CGiii Comment

To get the most out of this: watch Murnau's expressionist masterpiece, Nosferatu, first.

The production values are top-notch.

The subject and execution definitely make for some interesting viewing.

The(ir) Blurb...

Shadow of the Vampire is a film about the making of a German all time classic silent horror-movie from 1922 called Nosferatu-Eine Symphonie des Grauens (Nosferatu-a Symphony of Horror). The production of Nosferatu had to deal with a lot of strange things (some crew members disappeared, some died). This movie focuses on the difficult relationship between Murnau, the director, and Schreck, the lead actor.
