Review of Shadow of the Vampire (2000) by Joseph F — 26 Oct 2009
A brilliant movie with John Malkovich trying to direct the film Nosferatu but having to overcome many difficulties during its filming. One of his main ones is the fact that his leading man does not like the sunlight and will not mix with the other cast and crew.
It doesn't help that one of the crew goes mad and that the director has promised the leading lady to his vampire at the end of the movie without her knowledge. Willem Dafoe is brilliant as the Count and Malkovich brings his malevolent humour to the proceedings.
I want to watch the original movie after seeing this as I'm sure I'll view it differently.
