What Nosferatu Does Better Than Every Other Recent Dracula Movie
SlashFilmStory by staff@slashfilm.com (Bill Bria)
scrn logline
An unconventional Dracula tale that outshines recent adaptations with its bold visuals and eerie atmosphere.
beat sheet
- Director F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent masterpiece Nosferatu channels the book's gothic essence better than any vampire movie since, with its haunting shadows and chilling Count Orlok performance.
- While not officially a Dracula adaptation, Nosferatu's unauthorized use of Bram Stoker's characters has it standing out as a more faithful and fresh take on the iconic bloodsucker than the latest Drac blockbusters.
