About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a landmark silent vampire story with unsettling imagery and a truly infamous presence; Not for you if you expect fast pacing or heavy gore, and if you prefer more modern Dracula-style thrills like Vampyr or Dracula.
Pros: legendary horror classic; eerie shadowy visuals; memorably menacing lead | Cons: intertitles hard to read; can feel slow at first; not very gory
