This is the reason I love cinemassacre. When James goes into old films like this it really shows his true passion.
-
I think this movie deserves more credit for literally changing vampire lore. Ask anyone about the weaknesses of a vampire and they'll say sunlight burns them. Garlic, holy water, stakes...all ancient methods dating back hundreds of years. Sunlight? Just a century ago. Mind-blowing.
-
Nosferatu was produced mostly in the city of Bremen, where i live. Sad thing is though, that not alot of people know about that fact here, considering how influential it was to the horror genre and other movies in general.
-
This movie is brilliantly eerie. Count Orlock is still the creepiest character I've ever seen on screen.
-
Videos like these might not be frequent but I love it when James simply talk about movies he loves.
-
I think it's incredible that any movie has reached 100 and is still relevant in today's pop culture.
-
It's a shame that people do not know the value to watch these old movies. It invokes the use of ones imagination when watching. It what makes these movies to be so captivating to watch!
-
The Klaus Kinski Nosferatu is my favourite "Dracula-movie". That atmosphere is so thick, you can cut through it with a stake.
-
I'm from Slovakia and Orava Castle is well worth the visit. Amongst the sights you can also find a creepy lifelike manequin of Count Orlok. They are even doing a special screening of Nosferatu in the castle courtyard tomorrow.
-
I could listen to James talk about horror and monster movies for hours it never gets old
-
I saw this movie last Halloween on the big screen, and with a live band doing the music. The band had put a lot of thought into creating a score for the film, and with the music, the scenes with Orlok actually were somewhat scary to me. I think that this might be the only way to really appreciate silent films. They have to have the right soundtrack.
-
Bela Lugosi created the image of the charming vampire, which remains to this day. But Bram Stokers book describes Dracula more as being disgusting. I think Nosferatu is the movie that best showcases the character. Someone whose appearance causes terror and no one wants around.
-
When James did his 100th anniversary for Caligari I got so into the review I hunted the film down. I am gonna do it for this one. Thanks James.
-
I am so glad someone did this. The movie deserves to be remembered.
-
The Type O Negative version was awesome. Not necessarily the definitive version, but the soundtrack definitely added to it.
-
I really enjoy the visuals in Nosferatu. Nosferatu and the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari are my two favorite old-school horror films.
-
This movie has a more creepy feel than a lot of new horror films.
-
Count Orlok's legacy deserves to be remembered, just the same as the old "penny dreadful" Varney the Vampire (which inspired Bram Stoker's "Dracula" book).
-
I used to see him in Spongebob as a kid, that's the only reason I still remember him. Nice documentary on this, James.
-
Great film. Crazy to think it’s 100 years old already. Just shows how films like this can continue to be as incredible and influential a century later. Great video James.
