ToxicUniverse.com (John Nesbit)
Based on Bram Stoker's original Dracula novel, F.W. Murnau's original silent Nosferatu remains the purest and most beautifully photographed vampire film of all time. We're fortunate to still have prints available because Stoker's widow justifiably ...read the complete Nosferatu movie review at ToxicUniverse.com (John Nesbit)
Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
One of Germany's master silent directors, F.W. Murnau ("Sunrise"/"The Last Laugh''), directs this most lyrically made of all the horror pics, "Nosferatu (plague-carrier)." It is the first and most straightforward vampire film ever made and is based on ...read the complete Nosferatu movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

The original is standard fare in film studies courses, one of the most screened silent films of all time, ...read the complete Nosferatu movie review at DVD Savant (Glenn Erickson)
SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review
Nosferatu is quite possibly the most amazing of all vampire films. This is so for several reasons. It is not simply because it was the very first vampire film. Nor is it because it survives today despite a lawsuit by Bram Stoker’s widow over its ...read the complete Nosferatu movie review at SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review
Classic Horror
An unauthorized (strongly unauthorized, as we'll see in a minute) version of Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula, Nosferatu is at least the earliest surviving cinematic appearance of that famed vampire, if not vampires in general (the first vampire appearance ...read the complete Nosferatu movie review at Classic Horror
Apollo Guide (Dan Jardine)
Nosferatu, F.W. Marnau’s creepy take on the Bram Stoker classic Dracula, was the first cinematic attempt to translate the late-Victorian novel, and oddly, despite its success at just about every level of filmmaking, it has been rarely imitated. ...read the complete Nosferatu movie review at Apollo Guide (Dan Jardine)
mazzyboi's movie page (Angelo Aquino)
This is the earliest movie I have yet seen. The film dates back to 1922 and is of course silent. Great story, nice use of lights and shadows to dramatize the presence of a vampire. I really watched this movie as sort of a warm up to the upcoming ...read the complete Nosferatu movie review at mazzyboi's movie page (Angelo Aquino)
