Nosferatu

a Symphony of Horror
Mar 02, 2013Monolith rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
Max Schreck as the gaunt, wide-eyed Count Orlok is, to me, without question the creepiest specter in classic horror. The age of the piece only magnifies the spookiness. Some funny bits, too -- e.g. the nutjob "Knock". This version has two choices for the score; I preferred Timothy Howard's pipe organ option. I first tried The Silent Orchestra's score, but I found its modern experimental sounds didn't deliver the appropriate vintage feeling to a ninety year old film.
