Nosferatu the Vampyre
(1979)
Directed by Werner
Herzog this film based on the novel “Dracula” stars Klaus Kinski,
Isabelle Adjani and Bruno Ganz. A man travels to a castle in
Transylvania to help a reclusive count by a house in Germany.
While this is an
adaptation of Dracula this film draws heavily on F. W. Muranu's film
Nosferatu (1922). There are some changes to the second half of the
story and they bring an interesting twist to a story that has been
adapted countless times before. I really enjoyed the moody direction
and the way that the character of Lucy Harker takes control towards
the end.
4/5
