  1. 3 Stars  Rated 3 out of 5
    Almost good

    I was prepared to enjoy this film, because the premise and range of actors is promising. Overall, I think it was a good idea that was not that well executed. What specifically turned me off was the preoccupation with the director, and production problems, and the whole filmmaking process. To me, it’’s in poor taste to constantly reference the industry while trying to make a damn movie. Nevertheless, there are some truly funny moments, and anyone that has seen or cared about Nosferatu will want to see this. Best of all is Werner Herzog’’s remake of the original, with Klaus Kinski playing the Count. Now that is some fine filmmaking.
  2. 5 Stars  Rated 5 out of 5!
    Classic!

    This is the second best vampire movie after the original Nosferatu. They are great to have together as a set.
  3. 5 Stars  Rated 5 out of 5!
    You mean he wasnt an actor?

    This film was a total joy, not in only in the cast of fine actors but the theme of the movie. Much like "Return of the living dead" was to "Night of the living dead", so is SOV to Nosferatu. A ficitonal dramatization to show the true story behind the, eehh, fiction!

    The settings gave me the same creeps as the original and what I liked doing was playing a couple of scenes from the silent feature and then continuing with SOV to compare the details.

    All in All great fun and at times disturbing, if you liked the original Nosferatu. Well done Mr Cage, thank you for this film
