iconic, there is not many things bad to say about it, maybe the colored black and white is distracting but then you get used to it.
