The Horror, The Horror

[Insidious Von]

Today is the 100th Anniversary of the release of Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horrors.

I saw it in high school, it was extremely creepy for silent film. The vampire bringing plague rats to the town from the death ship in particular. Bram Stoker's widow didn't want her husband's book made into film, so Dracula is known as Count Orloc.

It does not say when the GOAT Dracula is coming out.

The film is called Renfield with Nicolas Cage as Dracula. Atom Egoyan's wife is in the cast. It's Chris McKay's first live action film, he's previously made the Lego films. Will Arnett was way better than the POS as Batman.

An all time favorite. Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!

You don’t look that old.

Grazie Indiana sono comosso.

The problem with today's horror films, the fixation on gore. The power to disturb has been lost. Film Noir was all about disturbing, the Queen of Noir Gene Tierney: Leave her to Heaven. Before Anthony Perkins came along this was the most disturbing scene.

Janet Leigh and Vera Miles were sex machines in the late 50's/early 60's, perfect casting by Signiore Hitchcock.

No one would survive The Green Inferno. Eli Roth's most disturbing film.

 

[Insidious Von]

Imho Christopher Lee is the best Dracula, The Mighty Nicolas Cage has big shoes to fill.

 

[Insidious Von]

With all due respect to Nicolas Cage, the original The Wicker Man is one of the most disturbing films ever made.

I put this in the wrong thread. Bernard Herrmann scored several of Hitchcock's American films, this is his most famous.
