It takes a fairly plodding pace, but still captures the creepiness of the original very well. But I do think it was an odd choice to change the character's name back to Dracula, since the work has gone into the public domain in intervening years. By doing that, doesn't the film become more a retelling of Dracula than a retelling of Nosferatu?

Almost every scene dracula is in is gold and very creepy (the first scene and the bed scene, goddamn). Other than that the movie drags (dracs) quite a bit and is quite slow and the music is sometimes very inappropriate too. And does Delft now have a rat problem because of this movie?

Strange film. Appreciated the visual emphasis--this plays like a silent film--and the atmospheric approach to the material. Reminiscent of Dreyer's of Vampyr in its dreamy quality. Also seems like something of a critique of modernist religion (faith is what allows us to believe in untrue things, she says, as she wears a cross around her neck).

The first two thirds of this film are a faithful remake of Murnau's classic, although as with nearly all remakes, it is naturally inferior to the original. However, the film does come into its own in the final act and establishes itself as equal in vision to the 1922 film. Still, it takes a bit too long to get to the meat and although I appreciate the craft of the film, I don't expect that it'll leave much of an impact on me.

Herzog updates a German classic with minor stylistic flourishes, including dialogue draped in stilted poetic language and the director's signature philosophizing about death, faith, and despair, expressionistic cinematography that pays tribute to the original in vivid, modern ways, and Kinski's predatory presence which, given who he is, can almost scarcely be called a "performance." A thoughtful, atmospheric envisioning of the tale that sadly carries very few new revelations with it.

Herzog's take on Dracula via remaking Nosferatu features an unsettling atmosphere bolstered by disease metaphors and hallucinatory editing. Unfortunately the atmosphere falters in the final act, and the ending twist is just sort of... there. Kinski is of course excellent as a more pathetic and pitiable Count, and the few scenes where he and Ganz appear together are marvelous acting showcases. If anything this needed more of such scenes!

Herzog's Nosferatu skillfully pays homage to Murnau's original while bringing a wealth of new ideas to the table. It's a masterclass in art damaged horror where the emphasis is on creating and sustaining an eerie otherwordly atmosphere that's deeply unsettling rather than outright horrific. Herzog's stark imagery casts a hypnotic spell with its evocative shadow play, gloomy color palette and off-kilter compositions, while Kinski is unforgettable as an existentially tormented Dracula.

While I missed the black and white atmosphere of the original, this Nosferatu is very good, if not scary. The film is slow, and long shots of the environment and a lack of effects add to the mood. Kinski's Dracula is creepy yet somewhat sympathetic. Lucy's rejection of faith in both God and science is interesting but her dialogue is forced. Once she declares, "Salvation is from ourselves alone," and then repels Dracula with a cross. I wonder if the irony was intended.
