Review of Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) by Conner R — 09 Mar 2010
Not only does this completely surpass the original Nosferatu, it surpasses every other Dracula film ever made. Werner Herzog's dark vision of this classic story is perfect in every way. The lighting is glossy, bizarre and unique.
The shots are composed in a way that is frightening to the viewer, but beautiful none the less. The acting is wonderful, Klaus Kinski is too perfect for the the Count. He physically and mentally embodies the character in a way that no actor ever could.
Isabelle Adjani is also great as Lucy, I could honestly not think of someone who fits better than her either. This is Bram Stoker's Dracula the way it was meant to be seen, both accurate in content and tone.
