Strange but true(?) movie about the making of the classic Nosturfura vampire movie. Malkovich, the director, has his movie set to go but nobody seems to know anything about the mysterious actor that will be playing the vampire. When Max Schreck (DeFoe) is introduced, he sends a shock through the set. Is he REALLY a vampire? You'll have to rent it to find out. This movie works on two levels. First, you get to see how they made silent films back in the day. Second, you get to watch a creepy movie. If you dig your teeth into this one (ha ha), it is scarier than most gore fest movies out there today. It works because it has suspense, sly humour, and is thick with atmosphere. Being set in an old European castle helps here. This movie is for fans who like classic suspense genre rather than 'scary' slasher flicks.
