nosferatu

I saw it with a friend. I thought it was good, but not especially scary, but it really scared my friend. I think it's odd what frightens some people, but not others.

Fear, like humour, is a highly subjective emotion.
I can sit and watch films with beheadings, amputations, dismemberment, and a number of other ways to dismantle a human body and never get sick or grossed out.
However, show me a scene where someone gets an injection or has to sit in a dentist's chair and I'll be crawling the walls to get away from it.

I enjoyed this film very much, along with all the ones with Bela Lugosi as Dracula,IMHO Bela Lugosi IS Dracula,never to be bettered by ANYONE.But nosferatu is a really cool, atmospheric, vampire movie.

If you can find it watch The Black Cat. It stars Lugosi against Karloff as rivals carrying an ongoing hatred for each other.
And Lugosi plays the hero!

There are several different films under the title The Black Cat. One of the more well known versions was directed by Roger Corman and stars Vincent Price. That may be the one your thinking of. It was part of a series of films done for Amercian International back in the 50's and, the majority of them were based, somewhat, on E.A. Poe's stories.
The version I'm talking about was released by Universal Studios in the 1930's and the connection it has with the original Poe story is that Lugosi's character has a phobia caused by black cats.
Otherwise it is a completely original movie. The two main characters are still carrying hatreds caused by betrayals from the Great War. Karloff betrayed Lugosi to the Russians and then stole his wife. Now released from a gulag, Lugosi's character is trying to hunt down Karloff's character and seek vengence.
It is a tight psychological thriller dealing with how far a "good" man is willing to go to see justice done and how hard a "bad" person will go to overcome the mistakes of his past.
