E. Elias Mehrige's Shadow Of The Vampire explores the fictional premise that the star of the famous 1922 German expressionist horror film Nosferatu was an actual vampire. When director F.W. 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 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 mysterious accidents and deaths begin to reveal why Schreck never gets any makeup. [show more]

(Daily News), and John Malkovich is "intense and powerful" (WNBC-TV) in this critically-acclaimed suspense thriller about a filmmaker who's so consumed with creating an authentic vampire movie that he's willing to sacrifice everything - including his cast and crew! And when the director's obsession collides with his mysterious star's thirsty compulsion, the result is a "hypnotic, mesmerizing, shockingly funny spellbinder!" (Rolling Stone).
Genius film director F.W. Murnau (John Malkovich) is determined to complete the photography on his latest production, the soon-to-be classic vampire movie 'Nosferatu', but the erratic behaviour of leading man Max Shreck (Willem Dafoe) keeps causing problems. Shreck's commitment to the role of the vampire is such that he is never out of character, and this is causing worries among the cast and crew. Murnau has offered Shreck the neck of the leading lady (Catherine McCormack) if he delivers one of the best performances ever, but Shreck's bloodlust is such that he might not be able to wait until the shoot is over.
