- Before we sink our fangs into 'Nosferatu' this Christmas, it’s time to look back at F.W. Murnau’s 1922 classic and Werner Herzog’s loving homage from 1979.

Hell yes! I never forget sitting one late night in the 90s, and Herzog's version came on TV. When I saw that first scene with the Mexican mummies, I knew I was up for a treat. The movie is mesmerizing to say the least. Can't wait to see Eggers' version.
I felt the same way. The mummy intro perfectly sets the stage for what's to come. Rooting hard for the new movie to deliver.
Very enjoyable episode James, thanks for your work here.
Thanks, Pierre! Fired up to see what the new movie is all about.
Both the Murnow and Herzog versions are go to comfort movies I watch at least once a year. I'm going to do my best to help find the version with the synth rock track!
It might be this version here but I need to listen to more to know for sure: th-cam.com/video/K0JhzxMQlBI/w-d-xo.html
@@geekinwithJamesHancock - It certainly seems to check out listening along and reading the comments. Thanks for such an entertaining and insightful deep dive into these films, I've been following your channel for the better part of a decade!
His shadow against the wall is up there with The priest bathed in the light of a street lamp in The Exorcist.
Good call! 100% agree.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock I just wanted to chime in by saying that your enthusiasm for and knowledge of film is incredible, James! You're truly a connoisseur. All the best from the UK,
Sean 👊🏽👍🏽
F.W. Murnau and Werner Herzog's Nosferatu are great. I'm interested to see Eggers take on it. Thnx James.
I'm rooting hard for Eggers to deliver something special. Could end up being the best movie of the Christmas season.
Nosferatu '79 is one of the best movies ever made.
Wagner, Herzog and Vampires make a perfect combination.
I watched the 1922 one last December. Some guy and his guitar jammed over the whole movie. I haven't heard a sound sinc
Sounds like a very entertaining evening at the movies.
The soundtrack for Herzog's Nosferatu is breathtakingly perfect. Murnau's original is an absolute delight (and I'm not exactly a fan of silent films). Have you seen Haxan?
You mentioned Shadow of the Vampire, one of my favorite Vampire movies. Have you done a Vampire movie ranking video? Maybe there are too many from too many eras tho. I suppose it could be broken down by era?🤔
Massive fan of Haxan. One of a kind movie. As far as vamps go, I did a livestream on the subject but I feel like I barely scratched the surface: th-cam.com/users/live8Net2_BkcYI?feature=share
Some of the best sound design in the history of film.
First comment! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on these classic films. Can't wait for Eggers' version.
I'm right there with you. The new film by Eggers is my most anticipated movie of the holiday season.
Thanks, that was a nice revisit.
Both fantastic films.
The one sheet for Herzog's film is classy and classic 🤌🏻
David Paladin knocked that poster design right out out of the park.
Fangtastic! Nosferatu is film-making 101 in all its glory. Actually I have a soft spot for all the original Universal Studio monsters. It’s literal proof that you can tell a story without blowing $350M. I’m so curious to see what Eggers can do. I feel like it’s gonna flay my mind.
We are all in desperate need of getting our minds flayed. Been way too long since I had my last flaying and I'm rooting hard for Eggers to deliver.
I’ve never seen Nosferatu before but I gotta say his one appearance in the Hash Slinging Slasher episode of SpongeBob has made me an Uber fan and I can’t wait to watch the new Movie!
lol, I missed that ep of SpongeBob but will definitely hunt it down.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock S2EP16 it’s called “The Graveyard shift” it’s a top tier episode.
NOS4A2 is now the funniest thing I've ever heard of.
Agreed. Sadly the show wasn't quite as clever as the title.
Enjoyed this video greatly. Love your stuff james.
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. More to come later this year once we see the new movie.
08:00 The scene in The Mother and the Whore is due to the fact that, roughly at the time, Structuralism -- whose approach often involves positing dichotomies, and studying the relationship between them -- had had a huge impact on French film criticism and theory, not to mention literary and art theory/criticism more broadly.
The Mother and the Whore completely knocked me flat when I saw it at the Nuart in LA. I need to find a good copy for my library.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock Awesome. In the city where I live, there was a complete Eustache retrospective. I also got to see his follow-up film to The Mother: Mes petites amoureuses. The two films -- to borrow the above image -- are as different from one another as night from day, but are also oddly complementary.
Sounds like you saw the version set to the music of Type O Negative. My favorite version, and one of my favorite bands.
Hell yeah. I'll look them up. I think I was 18 at the time but it was the perfect way to fall in love with the movie.
Godd*mn I need to find me a Hancock to date. All that geek energy, the cheeky boyish charm. Gimme gimme gimme!
Lol, 'm flattered. I'll do my best to keep that energy flowing in future videos.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock Haha I doubt it not, sir. Next time you're anywhere near the good city of Amsterdam I'll get my fix by buying you a beer ;) Rock on!
I had a Murnau version scored by the group Art Zoyd... It kinda fits your description.
I don’t mean to interrupt your classic movie review, but I finally watched the new version of “Road House”. I actually liked it. The first “Road House” movie was ultimately a comical parody of itself. The new version, not so much, except for Ewan McGreggor. Ewan’s character was an over the top parody. I think the new version tried to be more realistic, so it was different.
For me I need all the outrageous dialogue and Hall of Fame nudity by Julie Michaels or it just doesn't feel like 'Road House'. If they had called it Bouncer or anything else, I likely would have had no problem with it.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock
For me, the incredible classic rock covers by the Jeff Healey Band was the stand out best part of the original “Road House”.🎸
Thanks James for this retro review. Back in the 70s college courses i took, those shots from Nosferatu were featured Unrelated, the German Director Leni Riefenstahl popped into my head. Since you mentioned Coppola’s Dracula the two most memorable things were the most bizarre Dracula via Gary Oldman and the worst foreign accent from an American actor was the awful Keanu Reves😇🦇
Keanu Reeves's accent in Dracula is a serious contender for worst English accent in the history of movies.
@@geekinwithJamesHancockin any such list he always seams to land as the absolute worst. Seeing it as an adult on the big screen made the great scenes look even better and the ‘bad’ even worse☮️
Seek out the version with James Bernard's score, the composer of the Hammerfilm Draculas... highly recommended
03:10 On Faust, the great filmmaker-critic Eric Rohmer wrote a book on the film -- originally a PhD thesis -- written in 1972 and published in 1977. Sadly, it does not seem to have been translated into English.
Big fan of Rohmer. So many amazing movies across so many decades. Here's a link to a podcast I did on his Six Moral Tales: wrongreel.com/podcast/wr516-eric-rohmers-six-moral-tales/
@@geekinwithJamesHancock Will be sure to check it out. Love that cycle of films.
i think the version you are referring to with synth-like score is by Popa Vuul (im sure im mispronouncing name)
Many thanks! I'll hunt it down. Dying to hear it again.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock Cool. So the composers name is POPA VUUL. Yeah when you said kind of synthy i knew it must be this one. I remember hearing it and thinking this sounds a little modern for the 20's? lol. You can find the OST playlist on tube here and i think one has some deleted cues. Keep up the great work!
It's Popol Vuh.... They did many of Herzog's scores in the seventies and early eighties. To my knowledge they never scored Murnau's version.
I think Zinskaro by Vokal Ansambl Gordela is a really noteworthy piece of music in Herzog’s film:
th-cam.com/video/zYho3Tuc09g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Amu4m9tsZ4x6uTYD
Awe-inspiring music from one of my favorite scenes of the movie. Hopefully if I'm ever dying from the plague, I can face my demise with equal grace and charm.
Did you abandoned your podcast?
I retired from the audio version and will be doing my interviews here from now on: th-cam.com/video/DaooNobj6ac/w-d-xo.html
klaus kinski is freaking crazy😂
His insanity is truly without equal in the history of movies.
Not a big fan of Werner Herzog, for no other reason than I think his movies almost unanimously suck. Everything I've seen of his has an out of touch feel to it. I could elaborate a lot more but I'll leave it at that. Apparently he's a pain in the arse as well, but that's not part of my equation as to why he bugs me as a film maker.
I'll forgiver all of the above just because I dig your handle, dinglebarry. Made me howl.
