It was probably the first real great horror film I watched. <br /><br />I took a while on this. I found as I was writing the finishing touches this morning it was starting to get away from me. There is much more I could say about this film, but I had to restrain myself. This film fools one into thinking it's held down by Hammer trappings in the first act, but it's much more an art film than a typical Hammer boobs and blood vampire pic (not that there's anything wrong with those). There's also a really bad rip-off "sequel" to this out there, starring Kinski as well. In that case I'd flip back to the A-Team.Lee Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611679296214391643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685069852956056818.post-21930250644556470152012-09-30T15:27:09.564-03:002012-09-30T15:27:09.564-03:00I am touched.
Rarely have I read such a heartfelt...I am touched.<br /><br />Rarely have I read such a heartfelt love letter to cinema both as art and entertainment. I've seen Nosferatu - at least in part - in the 80s and on television. I remember thinking it was another Channel 4 ode to Euro trash. I probably switched over to watch the A-Team. Well now that I don't watch the A-Team anymore perhaps it's time to revisit Nosferatu on your recommendation. It sounds like nothing released this year can compete.Thrill Fictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05427831538863621173noreply@blogger.com
