Despite the various versions and adaptations of the classic vampire, F. W. Murnau's film remains relevant and confirms its mark on the history of cinema for its expressionist representation of evil. [Full review in Spanish].

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 25, 2025

Nosferatu crystallizes the essence of gothic horror, presenting evil’s sway as an unbreakable trance.

| Jan 22, 2025

Watching Nosferatu is like stepping into another realm, one where fear isn’t screamed but whispered.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 6, 2024

The work as a whole is impossible to dismiss; the influence of Murnau's unauthorized adaptation is no less than monumental.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 25, 2024

Responsible for starting things off for horror (Dracula/vampire) films, Nosferatu leaves quite a bite thanks to its iconic lead performance and use of practical effects wizardry. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 9, 2024

…a fully realised version of the Dracula myth, and even today has the power to disconcert and create unease in a world struggling to reach the post-pandemic phase…

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 26, 2022

The first screen adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” in everything but name, F.W. Murnau’s "Nosferatu"... remains the most beautiful and resonant interpretation of the defining vampire novel.

| Oct 15, 2022

Nosferatu is undoubtedly worth the time needed to check the film out with still iconic and masterful uses of practical effects and filmmaking techniques to create a visually engaging and haunting experience.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 28, 2022

Do not expect subtlety. With only title cards, symbolism, and a broader style of acting than we are accustomed to, Murnau makes use of them all to propel his story forward.

One of the masterpieces of silent

It long earned its place among the most terrifying films of all-time; maybe it's time it took its place as one of the most progressive on a thematic level.

This dark, lacerating work is a response, passed through the director's ... artistic filters, to the monumental devastation of the war (and the 1918 flu pandemic related to it, which also killed tens of millions).

| Feb 26, 2021

The action of the picture is so disconnected as to make the continuity confusing. However, this one certainly holds interest, for its extreme weirdness and its unusual photography.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 8, 2021

Nosferatu remains the best vampire movie of all time. It possesses a strain of sheer dread not captured by any subsequent bloodsucker film.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 28, 2020

F.W Murnau's 1922 Gothic masterpiece in many ways, paved the way for genre horror films and completely encapsulated audiences at the time of its release.

| May 30, 2020

It's remarkable, by contrast with all the films that have appropriated the stair shot, that Murnau's Nosferatu avoids any such shortcuts: turning leafy landscapes into places of horror, playing violence as romance, and romance as violence.

| Mar 26, 2020

Completely lacking in gratuity and malice: it creates all of its dramatic effect from the simple interplay between light and dark, and the suggestion of Nosferatu's diabolism.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 1, 2019

One of the best and most beautiful horror classics.

| Aug 2, 2019

Nosferatu is the seminal moment for horror cinema.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 14, 2014

So this is it: ground zero, the birth of horror cinema.
