The movie stars Max Schreck, Gustav von Wangenheim, Greta Schroder, Alexander Granach, Georg H. Schnell.
The plot follows Bram Stokers Dracula pretty faithfully. The names are diffrent but the plot follows pretty closly.
The music seems pretty much out of step with the movie. Most of the scratchy film quality is understandable for the age of the film. Some scenes were blue. I dont know if this was meant to imply night or just part of the age of the film stock they had.
I think the biggest problem for this movie is this is a complex idea to try and get across in a silent film. The General was a much more basic and easy to understand silent film. There are just too many complex ideas to get across without dialog for me.
Im rating this movie as a C- or D. I think its considered a classic but for me it just did not get any where near the point to consider it a classic.
