As a society we should be working together to prevent the circumstances that could create a man such as Klaus Kinski. But I'm no pie in the sky idealist. I've seen who you idiots vote for. I know we're not gonna do that any time soon. So in the meantime I concede that our next best option as a global community is to dress these men up in bald caps and finger extensions and let them play Draculas. I hope Eggers casts a real life serial killer in his version. Sure people will whine, but these people are going to whine no matter what, just like how serial killers are going to serial kill. It's just nature, like the plague rats in this movie. You can even execute the serial killer right after shooting wraps. "That's a wrap on Mitchell Patrick Cameron, everybody!"
Sorry if that's a real guy's name.
"Do you think we've all gone mad, and that one morning we'll all wake up and find ourselves in straight-jackets?"
Yes.
You have to give it to Herzog, he definitely made the Dracula movie with the most rats
The strangest thing about Werner Herzog's Nosferatu is that I consider it a perfect remake of the original Nosferatu as well as easily the best vampire movie I've ever seen, but despite all that it still somehow doesn't live up to the promise made by the absolutely incredible opening credits. The movie begins with footage of real life mummies and incredibly creepy orchestral music. It brings into focus the ideas of death, the afterlife, eternity, and the undead, all of which will form one of the many thematic kernels of the forthcoming narrative. It gave me chills. The music is brought back later and overall I absolutely loved the movie, but there's something truly haunting about this opening which is…
Breathtaking cinematography capturing the wretched, tortured soulless creature Dracula (Klaus Kinski) in full blown melancholy due to loneliness and wish to escape his immortal imprisonment!
Somewhere there’s a version of this where Lucy and Nosferatu are in every single scene and it’s the greatest movie of all time. And they end up together too.
Can’t wait to flood my social media feeds with reels of Isabelle Adjani and Klaus Kinski set to goth music
Amazing how much more sensitive I get to certain things as I get older. When I saw this at age 13, I didn't have any reaction at all to the images of mummified corpses in the opening credits. Now? They really creep me out! This whole movie is insanely spooky. It just makes you sit in these images of rot and abjection. There are some funny moments, but no camp. It takes vampires seriously, and wants us forget we've seen Bela Lugosi or Christopher Lee or their many imitators.
This was my first Werner Herzog movie, and I rented it assuming it would be an ordinary horror movie. I didn't know who Herzog or Klaus Kinski were at the time.…
How do you become Werner Herzog?
There are many ways, and Herzog, being the actual man himself, obviously has done them all, but one of those ways is to set out to remake one of the greatest films of all time some fifty-seven years after the original dropped and then you fucking nail it.
Another way is to release 11,000 rats all at once and make sure the camera is rolling (actually I think he only got 5,000 rats released because Herzog is a narcissistic asshole who was commonly cruel to animals for his art during this period of his career, and he managed to accidentally kill more than half of his stock through mis-care before he even got the…
An excellent movie! Directed by Werner Herzog and staring the legendary Klaus Kinski as Count Dracula and featuring the famed actress Isabella Adjani as Lucy! The movie starts out the typical way most tales of Count Dracula are told. Then becomes a very symbolic artistic interpretation which I won’t spoil the ending but ends like no other tailing. It is a must see! Check it out!
