"Possibly the best vampire movie ever made."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
"the plague-bearing Count Orlok (Schreck) embodies all the anxieties of a nation that had recently lost millions to indiscriminate, implacable death."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
2.5/5
"
Nosferatu
earns its place in the cinematic archives, but its accessibility to modern viewers is surely all but lost."
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
85/100
"Like the message, the acting will strike contemporary audiences as near hysterical, yet the actors’ expressionism is a perfect fit for the expressionism of the filmmaker."
Apollo Guide
Dan Jardine
3/5
"It’s a visual marvel and a inventive landmark in filmmaking history, but it’s also a bit too empty."

David Cornelius
4/4

3.5/4
"As vampire movies go, few are more memorable than
Nosferatu
, which is not only the first screen version of
Dracula
, but, in some ways, remains the best."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3.5/4
"A groundbreaking gothic film whose creative camerawork and dark cinematography is still copied in the movies of today."
Q Network Film Desk

"
Nosferatu
stills could easily fill a solid wing at an art gallery—they wouldn’t be out of place at the MOMA right next to its Picassos."
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
2.5/5
"It is difficult to watch
Nosferatu
simply because it is so hard to find a decent copy of the film."
Film Threat
Phil Hall
5/5
"Most likely the first horror film to express something beyond simple chills and thrills."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
4/4
"Watching
Nosferatu
is like standing in the same room as death itself."
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
4/4
"Still quite eerie"
sbs.is
Stefan Birgir Stefansson
A-
"Almost unique in imagining a vampire who is not darkly attractive, but corpselike and ghastly the imagery resists allegorization, remaining simply, unsettlingly, itself."
