F. W. Murnau’s famous vampire film
Nosferatu (1922) experiences a few problems during filming, and the crew begin to suspect that the guy with the teeth, Max Schreck, may in fact be the real deal. There are some wonderful parallels with the original film, and using modern film techniques to play around on a 1920’s film set is great fun for a while, but the script flounders once the initial novelty wears off. The ending saves the day and may well leave you thinking the rest of it was better than it actually was. Willem Dafoe gives a first-class performance, despite being almost unrecognisable under all the make-up.
