Negative Positive
Title: RIP Peter Steele, Max Schreck, and David Carradine!
Review: One of the best vampire films, made all the more haunting due to its silent nature: F.W. Murnau was a true pioneer of his time. I have this DVD version with Type O Negative performing the soundtrack (as well as the video from their song "Black No.1") & David Carradine providing a pretty cool Introduction. While I have seen both the completely silent & soundtracked versions of the film, I prefer the latter. The music was selected well, though odd in certain places, and adds nostalgia and drama into the mostly visual performance. Given the silent nature of the film and the slower pace, this movie is not for everyone (especially those who like the "sexy charismatic vampire" ideal), but it is a great piece of vampire cinema history nonetheless and my personal preference. TON's music adds an additional layer of Creepy!RIP Peter Steele, Max Schreck, and David Carradine. Sadly missed. =(
