Review

Film group is creating a movie Nosferatu, a movie about a vampire Dracula but what had not got rights for the Dracula's name so therefore it will be called Nosferatu instead. Actor of the vampire have something strange and the film crew does not feel comfortable around him. Later they will find out that he is not a human at all but a real vampire.

I had seen this movie previously some years ago and that was ok film back then, but now when I watched this again it was much better. It tells something that even before I started watching this movie I still remembered the ending scene so it had made deeper impression to me even on the first watch but I had not just understood it back then.

The atmosphere of this movie was great. The movie is slow paced but it is not boring at any point. Dafoe and Malkovich both have great acting and they bring their characters alive.

This is an excellent vampire movie and it should be seen by every vampire movie lovers.
