Students of the horror film know that it really hit its stride with Nosferatu, Murnau's version of the Dracula story. With Max Schrek (was he or wasn't he??) playing the lead role to perfection, and some astounding use of light and shade, this film set the standard for years to come.

Murnau really got inside the vampire legend, and drew on many sources, although primarliy of course he used Dracula, which cause many problems after the film was released.

I have had a double disc version by Eureka for some time, and wondered if the new version was necessary, but after reading some of the reviews here I took the plunge, and very am glad that I did. The film is presented in only a single version this time, rather than the ... Read More:

This is a 1926 classic of silent cinema. This new life that has been given to the film comes from the fact that the domestic (German) version has been restored and we can compare it with the export version that had survived. It is absolutely striking how the domestic version is tighter in the shooting, the taking and the cutting. The angle is slightly different and better, the contrast is a lot finer and more pronounced, which is very important for a black and white film. The cutting packs up many sequences and this increases the dramatic dimension and effect of the film. Apart from that you will not recognize any running version of the myth. The film is essentially centered on the love affair with Gretchen, but a long first part concentrates on ... Read More:

This may bee the best DVD edtion, that comes from the great Masters of Cinema (besides mayhaps their Nosferatu and Vampyr release) so far. They did a faboulous job: Great image and lots of supplements.

Despite the change in title, character's names, & location/setting, F.W. Murnau's: 'Nosferatu', is clearly based on Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', so much so that his widow sued for copyright infringement, which eventually resulted in the existing prints of the film being destroyed, But fortunately, not before a print of the film was sold overseas, which is why it is still with us today. The story is set in Bremmen, & instead of Count Dracula, we have Count Orlok. In place of Harker we have Hutter, Ellen instead of Mina, Professor Bulwer instead of Van Helsing, & Knock instead of Renfield.
I first saw Nosferatu when the BFI dvd release came out a few years ago. I'd been put off seeing it for a long time, thinking that i wouldn't enjoy a silent ... Read More:
