nosferatu-1922-max-schreck
Remakes are common in the horror genre; classics of the genre are constantly being reimagined for a modern audience. One of the most anticipated of 2024 has been Robert Eggers' adaptation of 1922’s Nosferatu, which is set for release on Christmas Day. F.W. Murnau's original is seen as a horror classic, but I was apprehensive to watch it due to it being over 100 years old.
'Nosferatu' Is One of the Most Important Horror Movies of All Time Close Nosferatu is a silent German Expressionist movie that acts as an unofficial retelling of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. It follows Thomas Hutter , who is convinced by his estate agent boss Knock to visit a potential new client who wishes to purchase a mountain in their small town of Wisborg. This would bring Hutter a great deal of wealth, something he needs to buy a home for his new wife, Ellen .
Max Schreck Creates an Iconic Antagonist in 'Nosferatu' It is difficult to imagine a timeline where Nosferatu doesn’t exist, as so much of the vampire subgenre takes inspiration from it. However, the most striking and memorable images from the movie all center around the villain, Count Orlok. Even with no prior knowledge of Nosferatu, the image of Orlok’s shadow creeping up the stairs is something I had seen before.
The Cinematic Legacy of 'Nosferatu' Cannot Be Understated Nosferatu is a must-watch for fans of the horror genre, it is as simple as that. It is difficult to imagine just how scary it would have been for audiences when it was released in 1922. Since the movie is silent, it is one of the best examples of how a score can elevate the horror of certain moments. The high-pitched strings reflect the uncanny and serve to heighten this sense of dread.
