I also watched it recently, and aside from its historical significance (which it certainly has) I found it super super super boring with almost nothing to entertain a modern audience.

But hey, that's just me.

The local art theater does a showing of it every year with live organ accompaniment and they rescore it every year and every year its straight fire. I don't know how you can get bored during the movie--its filled with tension! The organ music adds a lot, but even without it, its still great.

“Super super super boring”. Wonderful review. Very articulate. 5 stars.

It is, it’s a boring movie. The scenes with Orlock are spellbinding, but everything else is a slog. There just isn’t that much else to say about it.

That's fair, I love it but can see why a lot of people wouldn't. Happens with every movie, really. Metropolis is another movie from that era I could watch any day of the week, but my friends would fall asleep after 10 minutes.
