Shadow of the Vampire - RC 1
The vampire of myth and legend is a person whose life was wicked, depraved and who, after death, lives on to prey upon others by sucking their blood, so sustaining his or her unnatural existence through this liquid of life. Over the years, this core image of the iconic vampire has continually been committed to film in various thematic incarnations, cinematically resurrected as a basis for everything from overt, mindless celluloid actioners to somber, intellectual ruminations on life and mortality, acting as a metaphor for afflictions ranging from drug addiction to urban alienation (see my review of Habit).
Today—nearly 80 years and countless vampire films later—the original Nosferatu (the first film adaptation of Bram Stokers Dracula novel) still holds a singularly haunting and majestic power over its audience. F.W. Murnaus 1922 silent horror classic, with its typically Germanic use of stylized shadows and sly symbolism, invokes an eerie enchantment that is apparent in virtually every frame. The wonderful, unspoken spectacle of mysterious actor Max Schrecks vampiric Count Orlok does not soon fade from memory mental snapshots of his repellent, sallow, pointy-eared, rat-faced visage emerging from the bleak darkness linger eternally in the collective subconscious.
With genuine, loving reverence for this classic source material, the creative team behind Shadow of the Vampire have fashioned a unique, darkly comic take on the making of Nosferatu, a fictional what-if scenario full of wit and cerebral imagination, and perhaps even a scintilla of truth. What if the pseudonymous Max Schreck (surely not a real name, as it roughly translates into Max Terror or Max Horror) was in fact a genuine bloodsucker, a bona fide vampire knowingly employed by Murnau to elevate his terrifying, visionary parable into the ultimate horror film for the ages?
