I just got done watching Shadow of the Vampire. This was so entertaining, mostly because of Willem Dafoe's performance. Seriously good.
John Malkovich plays F.W. Murnau in this indie film. He is making Nosferatu, and he has hired Max Schreck (Willem Dafoe), super weirdo, to play Count Orlock. Strange things begin to happen, as the actors start to realize that Schreck is not quite human. Dafoe plays Nosferatu so perfectly, that one may wonder if he is Count Orlock reincarnated. As an added bonus, there are small clips of actual footage from the original silent masterpiece.
Highly recommended for Nosferatu lovers.
And Willem Dafoe just gained another fan. I was impressed. I'm going to venture that I think they could remake the full Nosferatu movie with Willem Dafoe and no one would know the difference between the two.
Rating 8/10
