| twilit said: This whole thread and not one mention of Murnau's Nosferatu. Tsk, tsk. The first Dracula film which is arguably the most frighting, eerie adaptation.
Also I couldn't agree more Madman and Lolita about Twilight. Both the book and the movie are crap. The fact that so many people go crazy over it annoys the hell out of me >.> |
Nosferatu is pretty terrifying...I can imagine today's audience looking at it for 10 minutes(if that) and laughing out loud. Did anyone else see Shadow of the Vampire? Here's a summary I plucked from imdb:
Shadow of the Vampire is a film about the making of Nosferatu. The production of Nosferatu had to deal with a lot of strange things (some crew members disappeared, some died). This movie focuses on the difficult relationship between Murnau, the director, and Schreck, the lead actor.
Max Schreck's performance in the classic film Nosferatu has become legendary. What if the reason he was so good is that he really was a vampire? That's the premise of this film, which features director F.W. Murnau so enamored with creating the perfect vampire film that he seeks out an actual member of the undead to play the title role. But when Schreck starts taking more and more advantage of the opportunities to feed he suddenly has, can Murnau come to his senses and destroy him?
Cast is very interesting with John Malkovich, Eddie Izzard, Willem Dafoe, Udo Kier, Cary Elwes. More of a drama with touches of horror and some very entertaining hamming up.
Playing: Borderlands(great co-op,HUGE amount of content),Too Human(better late than never lol),Saints Row 3(Penetrator ftw),Minecraft 360,Harry Potter Lego.
Patiently waiting for: Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2
