Nosferatu - 4 stars out of 10

A legend of the silent film era, Nosferatu tells the story of Dracula (but unsuccessfully tried to avoid copyright infringement by changing the names of the characters). Although the courts ordered all existing prints of the film to be destroyed, we are fortunate that a few survived and were restored so that we can relive this historic film. Max Schreck's make-up creates a horrific experience for anyone. Although I am not a fan of silent films, I can appreciate this one for its impressive 1920's cinematography and freakish main character.
