Nosferatu
Directed by F.W. Murnau
F.W. Murnau's silent version of DRACULA is one of the greatest horror films ever made, thanks in large part to Max Schreck's still-terrifying performance as the bald vampire Nosferatu, sporting razor sharp fangs and long pointy fingernails. Murnau's brilliant use of scary shadows and atmospheric dread influenced countless vampire films and TV series - including DARK SHADOWS, BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and the recent horror comedy WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS. Every horror fan should try to watch this at least once a year, in our opinion.

Didn’t really do it for me.
A classic
I got to see this at a local arthouse theater with a live band playing an original score. It was a great experience. This is a foundational piece of cinema. It is to be appreciated, but it is hard to rate it through a modern lens.
Not as good as it is made out.
i wasn't anticipating how *pretty* this movie would be. the variety of color and light surprised me throughout the story
