Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror was not horrifying, nor did it have a symphony. But what can you expect from a remastered 1920s horror movie? It would be nice to hear whatever the oringinal "score" was to the film, but I'll put up with the modern soundtrack (although it was a bit cheesy at times). I thought the movie was pretty interesting and the vampire, Nosferatu, was actually a pretty creepy looking guy. The plot itself was pretty weak, the earlier German film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari had a much more interesting plot (plus Caligari didn't completely rip off Bram Stoker's Dracula). Nevertheless, Nosferatu is a classic for a reason: it is interesting to see and overall pretty weird.
4 stars
