it's also really good. Kinski is unbelievably creepy!
I remember a few years ago (was in my late teens) I taped a bunch of horror films from channel 4 (I must've been a horror night). I remember Takashi Miike's Audition, Peeping Tom (which I think is why I taped the night, the others were a bonus I tapped by mistake) Blaire Witch Project and the first silent I ever saw... The Phantom of the opera.
I know this has nothing to do with nosferatu, but it probably started my interest in silents and I probably would never have thought of watching Nosferatu if it hadn't been for Phantom of the Opera (which really surprised me, because i never knew this film exsisted. I thought POTO the musical was the original
)
