"Death is not the worst. There are things more horrible than death."

It's an unfortunate fact that remakes have been commissioned for decades. Back in 1979 Werner Herzog set out to remake the unauthorised 1922 Dracula adaptation Nosferatu, which was directed by F.W. Murnau. The original 1922 silent movie will forever remain an essentially flawless horror classic. When Herzog decided... read more

So far, it must be one of the best remakes I have ever seen. Of course, it might not have been as groundbreaking as the first version directed by F.W. Murnau but it was still a fascinating feature nonetheless. Indeed, I thought that the directing by Werner Herzorg was awesome and, in my opinion, it gave a totally different visual look on this story. On top of that, Klaus Kinski was a great substit... read more

Herzog make wonders with 'the trip of death', Kinski-vampyr goingo by dilligence, by river boat and by ship to the city of Delft (location).

“Werner Herzog was, and still is, a very talented film-maker, but he's not the only reason as to why to see 'Nosferatu the Vampyre'. That it is based on a classic story, had a larger than life, commanding and great actor in the title role in Klaus Kinski and that it was a re-make of the 1922 Murnau masterpiece 'Nosferatu' were further interest points.

Admittedly did question as to whether 'Nosferatu the Vampyre' would work, being a re-make. Re-makes hardly ever are equal to their originals and some don't even come close. There is no doubting which is better and more influential between Murnau's film and this, but 'Nosferatu the Vampyre' is a strong example of a re-make that works well, with the Murnau film being a very clear influence, and is a very good film on its own terms.

"25.1. Herzogin tapaan elokuva on jälleen visuaalisesti erittäin miellyttävä kaikkine luontokuvauksineen. Goottilaistyylinen miljöö ja ruttokuumottelut luovat tähän tietynlaista unenomaista synkkyyttä. Kinskiltä, Adjanilta ja Ganzilta myös hyvät roolisuoritukset. Tuttu Dracula-tarina tosin itsessään on omaan makuun hieman antiklimaattinen."
