Nosferatu the Vampyre [Blu-ray]

Just as erie as I remember , long ago.

Good movie, great price!!!

This is a truely an amazing art film.I haven't seen anything like this in my life.It's like a folk music or something like M. Night Shyamalan <THE VILLAGE> kind of enviorment but it is even sorry to compare with that movie since shyamalan's movie was a crap but this one is a true work of art.This is not a horror film. If I have to describe it, it can be only say as an art film.I finally bought the Samsung 4K Ultra HD monitor and a upscale bluray player and the disc was an HD remastered Bluray disc. The picture and the sound was just perfect as if I was watching the movie that was shot yesterday with HD camera, not with an old filmstock back in 1979.i heard many things about Werner Herzog and honestly own his movies like 6 but not been able to see any of them since there are so many movies that I have in lince await for me to see.Now that I am totally mesmerized by this film, I have to watch all of his films include the great <Aguirre Wrath of God> an many others.This film's story is nothing new. If you have watched <Coppola's DRACULA> there is nothing more to say about this film.But truely the image of the movie is just stunning.It is shot in Geremany and the language is also German. Be aware not to watch this film with English dubbed version. it's a crab.Klaus Kinski's part acted as Dracula is so much different with Gary Oldman.Once great teacher said true great film does not tells everything with dialogue but with visual words and enviornments.Kinski does not talk much like Gary. Gary talks much all right. And that is more instantly appeals to the audience. Yes.But Kinski's face expression makes us think. It's truely scary at the end and stays in our heart for days. It won a lot of film festivals at the end because it is way much powerful after all.There is not much blood either.As I told you this is not all horror. Maybe it's more of a historic tale. Folk tale.I know that it's not based on a true story. There is no such thing as dracula a blood sucking human.But then again, when watching this film, we kind of believe there is.The movie is that much powerful.If I have my own theater, no matter how much it takes, I would want to invite as many people as possible and want to show you this movie for sure.It's a true work of art that I really want to show.The wood is truely amazing charactor itself.The music is stunning.Klaus Kinski, Isabelle Adjani's pale face, Bruno Ganz's weakness are just true work of art.And the light, camera are just memorable.I am glad that I bough the bluray although at that time I didn't know that there is other sites that I can buy this in cheaper price and happen to buy from Amazon US but it was worth buying with around 23$.The picture is just perfect HD remastered and the sound is HD sound 5.1 great. Couldn't be better.You should definately watch this in any coast.

This version of the silent classic Nosferatu, is a good companion piece. It is quite fun to watch and compare the two. Of course, this version has sound, color, and is more graphic than the original.

This movie is really something special. What I like to say is that it's not my favorite version of Dracula, but it's probably my favorite Vampire movie. What I mean by that is that it is definitely a very unique adaption of Dracula, basically a remake of the first (unauthorized) film adaption of the Dracula story, the silent film Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror, and it's very much interprets the Dracula story in a very distinct way that is not like the iconic story we've come to know. In many ways I think it recognizes aspects of what Dracula truly was that no other adaption has personified. But it's also more of a "retelling" than a straight adaption, as much it's own thing as it is a Dracula story. What makes it brilliant is that here we have a vampire that is absolutely creepy and yet you don't run away from him and he creeps on you very slowly and yet you don't jump away, you're just sort of frozen there, fascinated and terrified. It's the opposite of what I hate about horror movies, it's all ambiance and the horror is even more devastating without the shrieking. It's the personification of what the vampire is, if not the personification of what we expect from a Dracula film (the perfect Dracula film is still yet to be made).I very much recommend the two disc edition by Anchor Bay. They shot the speaking roles of this movie both in English and in German. Both are great and I like being able to watch a movie in my own language without a dubbing or looking at the subtitles. But the actors definitely seem to be a little more natural in their own language (the German version). I consider both versions legitimate versions (which I don't extend to dubbing) and after I watched one, not knowing what to expect, I then put on the other just fascinated with picking up the nuances I might have missed in the other version.I can't recommend this movie highly enough, unless you just want the same old modern formula movie, in which case you really shouldn't ever take any of my recommendations.
