Murnau ao plagiar o romance de Bran Stocker produziu uma obra prima revisitada década após década: imagine se a família do autor tivesse permitido a livre adaptação? 😊
@@rjd0429 Funny thing is a movie theater was called an odeon (some historical international movie theaters are still called odeons), and a cheap movie theater where you could watch a movie for a nickel was called a nickel odeon!
@@gilbertopadilla3611 Watch the movie in full. Good horror is not always about body count or zombies getting splattered. It can be more subtle than that.
Not only is it beautifully colourised, but - the smoothing of the action is amazing! I remember seeing the original in film class - jerky, too fast, almost comical. THIS. I can see the acting, the texture of hair, the flowing of clothing - a work of art. THIS is it!
Beautifully colorized? The image has constant chromatic aberration, flickering and possibly digital artifacts. Just the fact that this was attempted with AI is a crime. This video is the perfect manual for what NOT to do for film restoration. Literally.
To me what's harder is realizing that everyone, literally everyone from this movie (including the producers, writers, directors) is dead. Even their children are dead, most likely.
The main feature of Nosferatu that makes him frightening and fascinating is his reinterpretation of Dracula and the nature of vampirism. If Bram Stoker's Dracula was presented as a majestic commander, a lord of darkness, reveling in power and creating his own kind, then here Count Orlok is his complete opposite: Orlok is presented as an outcast, doomed to a curse in the form of immortality and eternal loneliness. He lives in rejection, alone with himself and with his essence, which radiates a sinister and negative aura. He is completely devoid of any romanticization and aggrandizement, but his existence, full of inner pain, causes mixed emotions. Here Nosferatu is more like a victim of disease, sowing plague and death. It is noteworthy how Murnau deftly handles the shadow, showing the viewer that not only the image of a vampire is terrifying, but also his silhouette.
It's very fascinating how this innovation in the story is really a return of form to the monstrous creature that is the Folkloric Vampire as opposed to the suave, Romantic and charismatic leader which Stoker pioneered in the Literary Vampire. And perhaps partially because of this faithful return to form, the other major inpactful plot innovation, Nosferatu's demise by sunlight, gripped the human psyche so much that we became convinced that this was also part and parcel of traditional vampire folklore. This is so much the case that scholars even speculated that the photophobic disease porphyria was an inspiration for the concept of the vampire, despite aversion to sunlight having no part in vampire folklore at all.
Werewolf. Yes vey well expressed. It is a mistake to romanticise the vampiric condition as it represents the desolation of one who is separated from his divinity, that which connects us to the source of life. Teenagers are attracted to the vampire figure because often they feel lonely and misunderstood. But as we mature, we realise that unless we embrace life with all its hurts and pain, we are condemning our selves to the abyss of HELL. Nothing romantic about that. Believe me.
orlok is a pure CREATURE. a mere animal like creature, a husk of a human but with all humanity gone, only instincts and desires. and once thats served, back to sleep. like a spider. just predatory.
waiched it at a cinema screening on halloween few years ago - the audience was laughing at it initially but went quiet as its awful power took hold - a masterpiece that needs to seen on a big screen
Oh man I would LOVE to see this done on the complete film. It still has that old look and feel, which lets it keep its charm. I'd have a bunch of friends over for a 100th anniversary screening.
Imagine seeing this in the theater in the early '20's?? The fear you must have felt? The camera work, editing and makeup are so advanced for the times. I belt they felt the pure evil of nosferatu!
@@eprggpepicragegameplays9290 I think most kids were at least a little creeped out but they liked it because the episode presents him as a goofball by the way the say his name and him smiling might have given some comfort because it makes him look friendly.
Creepy trivia: I live a couple of minutes from Friedrich Wilhelm Murnaus tomb in Stahnsdorf. I visited his grave one or two times since my father is on the same cemetary. Couple of years ago someone broke into Murnaus tomb, opened his casket and stole his skull. Seems like they found traces of lit candles in his tomb. I think police suspected it to be some kind of ritualistic stuff, maybe connected to satanism. Maybe the candles were just used as a light source, nobody knows. To this day his skull never was found and nobody was suspected. To think that someone has the skull of the director of "Nosferatu" in his possession is incredibly creepy... BTW: Max Schreck's grave is in the same area, but i've read that he had no name on his grave for many years. One of the most influential horror actors of all time pretty much had an anonomynous grave for years. I think nowadays he has some kind of headstone with his name on again.
I think sometimes people from outside of SE Europe forget that it's really a rather wonderful place full of history and scenic views, despite the overall spookiness it has become linked with. I'd love to go there sometime but I prefer to speak at least one slavic language before going there, just as I would for example want to speak french before going to france.
@@aburninglandfillofbadmovie2930 That would be fine but it’s impossible. Nobody in the world speaks Slovakian language except the Slovakians. And unfortunately the same Slavic countries have big differences between them (they are common like 20%). It’s not the same like learning Spanish and going to Latin America where you have so many choices and every country will understand you. Apart from that, in Europe nowadays everybody speaks at least 1 language (always including English), so you will never have any problem with communication.
I think that’s what a lot of modern horror films are missing. Just pure atmospheric horror. The irony is that horror isn’t necessarily meant to scare you per se as they’re meant to creep you out and get under your skin. Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is literal proof of this. While it’s tame compared to other horror film, I genuinely do no want to watch this in a dark/dimly lit room
How fantastic was that, a master film lesson by Murnau. This period of German film expressionism is unsurpassed IMHO. Lets hope they remaster them all.
And almost a 100 years later Nosferatu becomes Peter in What We Do In The Shadows - one of the funnest comedies made. Now I get the inspiration for the character better.
It's amazing how this 100 year old movie has some of the best camera angles, you can feel the fear to the unknown, and obviously, the fear to Nosferatu

I dunno if anyone noticed this, but the restoration made it feel like it's a multi layred stage play. Movies like that, back then, must have been really special.
I like how he isn't "sleeping" in his coffin like Vampires in most other adaptations, but literally lying there as a corpse, with his eyes wide open, completely unresponsive to any stimuli.
The only major detail is seeing it in a more 3D atmosphere thanks to color differentiation. As for the rest, its just sickly scribbles and guesswork at color.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Considering that every copy we have of this film effectively originates from a single fairly poor quality print, this is probably the highest res we'll ever see of this masterpiece. I'm sure I don't need to tell you about how all copies were ordered destroyed by the Stoker estate & this movie was once considered lost. Until a complete (poor, but consistent & above all - projectable) copy emerged by chance all we had were copies with sections that were practically unviewable or had completely decayed, or just fragments, some of which were literally turning to dust. We're lucky we have it at all, never mind that we can see it like this. Effectively all you're doing is whining about the process of digital restoration with degraded source material. How about instead of that you simply appreciate how amazing this is? However if this really isn't good enough for you then you can just go & imagine the whole film in 8k with 100% accurate colour correction being projected at an IMAX or something. Or maybe counter sue the Stoker estate for suing Murnau. Honestly STFU.
@@runlarryrun77 you've read me as the opposite person so theres that runner. What I mean is the unnecessary addition of color via a robot ai machine that definitely messes with the films likeness, but this is in no way a bad variation, just a little bit over the top. What enrages me is that the person who did this puts almost no effort into making this, then the algorithm comes along and starts fucking complimenting their precious modern equipment saving a pwecious owld fiwlm from looking anything other than 4k high resolution. Heaven forbid we watch the original in its lesser quality. - I'll put it like this, I don't hate the people who make the video, after all everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's the just moment when it becomes unmistakably popular and unfair with point and shoot algorithm children praising anything modern immediately believing it to be an improvement to the past. An obsession with changing the past despite the past already being more modern and more ahead than any of those sad fools could even comprehend it being.

It’s really amazing what AI can do these days. I think the result will end up even better in a few years from now when those weird jumps in light exposure and color become smoother.
I have to say I disagree. The physical source material isn't great. We all know what happened to the original prints of this film. Everything we have ever seen of this film comes from damaged sources & technology can only do so much. I really don't think we'll see a great deal of improvement over this.
Or we can simply support the manual work of those who professionally restore, remaster and colorize films, like the Murnau Foundation, instead of sitting around waiting for a machine to do any kind of artistic work in a mediocre way surpassing craftsmanship and handwork. (Let it be noted that I'm subscribe to this channel and that I love these videos, as well as their results. But you should not bet on this type of dangerous technology).
The shot of his face pearing through the crack of the coffin lid is nightmarish. Salems lot absolutely ripped the character off, but I'll take it as a homage to the great work done 100 years ago.
Okay, gotta be honest… changing the framerate after the fact looks especially bad when it’s a silent movie, because those weren’t even 24fps. They play back at that rate on Blu-Rays, using the pulldown method (double some frames so it still looks like it’s playing at a slower rate) but it’s not actually a standard framerate. The fastest one ever made was actually only 16fps, so there isn’t even enough data to really interpolate frames from. At best, this looks like 16fps with a few blurry optical effects thrown over it to simulate motion blur. An interesting technical experiment, to be sure; but not one that I think leads to the conclusion that it enhances the original, or suggests that we should do this to more silent films (please don’t).
100 years on and this is still my favourite scene from Morbius. 😂 Jokes aside though this movie is wonderful and the colourisation was done beautifully, would love to see the full movie done this way.
I recently bought the Blu Ray (Masters of Cinema version) and was astonished at its quality. I thought this movie could never look good since the negatives and all good prints were destroyed. But it looked pretty damn good to me. One moment I remember was watching Hutter waking up and seeing the food that Orlok has laid out for him. Only on the Blu Ray was it visible that Hutter sees the food and gets a giant, goofy grin on his face, like Peter Griffin from Family Guy. I admit that did make me laugh.

@@thethinredline4714 mam, tf is wrong with you with spaming Herzog's film?? Are you his son or something? Tho that version isn't even near to Murnau's original.
Hi Saltech! It just happens the same to me! Incredible master. I think even the fact of "destroyed negatives" give it a point, in the way of orange-blue atmosphere generate. It happens a lot that some things are only visible on a Blu-Ray copy. And as a movie collector, I love it! Cheers!
Hm. Unless an original print emerges in near perfect condition this is the best it will get. Not gonna happen. Plus wasn't this filmed originally at 18fps? So not sure exactly what you'll achieve uprating to 24fps? The technology involved will still need to "make" 6 extra frames per second to stabilise & run at 24fps. At 60fps it keeps the original 18, creates 24 copies of those original frames adjusted accordingly for movement, then still only has to "make" 6 extra frames to stabilise. If you're going to do these things then you may as well go big or go home. Who even uses 24fps any more anyway other than hipsters with old Russian 8mm cameras?
@@runlarryrun77 24 fps is the standard of most Hollywood films. 60 fps for film can make it look like a TV production. Maybe I don't understand the difficulty in this process, but if they're already using AI or some other tool to make it 60, I'm not sure why 24 would be so difficult.
In some aspects me what I meant is it appears closer to the current time when seen in colour while black and while makes it look so much older and far removed to today imo.
It's amazing how many of the buildings used in the exterior shots still exist in an instantly recognizable form. You can find lots of videos from "Nosferatus Castle", but not many of the other locations. "Nosferatu - making of - the language of shadows HC" is the exception. They visit almost every site from the film. It's 53 minutes long, but well worth the time.
It really is genius direction isn’t it? It reminds me of this creepy video I saw as a little kid on RUclips. It’s a fake video of course but you don’t know that as a kid, but it’s a pov of someone poking out of their room and looking down a dark hall to see a figure standing there in the shadows. I think this 100 year old movie perfectly captures the eerie feeling of looking down a dark hall only to see the scariest thing your mind can come up with
Schreck looks unhuman! It’s interesting to think that there were some early color techniques which sometimes resemble the look of film decades later than this around the time of this film. In 1925 a movie called "Seven Chances" was released who’s opening sequence was one of the first to use a two-color film technique. The effect is rather subtle, but it adds a surprising bit of depth to the footage that makes it look almost like some home videos from 1950s I’ve seen.
Your colour work is of such a high standard - not every film needs to be coloured in - but this is so good - I have said elsewhere - two versions can exist - well done
@@Guenter34 yeah the whole movie is actually on yt, but its the original format, b/w, i think he means if they could upload the whole movie colorized in 60fps
I’m genuinely impressed just how creepy this film is, especially given that it’s 100 years old. Just goes to show the horror doesn’t necessarily need to scare you per se, it’s just needs to get under your skin. The cinematography, score, the other worldly aspect of German expressionism. Again, it’s not necessarily scary but it’s creepy AF
I just thought, before i clicked on the video,about how movies back in the 20s aren't really that scary nowadays but this one scene in Nosferatu really scared me as an adult. It was this exact scene where Count Orlok just Stands there, looking right into the camera from across the room and you just see his face, hands and shadow.
The 1927 movie Metropolis, directed by Fritz Lang, would be interesting to see restored. Ms. Thea von Harbou's vision of humankind rising up against the ruling machines.

Effectively all you're doing is whining about the process of digital restoration with degraded source material.
How about instead of that you simply appreciate how amazing this is?
However if this really isn't good enough for you then you can just go & imagine the whole film in 8k with 100% accurate colour correction being projected at an IMAX or something. Or maybe counter sue the Stoker estate for suing Murnau. Honestly STFU.
@@runlarryrun77 you've read me as the opposite person so theres that runner.
What I mean is the unnecessary addition of color via a robot ai machine that definitely messes with the films likeness, but this is in no way a bad variation, just a little bit over the top. What enrages me is that the person who did this puts almost no effort into making this, then the algorithm comes along and starts fucking complimenting their precious modern equipment saving a pwecious owld fiwlm from looking anything other than 4k high resolution. Heaven forbid we watch the original in its lesser quality.
- I'll put it like this, I don't hate the people who make the video, after all everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's the just moment when it becomes unmistakably popular and unfair with point and shoot algorithm children praising anything modern immediately believing it to be an improvement to the past. An obsession with changing the past despite the past already being more modern and more ahead than any of those sad fools could even comprehend it being.
You should try the Werner Herzog retelling of this story from 1979 certainly does a good job and keeps the raw feeling you describe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosferatu_the_Vampyre
The clarity of the film is amazing....looks so modern and crisp. Mindblowing.
the magic of celuloid film
I remember watching a triple feature on ChillerTV one late night when I was young during the month of October. This, Horror Hotel, & Carnival of Souls is what was on that night and I will never forget how creeped out I was after watching those. Especially being home alone living in the middle of nowhere. It really gets to you. Happy Halloween, everybody! Stay safe out there! 🎃
101 years old and I still get the shivers

It’s really amazing what AI can do these days. I think the result will end up even better in a few years from now when those weird jumps in light exposure and color become smoother.
I have to say I disagree. The physical source material isn't great. We all know what happened to the original prints of this film. Everything we have ever seen of this film comes from damaged sources & technology can only do so much. I really don't think we'll see a great deal of improvement over this.
Or we can simply support the manual work of those who professionally restore, remaster and colorize films, like the Murnau Foundation, instead of sitting around waiting for a machine to do any kind of artistic work in a mediocre way surpassing craftsmanship and handwork.
(Let it be noted that I'm subscribe to this channel and that I love these videos, as well as their results. But you should not bet on this type of dangerous technology).
My great Grandma was born that year, she just turned 100
This is great. You can read the facial expressions easier this way.
Woow happy 100th Anniversary Nosferatu Wooow I'm amazed
credit to all who worked on this !
beautiful work .
you did these people proud !
One of my favourite movies ever! Thank you so much!
So surreal to watch it in 4K
It hasn't felt this fresh since I first watched it on opening day. Ah, to be 30 again...
This one is really amazing.Thank you very much.
The shot of his face pearing through the crack of the coffin lid is nightmarish. Salems lot absolutely ripped the character off, but I'll take it as a homage to the great work done 100 years ago.
Okay, gotta be honest… changing the framerate after the fact looks especially bad when it’s a silent movie, because those weren’t even 24fps. They play back at that rate on Blu-Rays, using the pulldown method (double some frames so it still looks like it’s playing at a slower rate) but it’s not actually a standard framerate.
The fastest one ever made was actually only 16fps, so there isn’t even enough data to really interpolate frames from. At best, this looks like 16fps with a few blurry optical effects thrown over it to simulate motion blur.
An interesting technical experiment, to be sure; but not one that I think leads to the conclusion that it enhances the original, or suggests that we should do this to more silent films (please don’t).
So courteous that he closed the door.
Awesome video. Never have ever seen colorized version before 😊
There was some versions before
How cool it would be to add SFX to this, foot steps, candle wiggling, wind blowing the creaking door open etc.
0:18 is such a scary shot
Saw this back when I was younger in 1922. Still gives me chills now. The new one they are making this year wont beat this
100 years on and this is still my favourite scene from Morbius. 😂
Jokes aside though this movie is wonderful and the colourisation was done beautifully, would love to see the full movie done this way.
Webern's music. I knew it. How appropriate. A contemporary.
So damn freaky ! Orlok in 4k chills me.
Wow this is so clearly, you can see everything so much better, specially Hutters facial expressions
I recently bought the Blu Ray (Masters of Cinema version) and was astonished at its quality. I thought this movie could never look good since the negatives and all good prints were destroyed. But it looked pretty damn good to me.
One moment I remember was watching Hutter waking up and seeing the food that Orlok has laid out for him. Only on the Blu Ray was it visible that Hutter sees the food and gets a giant, goofy grin on his face, like Peter Griffin from Family Guy. I admit that did make me laugh.

@@thethinredline4714 mam, tf is wrong with you with spaming Herzog's film?? Are you his son or something?
Tho that version isn't even near to Murnau's original.
Hi Saltech!
It just happens the same to me!
Incredible master. I think even the fact of "destroyed negatives" give it a point, in the way of orange-blue atmosphere generate.
It happens a lot that some things are only visible on a Blu-Ray copy. And as a movie collector, I love it!
Cheers!
@@Dwight.K.Schrute I think it is
Had me on the edge of my seat!
Nosferatu brought back to life.
people in 1922 were probably shitting bricks when this movie dropped
Awesome stuff, luv it👍
Damn! Looks amazing, congratulations, great job!
I'd personally prefer it in 24 fps, but it would be so interesting to see what could be done with this film even just five years from now.
Hm. Unless an original print emerges in near perfect condition this is the best it will get. Not gonna happen. Plus wasn't this filmed originally at 18fps? So not sure exactly what you'll achieve uprating to 24fps? The technology involved will still need to "make" 6 extra frames per second to stabilise & run at 24fps. At 60fps it keeps the original 18, creates 24 copies of those original frames adjusted accordingly for movement, then still only has to "make" 6 extra frames to stabilise.
If you're going to do these things then you may as well go big or go home. Who even uses 24fps any more anyway other than hipsters with old Russian 8mm cameras?
@@runlarryrun77 24 fps is the standard of most Hollywood films. 60 fps for film can make it look like a TV production.
Maybe I don't understand the difficulty in this process, but if they're already using AI or some other tool to make it 60, I'm not sure why 24 would be so difficult.
Excellent choice of music.
When Bilbo has nightmares...
So amazing seriously - I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to see the whole movie like this!!!
Фильм столетней давности цепляет сильнее современных хорорров.
The was Hutter goes up the stairs gets me every time It’s like a scared cat
Colour always brings history to life and makes it seem a lot more connected to the present and less distant than a black and white picture would show.
But it also looks worse
In some aspects me what I meant is it appears closer to the current time when seen in colour while black and while makes it look so much older and far removed to today imo.
It's amazing how many of the buildings used in the exterior shots still exist in an instantly recognizable form.
You can find lots of videos from "Nosferatus Castle", but not many of the other locations.
"Nosferatu - making of - the language of shadows HC" is the exception. They visit almost every site from the film. It's 53 minutes long, but well worth the time.
If that was you on the phone, and you on the bus, then who was flickering the lights?
So good. Thank you for this ❤️
Amazing.
Now even more apparent how he kept his eyes wide open without blinking through every scene :O
THIS IS AWESOME
Webern’s music from 1913 works quite well here!
Such a beautifully filmed movie and stands the test of time. Watched the Bela Lugosi Dracula movie and it pails in comparison.
Pales
Bela still rocks the cape though... Just differently...
No dracula will ever outdo this one...it set the standard for horror.
Excellent piece of work!
Can we all agree that 0:18 is the scariest scene in the history of horror movies
It really is genius direction isn’t it? It reminds me of this creepy video I saw as a little kid on RUclips. It’s a fake video of course but you don’t know that as a kid, but it’s a pov of someone poking out of their room and looking down a dark hall to see a figure standing there in the shadows. I think this 100 year old movie perfectly captures the eerie feeling of looking down a dark hall only to see the scariest thing your mind can come up with
We certainly can't, and don't, all agree; but you and some others might think that and that's fine, just fine.
True. It's amazing that Robert Eggers kinda recreates this scene in the remake but instead of Nosferatu alone, he stands with a dog in the darkness.
Schreck looks unhuman!
It’s interesting to think that there were some early color techniques which sometimes resemble the look of film decades later than this around the time of this film. In 1925 a movie called "Seven Chances" was released who’s opening sequence was one of the first to use a two-color film technique. The effect is rather subtle, but it adds a surprising bit of depth to the footage that makes it look almost like some home videos from 1950s I’ve seen.
Ya un siglo de esta Joya y Obra Maestra del Horror y el cual aún en nuestro tiempos es reconocido en la cultura moderna, Nosferatu.
joya
Your colour work is of such a high standard - not every film needs to be coloured in - but this is so good - I have said elsewhere - two versions can exist - well done
Nice Upscale! Happy 100th Nosferatu! Could you upload the whole movie like this?
I'm pretty sure the whole movie is on RUclips somewhere. Maybe I saw it on Tubi.
@@Guenter34 yeah the whole movie is actually on yt, but its the original format, b/w, i think he means if they could upload the whole movie colorized in 60fps
@@Guenter34 It is, and so is Metropolis.
Really good and clear details on Max Shreek's face and eyes. Creepy.
I’m genuinely impressed just how creepy this film is, especially given that it’s 100 years old. Just goes to show the horror doesn’t necessarily need to scare you per se, it’s just needs to get under your skin. The cinematography, score, the other worldly aspect of German expressionism.
Again, it’s not necessarily scary but it’s creepy AF
I just thought, before i clicked on the video,about how movies back in the 20s aren't really that scary nowadays but this one scene in Nosferatu really scared me as an adult. It was this exact scene where Count Orlok just Stands there, looking right into the camera from across the room and you just see his face, hands and shadow.
Still creepy 100 years later.
Max Schreck was absolutely one of those actors born to play a certain role.
Incredibly authentically atmospherically creepy!
So no one is alive that saw this when it came out huh ? Pretty crazy. Glad we have this to check out !
Very good color
I was 11 years old when I first saw this at the amphitheater movieplexicadium in 1922, still gives me the hajeeba habas.
Silent film is it's own art form. This alone proves it.
The 1927 movie Metropolis, directed by Fritz Lang, would be interesting to see restored.
