Comments: This is hilarious, spooky, weird, and beautifully shot on beautiful locations on beautiful sets. Peak Malkovich. Peak Dafoe

Movies about making a movie have become a favorite of mine. How did this film escape me for so long?

Thanks MrJago!

Added to my list Movies about making a movie

Summary: Shadow of the Vampire is a film about the making of a German all time classic silent horror-movie from 1922 called Nosferatu-Eine Symphonie des Grauens (Nosferatu-a Symphony of Horror). The production of Nosferatu had to deal with a lot of strange things (some crew members disappeared, some died). This movie focuses on the difficult relationship between Murnau, the director, and Schreck, the lead actor.
