98 years ago audiences were introduced to Nosferatu. Released on the 4the March in 1922. This silent era classic has stood the test of time and to this day still one of the greatest horror movies made. Despite its fame and history it is a bootleg and unauthorised adaptation of Dracula. The director changed the characters names to avoid copyright. This vampire was called Count Orlok. The stoker family had sued this due to the copyright breach. A court order had enforced all copies were to be destroyed. Luckily a few survived and were found and became of cinemas most influential horror movies. The atmosphere in the movie is fantastic. The use of shadows is used expertly. The scene where you see the sinister counts shadow glide up the stairs is one of the most iconic scenes in movie history. The ominous build up. As a famous critic once said. " it doesn't scare us but it haunts us". Directed by F.W Murnau he had crafted one of the finest horror movies of all time. The fact that 98 years later ,the films legacy is treasured worldwide. Max Schreck as Count Orlok steals the show. This isnt your suave and debonair Dracula lustily seducing the ladies. This vampire is beastial, almost feral. This nosferatu is a predator and he feels like one slowly stalking his prey. May this movies legend never be forgotten. Without this movie, horror would never have been the same I give this a 10/10 Viewer beware......... your in for a scare ~mr Hare #nosferatu #horror #horrorfans #horrorfansworldwide #classichorror #silenterafilms #vampire #vampiremovies #countorlok #maxschreck #blackandwhitemovies #germanhorrormovies #dracula #draculamovies #legendaryfilms #influentialmovies #scary https://www.instagram.com/p/CEFUGOeFeYE/?igshid=1ngmmdpdw4o8r

G is for Germany on day 10 of #31daysofhorror ! I watched "Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari" (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) from 1920, directed by Robert Wiene. I'm slightly embarrassed to say this was my first time watching (though I studied scenes and researched the film in school, I never sat down and watched it through). Arguably THE first horror movie, this is well worth a watch! I love the set designs and overall style of the film with all its points and curves showing us how this world is neither a normal nor a safe place. Even the town church in the backdrop appears as a demon face watching over its residents. Dr. Caligari and his "somnambulist," Cesare, make a genuinely creepy pair and it's a bit unsettling just how much control/power Caligari has here and how seemingly helpless almost everyone else is. In one scene we find Caligari feeding Cesare spoonfuls as the human-puppet sits up in his coffin bed obeying his master like a well-behaved child. I could go on but I'll just say watch this film! There a few versions on YouTube for free. #thecabinetofdrcaligari #dascabinetdesdrcaligari #germanhorrormovie #germancinema #silentmovie #worldcinema #abcsofhorror
