Nosferatu

100 years ago, one of the first Horror films in history was released.

Re: Nosferatu

I've never seen it. The stills I've seen are really creepy.

Re: Nosferatu

I saw it in a big cinema with live orchestra playing at a film festival 8-9 years ago, and boy it was cool to see that way, except for the hipsters in the audience who kept laughing at bits that weren't actually funny, always kind of spoils it when an audience thinks they're too cool for an older movie. I still think the vampire scenes are some of the freakiest ever filmed, and boy, so influential.

I watched one of my copies last night. A few years ago they played this with a live orchestra at the Walt Disney Hall in DTLA but tickets were $100 and I couldn't justify the cost.

Re: Nosferatu

This is one that can never be improved upon since half of the creepy factor is the technology of the time.

Maybe not improved upon, but at least equaled, because Herzog/Kinski's was a masterpiece.

Re: Nosferatu

I'm not sure if I've seen this or not. Was there a scene where:
Spoiler:
some guy was carried around in a coffin, and maybe he was cursed and couldn't move so people thought he was dead

or was that Vampyr?

Yeah, I was struggling to find the right wording. There can be equals, and probably even better versions of the story but the 1922 version is just so creepy, in large part because it was made 100 years ago - and looks like it.

I'm interested to see what Eggers does with the material.

Me neither. Should give it a watch though since I find the 1931 version to be overrated.

Re: Nosferatu

For me it's still the best film version of Dracula.

It's on youtube in decent quality, too.


The movie is in the public domain, so I'll post it here.
