"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."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

4/4
"...an achievement that reminds us that the simple, structured approaches towards the legend of Dracula are the ones that really terrify."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

A+
"This classic horror film is like a fine wine that only gets better with age..."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

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  James Kendrick

A
"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

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."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus
