Where most Dracula films fail, Nosferatu succeeds.
Yet it still disappoints. Although unfaithful to the book, there's not enough running time to let the story unfold in a
more elaborate manner. That being said, it's underdeveloped in many aspects: characters, emotions, plot, mystery, and so on.
The biggest drawback is lighting. When it's supposed to be dark, the sun appears. It's annoying. I'll like to
see consistency. Make no mistake about it: Nosferatu is beautifully made and a prime example of German
Expressionist cinema.
All in all, Nosferatu is nothing to shout about, but it's a good silent movie.
