About this product

Product Information

E. Elias Mehrige's SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE explores the fictional premise that the star of director F.W. Murnau's 1922 German expressionist horror film, NOSFERATU, was an actual vampire. When the dictatorial Murnau (John Malkovich) sets about filming his monster masterpiece, he makes a Faustian deal and enlists the grotesque, reclusive Max Schreck (Willem Dafoe) to play the rodentlike Count Orlok. Schreck proceeds to both horrify and fascinate the unwitting cast and crew---including producer Albin Grau (Udo Kier), actor Gustav von Wangenheim (Eddie Izzard), and actress Greta Schroeder (Catherine McCormack)--who, at first, believe Schreck is merely an eccentric actor. As the production continues, however, mysterious accidents and deaths begin to reveal why Schreck never gets any makeup.From its lavish opening sequence to Murnau's filming of the final scene, Mehrige's movie serves as a tribute not only to the original NOSFERATU but to the art of cinema itself. Because Murnau's project is a silent film, the overbearing director can coax and shout at his actors during the takes, making for some cleverly comical scenes. Although Malkovich, Izzard, and Kier are excellent in their roles, SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE could simply not exist without Dafoe's hideous and hilarious performance, which ranks among the finest of the versatile actor's career.

    Not your tween pretty boy vamp.

    I happened upon the title of this film by chance one day while reading reviews on other vampire movies. With the recent vampire "craze" in Hollywood turning the undead into whiny beauty queens, I'd been turned off from the genre as a whole. Luckily I gave this one a chance and it did not disappoint. Malkovich was brilliant as Murnau and the vampire Count Orlok helped redeem bloodsuckers from their more recent portrayals. I would highly recommend this film to any hardcore, old school vamp lovers or those just looking for a well written film with solid acting. Don't lose faith just yet. There are still a few ugly, bald headed, sickly looking vampires on the silver screen.

  • Great film!

    I have always loved this film. Malkovitch and Dafoe giving stellar performances in the lead roles. Eddie Eizzard and Udo Kier are phenomenal in their roles.

  • Willem DeFoe is amazing

    Great storyline. Very entertaining. It’s said that DeFoe really got into this role. He’s hilarious and spooky, plus he looks identical to the original Max Schrek.

  • Shadow of the Vampire dvd

    I've always enjoyed this movie. Really good cast. Willem Defoe, John Malkovich,Eddie Izzard and Cary Elwes. It's a film/documentary like of the 1920's film Nosferatu. Definitely worth watching and owning.

  • A unique concept makes this film special!

    German director F.W. Murnau is famous for his silent film classic Nosferatu (an early version of Dracula) with an indelible performance by Max Shreck as the count that is still memorable today. The obsessive Murnau (excellently portrayed by John Malkevich) would do anything to get what he wanted on film. The unique twist here - What if Max Shreck was a real vampire? Willem Dafoe disappears under his makeup and brilliantly becomes the vampiric Shreck. A very entertaining film with great recreation of silent film era effects. Don't worry, this is NOT Twilight! Worth owning if you are a fan of the horror genre!
