Nosferatu: The Gothic Industrial Mix

Rating:
Summary: Delirious
Review: Dark and deep realization, bigger with the new music

Rating:
Summary: Does not rock!!!
Review: I love the movie, but the music does not live up to gothic industrial. It was very quiet and repetitive. A few times it started to build, but then nothing.

My wife and I are so frustrated by this DVD soundtrack that we are going to make our own REAL gothic industrila soundtrack using tracks from Type O negative, Ministry, BauHaus, NIN, even King Diamond and Danzig!

Don't waste your money. Buy the cheap Nosferatu with the old soundtrack.

Summary: Nosferatu - Not just another pretty face.
Review: If Gothic you want, then Gothic this is- a pleasant diversion from all the modern, glam, vampire poseur films. Filmed in 1922, Nosfartu is an historic, horror masterpiece. Without fast-action fight sequences, without high-tech special effects, without even dialogue (remember this was filmed in 1922) the film simply exudes gothic ambiance. The score from Cleopatra Records is the perfect audio backdrop to the visual stimulus; And, the music is continuous throughout the film (good thing, this is a silent movie otherwise). You may also want to buy "Bram Stoker's Dracula (Coppola)" and "Shadow of the Vampire" as they yield more storyline and provide a (fictional?) documentary prelude to Nosferatu. The three films together comprise an interesting trilogy (or shall we say, orgy) of vampire cinema. Having recently viewed these two other films made the viewing of this film far more meaningful. This is no ordinary movie; don't expect to be entertained in an ordinary manner. Nosferatu is more 'feel' and 'attitude' than blatant bite-my-neck action. After several viewings you may find yourself listening to the soundtrack as primary entertainment, while the movie visuals provide secondary allure. On the complaint side- there were no printed materials included with the DVD-- no track listing, no historical by-lines. Nor does the DVD have any additional features. For these small omissions, "Nosferatu" falls slightly short of perfection, but rates a great 4 out of 5 stars.

Summary: Weird ...
Review: Seems like a good idea at first, to combine old visual with a modern audio.
Anyhow - it doesn't work. The 1920's interpretation has it's time-stamp, which is unique, unrepeatable, unreachable at any other time ...
Adding an industrial mix sounds to me just like a poor wash-pan-attempt of a couple of people, to parasite on a classic. Very simmilar to the puppets' "Hard Day's Night" given in Prague for foreigner.
My personal recomendation is - just walk it by.
I've ben force to rate i 1 star. IMHO - zero would suit better.
