Fans of the horror genre will immediately note that Nosferatu has served as the template outline for nearly all films in the monster horror genre. Between the Gothic atmosphere and Max Schreck’s unsettling performance, Nosferatu has cemented itself as the silent era’s greatest horror film. The films strengths come primarily from the visual style made to manipulate the audience’s emotions, an effect not lost in the modern era – horror and monster fans should ensure they have this iconic film on their watched list.
