This film is... different. The directors took a bunch of clips from several well-known silent films (Nosferatu, Dr. Caligari, The Golem, Phantom of the Opera, etc.) and re-edited them into a single narrative. It has a Monty Python-esquire vibe running throughout; the story is at times a little hard to follow, and there are numerous asides that tie into the overall story. There are LOTS of jokes and sight gags, almost too many to take in in a single viewing. This film isn't for kids, as there is a fair amount of questionable content (hooray for questionable content!). I laughed out loud many times, and Nosferatu's remake into a Christopher Walken sound-alike is definitely the high point of the film. This film won't be for everyone, but if you're into the "Kentucky Fried Movie" school of cinema, you should pick this one up.
