Nosferatu is quite good, but I prefer it with an analog synth soundtrack. The original soundtrack is very generic and not particularly dramatic, actually, I would say pretty low quality and boring.
I can't find my favorite right now, but IMO several analog synth soundtracks and one I found with organs are good soundtracks for Nosferatu (all easy to find on YouTube). They create an ethereal atmosphere that fits the movie well.
- hereforphone 5y agoDo you find the original video low quality as well? Would you like the video to be updated to be more modern?
- ahartmetz 5y agoThere are, in fact, digitally restored versions that look better than unrestored versions ;) Nosferatu is not so old that it's some kind of sacred artifact to me. It's a movie, it's meant to be enjoyed first. And the original music really does nothing for me. It isn't about technical quality either. There are high quality versions that don't "work" any better for me.
- Finnucane 5y agoAbout 20 yrs ago I saw a screening of Nosferatu with the Alloy Orchestra playing live in front. That was pretty cool. I’ve seen their Metropolis a couple of times as well.
