A tribute to – but decidedly not a remake of – F.W. Murnau's classic vampire film Nosferatu 1922, Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre is a rich and haunting addition to the horror film genre. In reimagining the story, Herzog places greater emphasis on the eroticism and tragedy of the vampire figure. Where the Count of Murnau's film is hideous and inhuman, this rendition (embodied brilliantly by Klaus Kinski) is filled with the suffering of a figure who is tormented by his cruel desires and his yearning for humanity.
