Nosferatu, A Symphony of Terror
One of the few truely terrifying films ever made, Nosferatu is a classic film, pure and simple. The atmosphere is phenominal, just bristling with that early German style. Max Shrek looks incredible as Orlock, easily the most terrifying image of a vampire of all-time. As for the score, I saw the Type O Negative version. Very uneven, though at times it's truely amazing. In many scenes it seems very out of place, but in others such as the infamous Door scene, it fit perfectly and elevated the tension of an already scary scene. The actors werent very good, but it's not often you see a silent film with good actors. Overall this is one of the only films that can actually scare me. Though Dracula '31 is easily a better film, it doesnt even hold a candle to this in terms of pure scare factor.
8.5/10
PS - The DVD I have had a rather interesting introduction by David Carradine that I enjoyed.
