5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect remake of a Murnau's classic, 14 Nov 2003

By	2739 "sergej_karov" (Matulji Croatia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nosferatu The Vampyre [DVD] [1979] (DVD)

When i saw this movie for the first time I was stunned...although Werner Herzog is one of my favourite directors I was sceptical at first about Nosferatu because i was afraid that it will be much weaker than his predecessor....I couldn't be more wrong with this assumption...the movie is excellent.....there never was any vampire movie that even tried to give us such a strong portrait (both physically and psychicaly) of a creature that continued to live through ages..." Can You Imagine enduring centuries....experiencing the same futility every day" with this sentence Nosferatu explains the whole horror of his existence...and you feel some sort of sorrow for him even though you know that he is a monster ho pray on human blood to live.....unforgettable!. Film is beautifully shot by old Herzog's associate Jorg Schmidt-Reitwein and the music is excellently chosen to strenghten the whole atmosphere....pieces from Wagner's Das Rheingold are included here....and the cast is perfectly chosen, especially Kinski in the title role....possibly one of the best vampire movie among such gems as Carl Theodor Dreier's Vampyr, or Murnau's original Nosferatu

5.0 out of 5 stars A decidely non-Hollywood film, 23 May 2004

By	Steingrim Vold - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nosferatu The Vampyre [DVD] [1979] (DVD)

Instead of an action-packed, blood&gore laden, shallow, visually unassuming Hollywood-flick, you get an almost sinisterly dark and incredibly beautiful piece of art. Don't watch the English version, it lacks the atmosphere of the German version, probably due to the German actors' inability to cope well with the English language. Everything is more fluent with the German and this translates into better acting overall. If your German isn't fluent, then watch it with the English subtitles on.
This movie attempts to capture the deeper currents of the Vampire myth, to get to the heart of the curse that is embodied in Dracula. Klaus Kinski is brilliant as Count Dracula and makes the movie all by himself. Which isn't easy, as the director is obviously set on translating the vampire myth into something as close to believable or "real" as possible.
The scenes are long and cumbersome in places, that is true. But this only serves to work the sinister and dark atmosphere into the viewer. If you immerse yourself, then the movie is a thrilling experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars my favourite film, 6 April 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Nosferatu The Vampyre [DVD] [1979] (DVD)

Werner Herzog's style of filmaking is not to everyone's taste so fans of blood and guts should stay clear of this wonderful film.The pace is slow,but Klaus Kinski is the epitome of suffering as the tired and weary Count Dracula.The whole film has a dreamlike quality and some of the scenes such as when the plague hits Bremmen and the citizens throw away their posessions and take to the streets are very atmospheric.The DVD has two discs so the film can be watched in English or German as it was shot in both languages at the same time.There are also three theatrical trailers including a spanish (NOSFERATU VAMPIRO DE LA NOCHE)one. Finally a documentary of the making of the film and interveiw with director Werner Herzog is included.All in all a beautifully shot film with an excellent portrayal from Klaus Kinski,but as stated earlier action and blood'n'gore fans should avoid it like the plague which Dracula brings with him to Bremmen in the film.
