Remake of the 1922 German silent expressionist film classic "Nosferatu the Vampyre", loosely based on the novel Dracula (1897) by Irish writer Bram Stoker.

For me, who saw the 1979 cult movie "Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht", the comparison with this new version is inevitable, which did not excite me.

The aforementioned was certainly much simpler and poorer in its sober and perhaps even a little squalid staging and focused a lot on the perverse and disturbing charm of the protagonists, the beautiful Isabelle Adjani and the damned Klaus Kinski.

Here, however, the exact opposite happens, the film is nominated for an Oscar for best photography which in fact immediately strikes the viewer for its intensity, the night scenes outside are fascinating and then the castle, the woods... we find ourselves immersed in rarefied and gothic atmospheres and this is the strong point of the film, but the characters instead are not very attractive, even if the interpreters are good. The vampire monster is here put in the background almost to deny the title of the film which instead sees him as the protagonist and the possessed girl wriggles a bit too much all the time in repetitive scenes of convulsions in perfect "Exorcist" style also resulting very unattractive.
It will only be liked by those who have never seen the other versions.
