Even more than 80 years later, this still holds up as a fine movie. Of course even if it completely sucked it would still be worth a look thanks to the key role it played in the early development of horror cinema. But in addition to being a historical curiosity, it’s also an entertaining picture. To be sure, 21st century audiences will have to have a little patience. It’s silent. It has some dull passages. And it’s more than a little rough around the edges. But it also sports some delightfully spooky scenes. If nothing else, “Max Schreck” is the most vampire-y screen vampire I’ve ever seen. Worth seeing
