A remake of the original 1922 classic, Nosferatu the Vampyre centers on Count Dracula (Klaus Kinski) as the legendary vampire arrives in Wismar and begins terrorizing the local community.

As is well known, Dracula becomes enchanted by Lucy Harker (Oscar nominee Isabelle Adjani) and sets out to make the woman his unwilling wife.

One of the best takes on the famous source material, Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu the Vampyre succeeds due to his powerful direction and terrific performances from the cast.

Klaus Kinski in particular offers one of the greatest performances of Dracula.
