Nosferatu Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Kate Cameron
The action of the picture is so disconnected as to make the continuity confusing. However, this one certainly holds interest, for its extreme weirdness and its unusual photography.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Nosferatu remains the best vampire movie of all time. It possesses a strain of sheer dread not captured by any subsequent bloodsucker film.
Film Inquiry
Holly Edwards
F.W Murnau's 1922 Gothic masterpiece in many ways, paved the way for genre horror films and completely encapsulated audiences at the time of its release.
Cinema Siren
Leslie Combemale
One of the best and most beautiful horror classics.
Movie Metropolis
Christopher Long
Whatever your opinion regarding intellectual property, I'm sure you'll agree we're fortunate that the movie survived, even in its various contested and truncated forms.
The Dissolve
Noel Murray
The movie's best effect is its star...He looks every bit like an actual demonic wild-thing, retrieved from deep within the German wilderness and trotted out to perform for Murnau's camera.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
It is the sort of thing one could watch at midnight without its having much effect upon one's slumbering hours.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Never mind that much of the story of this first important screen version of the Dracula legend seems corny and dated, for what counts is its atmosphere and its images, which are timeless in their power.
Los Angeles Times
Dennis Lim
Less frightening than haunting, Murnau's film conjures a persistent atmosphere of dread and decay, thanks in part to Max Schreck's immortal performance as Orlok.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
It's not just a great horror movie. It's a poem of horror, a symphony of dread, a film so rapt, mysterious and weirdly lovely it haunts the mind long after it's over.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The metaphysical style is most vividly rendered by Murnau's obsessive use of point-of-view shots, which force a viewer to follow the characters into the abyss of their terrifying visions.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
'Nosferatu' is worthwhile on two counts: mise-en-scne and the actor who is the title (and sole) vampire.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Most likely the first horror film to express something beyond simple chills and thrills.
Variety
Variety Staff
Murnau proved his directorial artistry in Sunrise for Fox about three years earlier, but in this picture he's a master artisan demonstrating not only a knowledge of the subtler side of directing but in photography.
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
Watching Nosferatu is like standing in the same room as death itself.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The film shows Murnau's uncanny mixture of expressionism and location shooting at its finest.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
A masterpiece of the German silent cinema and easily the most effective version of Dracula on record.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Almost unique in imagining a vampire who is not darkly attractive, but corpselike and ghastly the imagery resists allegorization, remaining simply, unsettlingly, itself.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
In the realm of vampire films, this 1922 silent is the original motherlode. No one since has matched vampire Max Schreck's creepy loathsomeness.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It doesn't scare us, but it haunts us. It shows not that vampires can jump out of shadows, but that evil can grow there, nourished on death.
