Vatican Film #3
Film Title: Nosferatu
Year: 1922
Country of Origin: Germany
Sound: None
Color: None
Analysis-
I have never read Dracula before but this appeared to be a good imitation to me even though they had to change a few specific character names and the title as not to copy the original. First I would like to point out how amazing the costumes were especially the vampire’s (Nosferatu) because it incited fear without being over the top. They didn’t have special effects then so they really had to get creative with costumes and makeup when the plot required a character to be something other than human. The stupidity of one character bothered me for almost the whole film until he finally realized what was going on but it was balanced out by the other characters common sense. As a side note this would make a great Halloween film to watch because it’s haunting without being gory or super scary. (The organ music was priceless for this film.)
