Somewhere in Eastern Europe, 1922… Filming of F.W. Murnau’s classic vampire movie, Nosferatu, is being disrupted not only by funding problems, but by rumours of disappearances amongst the cast and crew. Leading man Max Shreck (Willem Dafoe) is never introduced to the crew, and he is never seen out of character. Hapless actor Gustav (Eddie Izzard) thinks his sinister co-star is the ultimate method actor. In fact, director Murnau (John Malkovich) has sealed a pact with Shreck offering him the neck of his leading lady (Catherine McCormack) at the end of the shoot if he delivers the ultimate performance for the camera. Stranded on an island, the crew must finish the film before Shreck’s bloodlust becomes uncontrollable. Nominated for two Oscars - Best Make Up Effects, and Willem Dafoe for Best Supporting Actor - Shadow of the Vampire charts the horrifying lengths to which one of cinema’s outstanding directors went to put the most chilling interpretation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula on film.
