Oppressively pretentious.

Freaky films are meant to be shared, in the dark, like campfire tales...

It's a curious mix: at times deliriously hammy, at others melancholy, contemplative and oddly beautiful.

Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht needed to be at once profoundly beautiful and as seductive as it was horrific. Isabelle Adjani’s ethereal Lucy that provides part of the immense beauty of the film, especially when she is paired with the beastly Klaus Kinski.
