This is the reason I love cinemassacre. When James goes into old films like this it really shows his true passion.

I think this movie deserves more credit for literally changing vampire lore. Ask anyone about the weaknesses of a vampire and they'll say sunlight burns them. Garlic, holy water, stakes...all ancient methods dating back hundreds of years. Sunlight? Just a century ago. Mind-blowing.

Nosferatu was produced mostly in the city of Bremen, where i live. Sad thing is though, that not alot of people know about that fact here, considering how influential it was to the horror genre and other movies in general.

This movie is brilliantly eerie. Count Orlock is still the creepiest character I've ever seen on screen.

Videos like these might not be frequent but I love it when James simply talk about movies he loves.

I'm from Slovakia and Orava Castle is well worth the visit. Amongst the sights you can also find a creepy lifelike manequin of Count Orlok. They are even doing a special screening of Nosferatu in the castle courtyard tomorrow.

I could listen to James talk about horror and monster movies for hours it never gets old

It's a shame that people do not know the value to watch these old movies. It invokes the use of ones imagination when watching. It what makes these movies to be so captivating to watch!

The Klaus Kinski Nosferatu is my favourite "Dracula-movie". That atmosphere is so thick, you can cut through it with a stake.

I think it's incredible that any movie has reached 100 and is still relevant in today's pop culture.

Bela Lugosi created the image of the charming vampire, which remains to this day. But Bram Stokers book describes Dracula more as being disgusting. I think Nosferatu is the movie that best showcases the character. Someone whose appearance causes terror and no one wants around.

I saw this movie last Halloween on the big screen, and with a live band doing the music. The band had put a lot of thought into creating a score for the film, and with the music, the scenes with Orlok actually were somewhat scary to me. I think that this might be the only way to really appreciate silent films. They have to have the right soundtrack.

I am so glad someone did this. The movie deserves to be remembered.

When James did his 100th anniversary for Caligari I got so into the review I hunted the film down. I am gonna do it for this one. Thanks James.

The Type O Negative version was awesome. Not necessarily the definitive version, but the soundtrack definitely added to it.

Count Orlok's legacy deserves to be remembered, just the same as the old "penny dreadful" Varney the Vampire (which inspired Bram Stoker's "Dracula" book).

I really enjoy the visuals in Nosferatu. Nosferatu and the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari are my two favorite old-school horror films.

This movie has a more creepy feel than a lot of new horror films.

I used to see him in Spongebob as a kid, that's the only reason I still remember him. Nice documentary on this, James.

I've been to Orava Castle. They have a very cool wood-carved statue of Orlok in the watchtower

It's so wholesome watching someone speak at length and in detail about something that they have so much passion for.

Wow a hundred years that's incredible for a movie

"Then who was playing with the lights?? Nosferatu! 😏😏😏 🙂"

A detail worth mentioning is that the main actor's name, Max Schreck, literally means "Maximum Fear/Terror" in German. This also gave rise to some legends and was believed to be a nickname, because it suited the part too much...

The fact that schreck is German for fright is actually one of the coolest things and makes Herr Schreck very mysterious for me haha.

Great film. Crazy to think it’s 100 years old already. Just shows how films like this can continue to be as incredible and influential a century later. Great video James.

I absolutely love the silhouette shot on the staircase. Legendary.

Just home from a screening in a local cinema. Seeing it on the big screen was such a treat, I appreciated it much more than past viewings at home, it's a beautiful and captivating film

The Halloween before the pandemic in 2019, I saw a screening with music provided by one of my music theory professors, a guy named Dr. Parsons. It was BRILLIANT. It was just him and his synthesizer, and he managed to capture the mood in such a way that I was constantly looking over my shoulder on the dark walk back to my apartment. Happy 100, Nosferatu, you wear it well!

This movie is still creepy to this day. The fact that it's made so close to when the book was written makes it even creepier. The shadows are just amazing.

Wow Nosferato is a 100 years old. That's so crazy.

100 years, what an accomplishment

The fact that James made a video on this is proof that he is more than the AVGN

If I didn't discover Cinemassacre, I will never knew these 1920's silent films. Because of that my favorite is Metropolis and I thanks James Rolfe for that.

The character is still one of horror's creepiest creations. I'd recommend Werner Herzog's remake too, one of the few great horror remakes in its own right.

I always thought that this movie was older than 100 years. Movies sure have come so far with the way they are now.

The name Orlok is based on Hungarian word "ördög" - "devil". I believe it was used only once in the book, in the scene where Gypsies saw Harker in the Dracula's castle.

This horror classic deserves to be remembered

You know someone is cool when they own "The Vampire Book".

This movie is unbelievably scary. It holds up better than most.

I really enjoy listening to James talking about classic horror movies. The passion he feels for the subject it's transmitted perfectly.

Whenever James Rolfe talks about horror movies, whether it be casual or Cinemassacre, he always talks about it with 100% passion and interest. His videos always stick out to me because he discusses the trivia too rather than just ripping on the movie.

Could listen to James talk horror all day. I remember there was a version of Nosferatu with Type O Negative for the soundtrack and an introduction by David Carradine. Interesting find

I like videos like this from James about the history of various film things. Very interesting.

Phenomenal film. The fact that it still holds up after 100 years just shows the power of the film image. Count Orlok is also still the best movie monster.

I've been to Orava castle! It was awesome seeing all of the areas from the movie!

It's still one of my favourite horror films. It never fails to send chills down my spine.

I actually watched Nosferatu at the start of the year because this year is the 100th anniversary. I'm not so worried about watching films on its specific original release date, just as long as I watch it sometime during the year. I had seen pictures of Count Orlok in horror movie books when I was a kid & was spooked. I wanted to see it, but didn't until I was an adult. One regret I have is starting to watch it on TV when I was a kid, but it was on really late at night & had school the next day, so I only started it for a few seconds. I think I was also too spooked to want to continue.

that dracula comparation video is one of my favourite videos, the amount of work put behind it is insane, and also, is not only work there, you have to actually know very well what you are talking about to be able to even start with a project like that. very few people in the world could probably be able to make that video. as for this one... 100 years now... i havent seen the movie, but today seens like the ideal day to do it

I wish I would have had a friend that was film "nerd" like James. I can't even imagine all the movies he shared with his friends that most of us have never even heard of.

My favorite version used Type O Negative as the soundtrack. Great movie and great music that fit oddly well for not being specifically written for each other.

Its said the most surrealist vampire movie ever.

I love the version that plays Type O Negative music as the score.

YES! Happy anniversary, Nosferatu! 🧛‍♂️

This movie made me, I’ll never forget its impact on me growing up and how it shaped my own creative inclinations.

I actually watched this last year, and i absolutely love it's visual style, the vampire just looks great on film and his castle, it's all instantly classic vibes, it's truly the inspiration for monster movies.

I have Nosferatu on a DVD that also has a couple of other vampire movies. Totally going to buy it again for high definition whenever I get the money to do so.

Who’s here after seeing the trailer today! 😁

Thank you, James, this is my favorite film ever made!

The video with the contest to see which movie is the most faithful to the book is terrific. I highly recommend that everyone check it out.

That's wild, I was just rewatching your old Frankenstein and Dracula retrospectives, and this comes up, nice!

I still have the version of Nosferatu on DVD I bought from Suncoast video back in the day, it had a metal soundtrack by Type O-Negative. It was pretty badass. Not for purists though obviously.

I'm glad i'm not the only one who bought multiple copies of this movie just to see different title cards and hear different compositions being used.

That was a groundbreaking movie. I still have the DVD and I saw it several times. Gorf Horlock is terrifying.

I remember years ago for Halloween, TCM showed nosferatu and produced their own soundtrack for it. It was fantastic

I have a DVD version with Type O Negative soundtrack.... fits perfectly!!!

I just love it when James talks about horror movies he likes. His enthusiasm is contagious

_"If that was you on the phone and you on the bus, then who was flickering the lights?"_ *~ Squidward Tentacles*

Man I love when James talks about stuff he really likes.

James knocked it out of the park with this video. 10/10

Thanks so much for including your thoughts about the tinting and the frame-rate. I absolutely love hearing those personal discrepancies in your stuff. I'm a sucker for the tinting. :P

I love you James, you got me into film, you got me into horror, you even got me into video games. I’ll be forever grateful.

Hearing James talk movies like this is as calming as watching Bob Ross paint.

Love Nosferatu. A true horror classic, whose influence and legacy can still be felt to this day. Great video as always James!

I was just talking about this yesterday with my wife. I’m so glad that it didn’t end up lost.

I have this movie save to a playlist of favorite movies it's a gem without a doubt

I never thought we live on an era when the classic silent movies have there 100th anniversary. I haven't watch the movie but i will one day. I like james reviews and thoughts on movies the video and commentary shows the knowledge he has.

In my opinion, caligari is the best introduction to silent films. The whole set is so dream-like and the lack of sound really makes you appreciate it. Also, worthy mention is Metropolis, it holds up so well even today.

I love this movie and it's all thanks to you for introducing it to me! It's now one of my absolute favourite films!

i am so incredibly happy to see another video like this from james.these are always my favorite.

I prefer this channels movie content in this style, simple, entertaining and informative. Keep it like this, James 👍

The movie itself may be 100 years old, but Max Schreck's performance is timeless!

Rewatched this one about a month ago and realized it’s been an entire 100 years. Happy to see you made this video as I originally watched it on your recommendation.

HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY, NOSFERATU!! Thank you so much for this video, James. I'm about to watch it right now!

I didn’t see this movie til 2019 on tubitv so seeing a video recently uploaded definitely reminds me of those memories

the only behind-the-scenes picture of Nosferatu that I've seen is a picture of Max Schreck sitting on a bench, in costume, covered in shadows. It is freaky

Thank you for these movie commentary videos. They are some of the most enjoyable and rewatchable ones- Including all the ones you’ve done for Monster Madness. Keep up the great work

Love your insight. Always a treat to hear these incredible deep dives

Actually the original color tint for the ship scene was a pinkish red color which was to mean dark but with obvious light or low light setting The blue tint was to mean being in very dark environments with very little light like the rooftop scene in phantom of the opera

He also appeared in the classic SB episode "Graveyard Shift" as the one flickering the lights at the end. :) EDIT: Happy 100th anniversary, Nosferatu!

I’ve been waiting for this review ever since you did the 100th anniversary of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. You’re the man, James!

James, I will always enjoy hearing you talk more than just about anything. I've enjoyed your content since 06. Thank you so much for all these years. Love ya man. Keep rockin. May all your future endeavors bring joy and happiness.

Castlevania also based a boss character Orlox on this masterpiece and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has a character named Orlok Dracule and looks like Alucard from later Castlevania games. This movie still is influencal af.

Nosferatu is my favorite Spongebob character

Thanks for the rundown. Love hearing you talk about movies.

This is a fantastic video. I love just hearing James talk about his old movie passion.

Like pretty much everyone my age, I only had heard of Nosferatu from that one SpongeBob gag, which having watched the film years later makes the joke all the more funny IMO.

I find silent films to be interesting to watch, and "Nosferatu" is a masterpiece!

1920s had some AWESOME movies. It's kind of an acquired taste to go back to the silent films but honestly they're really entertaining if you can get into it. When people are excited about a new medium they go all out trying to tell entertaining stories.

Happy 100th Nosferatu
