A very good movie

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 substitute for Max Schreck. You might find it surprising but even though it might not be one of the most famous vampire flicks ever made, I believe it is actually one of the very best. Basically, they managed to create a great mood, reminiscent of the first version but still with its own style and flavor. Obviously, since it is rather slow, it is probably not for the impatient viewer and you shouldn't expect some spectacular stuff like you have in Francis Ford Coppola's version but it didn't bother me, in the contrary. To conclude, I think it is an amazing and underrated vampire flick, actually one of the best out there, and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Werner Herzog's work.
