Shadow of the Vampire 2000

An unspeakable horror. A creative genius. Captured for eternity.

IMDb Rotten Tomatoes Wikipedia

Synopsis

Director F.W. Murnau makes a Faustian pact with a vampire to get him to star in his 1922 film "Nosferatu."

Notable Critics

""Shadow of the Vampire" is a gory and grandiose metaphor for the torments and sacrifices made, extracted, and endured in the name of art."

— Richard Brody

"Wholly absorbing and inspired in parts, this carefully crafted curio dares to suggest that Murnau made a Faustian pact with an actual vampire to play the title role in exchange for the neck of the film's leading lady at production's end."

— Todd McCarthy
