Ok wow actually this one was so cool. As you guys know, I didn't get to talk in this video because I had laryngitis but by the end I was really wishing I'd saved this one because I had THOUGHTS!! So many thoughts!! I may even do a re-watch in future so I can discuss what I was thinking. I thought it was SO cool! Blown away they pulled this off in 1922!! And to be honest -- don't come for me!! -- I maybe even liked it more than Coppola's version?!?!?! One question I have though: the music, it's not original right? That lady's voice throughout was the only thing I didn't really like. It felt much too modern to be in that score. The rest of the score I liked a lot!! Let me know what you guys think of this one, excited to hear your thoughts :)

This is something I wasn’t expecting but still very happy to see, cause Jen can make anything she watches entertaining! 😊

Mastervodo

I do love it when reactors try new things and shake things up a bit. I am sorry though that you had to be sick for this one though Jen! Hope you are feeling better!

Gadabout

Thank you Jen! Hope you're on the mend!

Curran Dobbs

This is a different version from the one I own on Bluray (no singing lady on my Bluray version).

Kevin Kuenn

Now that you've seen Nosferatu, next October maybe add Shadow of the Vampire into the mix. It helps to have seen Nosferatu first.

Kevin Kuenn

Yeah this is a problem with modern releases of a lot of silent movies, the music is different with every release. But then, that does reflect the reality of what it was like to see them 100 years ago, since generally they would've been accompanied by a live organist who would just make up their own score however they liked. So it every theater was different back then, too.

Rob Nichols

Can't wait to watch this one. Lots of silent films have had modern music tracks added, I always look for versions without it. But a lot of silent films didn't really have an official score, just music played live during the presentation. Hope you're on the mend.

Darryl Low

Looking forward to watching this with you Jen. When this movie came out, it was considered a Dracula rip-off, so much so that the Bram Stoker estate sued and demanded that all the prints were destroyed. Some survived and after many restorations over the years, bit by bit they have pieced it back together to try and get the most complete version. Orlok is played by Max Shreck. Tim Burton, who is a big fan of this movie, gave the name Max Shreck to Christopher Walken's character in Batman Returns 🧛‍♂️

Harvey Lee

I can hardly wait for this as it will be a unique reaction from you Jen. Interesting to see how your expressions will come through for this Yes be well . And I will be eagerly locked into this .

Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson

You should do a regular reaction of Shadow of the Vampire, which is fictionalized account of the making of Nosferatu.

Helly R

Most of the original score was lost, so there's lots of versions with other scores. There's reconstructions based on 40mins of the Hans Erdmann original that survives in various forms, otherwise if you rewatched I'd maybe go for the one with a score by James Bernard (who did many of the Hammer horror movies). It's big, dramatic and classical. Similarly I would def recommend the restored full Metropolis (2hr23) with the original score by Gottfried Huppertz. Most physical editions you get now are this version with the full rerecorded score.

Adam Harris

Yes, when silent films were originally shown they'd often have a live orchestra playing, and the music would be different at every showing. There wasn't really a proper intended score for most silent films, so you would get a unique experience every time you saw the same movie.

Randy Aiken

Enjoyed your reaction Jen! But you should have put a couple of dots on your neck! 🧛

Matt

... 🤐

Ian

Love the shhhhhhh pose in the thumbnail Jen 😀 brilliant stuff . You know what would have been cool if you had asked morn from DS9 to do the reaction with you 🙂 seriously though looking forward to seeing this reaction a lot 🔥💙

Gary Cameron

Cute and creative idea, Jen! I wonder what those jerks who say "she talks too much" will say about this one! 😜

Cody Cameron

when u get your voice restored you could always do a video discussing your thoughts but do that only if you want

Geoff S.

No one will hold it against you if you like this more than Coppola’s. There were some questionable casting choices in that one. Jen, did you dress up for Halloween?

Patrick Turman

Jen, sure hope you enjoyed your first silent movie. I'm a classic movie buff but I can't say I'm a big fan of silent movies. I've seen a handful. The thing is they move at a snail's pace (because telling a story on film was so new, the filmmakers thought they had to spell everything out very meticulously in order for the audience to follow the story). But the best ones rank up there with true works of cinema. Because in film, you want to show the story, not tell it. And the great silent filmmakers were masters at that out of necessity.

Geoff S.

Now you should immediately watch the 2024 Nosferatu to have your mind blown.

Over50Gamer

Hope you're feeling better soon. Just watched it and you looked like you were coughing fiercely. This was different and wonderful, and i loved it; other than Metropolis, I've never watched a movie from this era before, so it was a good experience. ❤️‍🩹

Jacob Colson

I just remember watching this on VHS in class at school and the copy had Type O Negative music playing over it. lol, pretty cool.

Jacob Colson

The copy with music I remember watching in school was the one where the band Type O Negative did the score. lol, it was pretty great.

Jacob Colson

At least Jen didn't embarrass herself making any odd or suggestive gestures like Buffy did during the Hush episode. lol

Thomas Malley

this is low key the best post movie reaction ever. :2 "wows" and a 'who would have thought?' shrug, LOL. You should do more silent movie silent reactions!

Harvey Lee

That was a good one with John Malkovich chewing the scenery admirably and Willem Dafoe they're both awesome Can there be any actor more suited to play Nosferatu than Willem Dafoe ? ....I await a response lol !! Hope you had an awesome Halloween 🎃

DrJonasVenture

Since you’ve seen this and the Coppola Dracula, you should really check out the Nosferatu from 2024. It was excellent.
