This film is so otherworldly... The altered character names really makes it seem like its from another world, and Max Shreck's performance is haunting. It was so convincing that people actually rumoured him to be a real vampire. Also the Orava caslte, location where they filmed the first half of the movie, is said to be haunted. Those details added with the fact that almost all of the copies of the movie were destroyed because of copyrights, makes this masterpiece seem like an evil entity, refusing to cease even if it's objectors wanted It to... Like a vampire.
@@raptorfromthe6ix833 The movie Nosferatu? Yes, it was shown in theaters in the 1920's, and after the remaining video tapes were found it has been released multiple times by countless different companies
@Cinnamon Roll latino parents don’t believe in privacy. I mean they sent me to military camp for one summer that I thought would be utter hell, but it was actually pretty fun.
Adam Orłowski they don’t dress or style themselves modern but if they were around today they’d look like anyone else. Humans have looked the same for over tens of thousands of years when it comes to biologically modern humans.
Someone can find this film boring, but *"Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror"* 1922 is a classic of horror films and German expressionism, which at one time was able to make a strong impression on the audience, from which the blood ran cold. This was the cinema. There is no color, no sound, only black and white tones, accompanied by a grim and melancholic melody, which gives the film its charm, and also enhances atmosphere of mysticism, fear and evil in silent forests of Transylvania. But the highlight of this film is Count Orlok himself. Max Schrek performance is very far from Bram Stoker's Dracula. Despite connection with the original source, Nosferatu is rather a reinterpretation of Dracula, which makes you think about the nature of vampirism. This is not a majestic commander, not a prince of darkness from novel. Nosferatu more means disease and here Count Orlok is represented as a host of an unknown and dangerous plague, doomed to eternal life and loneliness. The curse has disfigured his human side, turning him into a bloodthirsty creature. It is also worth noting the image of Orlok and he is very unique. His look causes horror and disgust: unnaturally long fingers ending with sharp claws, bared sharp teeth like a bat, gnarled nose, splayed ears, empty and lifeless eyes. Considering how Murnau competently handles shadow in the film, not only the vampire scares, but also his silhouette. Nosferatu deserves attention as one of the most frightening vampires of cinema!
@@donrubix7423 me too i remember seeing this image somewhere in a magazine or something when i was a toddler and it terrified me this is my first time seeing it since
A true masterpiece! I remember going the theater in 1979 when Werner Herzog's remake of this great film, Nosferatu they Vampyre was released. As I had seen The 1922 Version before. I walked out of the theater telling my friend. Will never be a better version made than this. First time I heard of Klaus Kinski, Isabelle Adjani,Bruno Ganz etc. To me, the 1979 version is the best vampire movie ever made. Sultry, eerie, creepy, decadent, incredible cinematography, awesome musical score. Most remakes don't cut it.. this one surpassed it! Imo
@@kthulhugaming4643 I'm not sure about that, watching this did not give me any kind of creep vibes or fear, or scare at all. I find many modern movies scarier than this, maybe it is because of the fact that it is old and the quality as well as effects are low and poor compared to nowdays? Either way, this movie is very well done for 1922
Go for an older, unrestored version of the film. In those versions, there are some frames missing: the door swings open and all of a sudden Nosferatu stands in the door - it looks like he appears from thin air - one moment the door's empty, BANG - Nosfreatu standing there: the ultimate jump-scare
@@rictusmetallicus But the music is some random shit people put in there. Better go for the restored murnau version with it's original color plates and the original music. Non other version has either
I’m so glad you posted the tinted version! The pure black-and white (while excellent) loses the context of day/night, which is super important in the story.
Fun Fact: During the entire filming, Max Schreck was always remaining in character. Some people believed, he was actually a real vampire and Schreck wasnt his real name.
Count Orlock is one of the rare vampires portrayed in media that actually does justice to the original vampires from Serbian folklore, when it comes to appearance, acting and overall vibe that the vampire gives.
@@theultraatomicgamerI suppose it's the clear inhuman appearance and the inhuman behavior that although not completely animalistic the thirst for blood is very noticeable
3:28 That is fucking terrifying I've seen so many modern day horror movies where they show you how terrifying the monster with all sorts of blood and gore with an over-the-top score but NONE of them compare to that The colors, the score, the slow zoom-in, the atmosphere, and the creepy stance of Nosferatu just staring back it's just so effective and unsettling
This was actually made by Germans I believe. German Expressionism is a lost art if silent films. With films like this, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and The Man Who Laughs.
It's not like it was that scary, I mean, it's a bit disturbing and it's got a frightening ambiance, but you won't have nightmares about it. I like the style, the story and the idea that they transmitted but it's far from what good horror movies made in the last 40 years look
Nosferatu has this beautiful, lingering horror that seems like it would be very difficult to recreate in a film with sound. Sometimes I wish I could go back and see this film in historical context. It’s scary enough to a guy who watches films like The Exorcist and Eraserhead while munching popcorn...it must’ve been absolutely terrifying to a silent film audience back in the day.
I don't know how others can't appreciate old films. Ok, the graphics weren't as good as those today, but for movies in the early 1900's, these are really good, and just goes to show how people thought back then and how they made movies and it shows a lot about the history of movie making, which is amazing. And even though this is from the 20's this. is. pretty. SCARY, coming from a person that doesn't get scared easily. Petition to bring those wonderful 20's and 30's horror movies back
This movie had a ridiculously small budget and film crew. Max Schreck, the actor playing Count Orlok, actually had provided his own make-up design for the movie. He was a prolific stage actor, known particularly for his portrayals of somehow eerie characters and social outsiders. At that time most theatres in Germany hadn't professional costume or make-up designers yet. These were still things stage- and movie actors would do all by themselves. Only around the thirties of the last century doing make-ups became a profession on its own in the theatre and movie world. There is a little docu clip from 1930 here on YT, where famous British character actor, Charles Laughton, gives a little demonstration in front of a theatre mirror, how he transforms himself in an Italian mafiosi, doing all the make-up by himself. Only a few years later, this would become already old-fashioned for actors, because then there were already professional make-up artists around, who at that first pioneering time quite often had an acting background themselves. So really all the credit for this movie character and his iconic apperarance goes to Max Schreck himself and no other possible make-up artist or costume designer. 6:51
For me the best vampire movie of all time. Max Schreck as Count Orlok is simply unbelievable. The nightmare. I saw a heavily shortened version of the sls child. I was so scared.
To me this is the scariest movie I've ever seen. The movie works as a terrific gothic movie and has inspired not just vampire movies but all types of horror. The movie feels like a long dream that at first is nice but turns into a nightmare and doesn't let up. I watched it when I was 12 and its stuck with me ever since. If anyone want to see anything "newish" for Nosferatu there is a 1979 remake and Shadow of the Vampire which tells a fictionalized story about if F.W. Murnau hired a real vampire for the role of Count Orlok/Nosferatu which was released in 2000. I recommend both if you enjoyed the 1922 movie.
Horror movies today tend to favor jump-scares and gore over atmosphere and creepiness. A lot of modern horror movies just don't have that subtlety, a combination of atmosphere, creepiness, and musical score that create a lasting impression. Nosferatu, especially Max Schreck, captures all three brilliantly. Count Orlok won't jump out and scare you. His brand of horror is unnerving, unnatural. Something that will stick by and haunt you. As if the environment around you is dead. A lack of movement indicates death. And Count Orlok's subtle movement invokes that feeling among the person watching.
The fact that this movie is an influential old classic doesn't mean everyone has seen it. I bet most young folks in their teens, twenties and and even older have never watched it. I mean people in the comment section are referencing Spongebob for crying out loud! 😆
I agree with you, I do not know why but Nosferatu has always seemed quite adorable to me, It may be the false nostalgia of my parents making references to the film sometimes or it may be simply because of that way of moving and those faces that seems partly a little creepy but at the same time quite funny
Happy 100th anniversary to this film. Legendary in how it presents the monster as a creature who we know is the monster, not some suave or attractive being who uses seduction to get what he/she wants. This is a situation in which our protagonist must outlast the monster.
Most frightening Movie scene is for me Resident Evil 1 (2002) Laser Scene. I literally watched every Horror Movie and that Laser scene fucked me most up at night.
It's crazy to consider there could be an alternate reality where this film is considered fully lost and the holy grail of lost media, because the copies were supposed to be destroyed. And yet, here we are watching it on TH-cam.
This is the most realistic vampire film I've ever seen. Even though the film emulsion wasn't perfect, the arc lighting was a little inconsistent, and the facial expressions were exaggerated (because there was no audible dialog), it's still the best one ever made. The fact that I got a crush on Greta Schroeder has, of course, nothing to do with my liking and respect for this great work.
I will never believe that Max Schreck was just an actor, I truly believe he was a real vampire. There's no way he could have played it so well. When I first saw this movie I was very young and I was scared to death watching this, I had nightmares ever since because of this movie. Nosferatu is the scariest vampire ever!
Imagine watching this when it came out. This was probably the scariest thing on earth.
This was 8 years after ww1 I think they seen scarier, it's honestly terrifying today thougu

@@ryanlewis8975 nosferatu
Yo wtf fam
Nosferatu!
Max Schreck, the legend. Seriously that makeup was great, not the most faithful Dracula movie but probably the most important
This movie had a ridiculously small budget and film crew.
Max Schreck, the actor playing Count Orlok, actually had provided his own make-up design for the movie.
He was a prolific stage actor, known particularly for his portrayals of somehow eerie characters and social outsiders.
At that time most theatres in Germany hadn't professional costume or make-up designers yet.
These were still things stage- and movie actors would do all by themselves.
Only around the thirties of the last century doing make-ups became a profession on its own in the theatre and movie world.
There is a little docu clip from 1930 here on YT, where famous British character actor, Charles Laughton, gives a little demonstration in front of a theatre mirror, how he transforms himself in an Italian mafiosi, doing all the make-up by himself.
Only a few years later, this would become already old-fashioned for actors, because then there were already professional make-up artists around, who at that first pioneering time quite often had an acting background themselves.
So really all the credit for this movie character and his iconic apperarance goes to Max Schreck himself and no other possible make-up artist or costume designer. 6:51
5:01 this whole scene scared the bejesus out of me!
For me the best vampire movie of all time. Max Schreck as Count Orlok is simply unbelievable. The nightmare. I saw a heavily shortened version of the sls child. I was so scared.
To me this is the scariest movie I've ever seen. The movie works as a terrific gothic movie and has inspired not just vampire movies but all types of horror. The movie feels like a long dream that at first is nice but turns into a nightmare and doesn't let up. I watched it when I was 12 and its stuck with me ever since.
If anyone want to see anything "newish" for Nosferatu there is a 1979 remake and Shadow of the Vampire which tells a fictionalized story about if F.W. Murnau hired a real vampire for the role of Count Orlok/Nosferatu which was released in 2000. I recommend both if you enjoyed the 1922 movie.
Horror movies today tend to favor jump-scares and gore over atmosphere and creepiness. A lot of modern horror movies just don't have that subtlety, a combination of atmosphere, creepiness, and musical score that create a lasting impression. Nosferatu, especially Max Schreck, captures all three brilliantly.
Count Orlok won't jump out and scare you. His brand of horror is unnerving, unnatural. Something that will stick by and haunt you. As if the environment around you is dead.
A lack of movement indicates death. And Count Orlok's subtle movement invokes that feeling among the person watching.
4:04 don't be scared, man. He's not gonna hurt you, he only came to flicker the lights playfully.
the way this man walks is terrifying, and 6:07 is just crazy.
*light flickering NOSFERATU!
NOSFERATU: *Smiles*
I like how you said "spoilers" for an almost 100 year old movie
The fact that this movie is an influential old classic doesn't mean everyone has seen it.
I bet most young folks in their teens, twenties and and even older have never watched it.
I mean people in the comment section are referencing Spongebob for crying out loud! 😆
This is even scarier than some movies today. I think it has to do with the eerie silence of it all, it like being in a dream.
3:58 probably the most iconic but scary scenes in all of horror
What about 8:14
How to be scary without CGI, Mr Schreck was amazing. Other actors really over the top, though I think it was the norm then
It was impossible for good actors, only possible for high end tier like robert de niro; nicholson; marlon brandon....
yeah theyre that dramatic in metropolis too
he's actually adorable you can't change my mind
An explanation is very much needed
Tastes will be tastes
I agree with you, I do not know why but Nosferatu has always seemed quite adorable to me, It may be the false nostalgia of my parents making references to the film sometimes or it may be simply because of that way of moving and those faces that seems partly a little creepy but at the same time quite funny
@@AntónCasáis,passage of time,maybe?
Agreed
Who else actually knew the movie and didnt learn it from spongebob
Meeeew!!!
Sh I just like sponge boob
Mazadanc Oseben meow?
A mix of both.
Me
Happy 100th anniversary to this film. Legendary in how it presents the monster as a creature who we know is the monster, not some suave or attractive being who uses seduction to get what he/she wants. This is a situation in which our protagonist must outlast the monster.
I remember forcing my mom to watch this with me. A masterpiece.
“The word shreck in German means terror”
schreck not shreck
SCHRECK
Nosferatu is my favorite vampire in vampire history. 😀👍😈🏰📺❤️
Just a reminder that the novel was only 25 years old at this point.
For 1922 this has better quality then some TH-cam videos no cap.
That's the power of film, my dude.
@@Rilumai Insane!
this era is so mysterious and scary.......and cool
The life back then was so insanly hard, even for rich ones. 0 security. Everywhere is someone who want to pull your heart out.
@@ElectronicHouseFlash ily mane
I fail to see the terror that this movie tried to produce, but i understand why people back in the day would be terrified.
I guess back in time it was special like for us the first
"Saw" or "Final destination" movie.
The fact that this movie will turn 100 years next year is absolutely insane.
It is 100 years old
What girls think vampires look like: a tall handsome guy they want to marry
What boys think vampires look like:
Are you trying to tell me that he isn't handsome?
I so happy that this was recorded in my country
The music is as brilliant as the imagery, genius!
3:35 the most frightening scene in horror movie history.
Imagine seeing this in a dream or when u just wake up.
Most frightening Movie scene is for me Resident Evil 1 (2002) Laser Scene.
I literally watched every Horror Movie and that Laser scene fucked me most up at night.
Jesus! This film is almost 100 years old! Just imagine if someone grew up watching this film and managed to live up to this point in life.
It's crazy to consider there could be an alternate reality where this film is considered fully lost and the holy grail of lost media, because the copies were supposed to be destroyed.
And yet, here we are watching it on TH-cam.
Count Orlok coming into that doorway was easily the scariest thing I ever saw as a kid.
Fun fact, because his performance was so perfect and him having "terror" in his name, people thought that Max Shreck was a vampire in real life!
Lol. He packed himself in his own coffin!
7:02
I know that Orlok is really unnerving in most scenes, but that little moment of him on the boat looks so goddamn goofy.
When I was a kid, this film seemed to me like the scariest thing in the world!!!
Like the music and the words that are In between scenes tell the story perfectly
This is the most realistic vampire film I've ever seen. Even though the film emulsion wasn't perfect, the arc lighting was a little inconsistent, and the facial expressions were exaggerated (because there was no audible dialog), it's still the best one ever made. The fact that I got a crush on Greta Schroeder has, of course, nothing to do with my liking and respect for this great work.
I will never believe that Max Schreck was just an actor, I truly believe he was a real vampire. There's no way he could have played it so well. When I first saw this movie I was very young and I was scared to death watching this, I had nightmares ever since because of this movie. Nosferatu is the scariest vampire ever!
