Shadow of the Vampire

In his quest to create a vampire film to die for, F.W. Murnau hires the mysterious Max Schreck to play Count Orlock in his masterpiece Nosferatu. Murnau introduces Schreck as the "ultimate method actor" - one who will appear only in character, in make up, at night. But as the cast and crew begin to disappear, it appears that Murnau has made a devil's bargain with Schreck, whose dead-on performance is, perhaps, too authentic. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
