A film that has a lot in commom with our film?

A film that is very in common to our film is Nosferatu (1922). This is the first Dracula film. Nosferatu is also like a prototype for Dracula movies to come. It had big influences on how some horrors are made due to the dark elemets which incorporate it fully.




It is about an Estate agent clerk in the city of Bremen leaves his bride to conduct business in the distant Carpathian mountains with an eccentric clinet named Graf Orlok.





During a long and hazardous journey, the closer he gets to his destination, the more terrified are the people he meets. What he finds when he reached Orlok's sinister castle is enough to make the skin of the most devoted horror fan crawl.
The main similarities of our film with nosferatu is mainly, the overall look and color of the film, and the use of our vilian hiding behind a shadow. Nosferatu was the leader in horror film at that time, and they type of suspense and fright that it created is still relevant today, as we have portrayed in our main task. Our was in a dark, almost black and white tint, similar to nosferatu. A key element of nosferatu was its using of representation and expressionistic lighting. We tried to link this by using the gothic type arch that is shown frequently in our film.
