becomes a prisoner of the vile vampire, he heads for Bremen bringing with him a strange plague that baffles local doctors.
Can Harker get back in time to save his beloved wife Nina from the clutches of Dracula.
THE OPINION:
An interesting version of the Stoker novel. Even though I think the makers of the DVD should have made it in letter form,
the cue cards were a little hard to read.
I GIVE NOSFERATU (7 STARS)
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):
+ CREATURE EFFECTS (Some impressive vampire effects that still has vew equals)
+ STORY (The story is basically Dracula, so of course it works)
+ ACTING (The acting is pretty good, for a silent)
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):
- NO LETTERBOX VERSION (I don't know if all the DVD versions are like this, but the one I have isn't letterboxed and it makes
it hard to read)
AND FINALLY...
- NOT FOR EVERYONE (If you don't like horror or silents, then this isn't for you)
