What critics compared Shadow of the Vampire to
Tomando como pretexto a tres antiguos vampiros que intentan sobrevivir a la vida moderna en Nueva Zelanda, los realizadores reflexionan sobre el verdadero peso del personaje en la cultura popular, inspirándose en trabajos como Drácula: muerto pero feliz (Dracula: Dead and Loving It, Mel Brooks, 1995) o La sombra del vampiro (Shadow of the Vampire, E. Elias Merhige, 2000).
Shadow of the Vampire…
…in 2000, Willem Dafoe portrayed the first Nosferatu actor, Max Schreck, in the horror film Shadow of the Vampire…
In the 2000 movie “Shadow of the Vampire” (a fictionalized depiction of the making of the 1922 silent “Nosferatu”), John Malkovich plays Germany’s F.W. Murnau, obsessed with “authentic” horror.
…or knowing Willem Dafoe played Count Orlok in Shadow of the Vampire…
…or even “Shadow of the Vampire” (2000)…
Schrek’s performance is so inhuman that Eggers’s Van Helsing (Willem Dafoe, perfect, no notes) played the actor as an actual bloodsucker in Shadow of the Vampire.
…which has appeared in films like “Shadow of the Vampire” (2000), “Let the Right One In” (2008) and “Daybreakers” (2009)…
As John Malkovich, playing director F.W. Murnau in Shadow of the Vampire, explained, "We are scientists engaged in the creation of memory, but our memory will neither blur nor fade."
