Its not like the best movie ever but it certain was better than traffic and probably Gladiator. NO, No this movie is not for everybody, you have to be a certain kind of person who kind of likes comedy and horror. The best comedy horror ever is of course evil dead II but this is close to it and in some ways better because they are working with just maybe a true story. It is not a very serious movie but can be frightening at times. Its not aimed at the usual audience so its more complex not simplistic. I think Willem Dafoe should have won becaus his movie was more dialogue and he had to do the makeup and be a lot out of character. Benicio Del Toro probably already knew spanish so what if he learned some. They don’t understand what he is saying how do they know how he is acting. As for John Malkovich he was great as usual and his best role since Dangerous Liasons. He was ecstatic as the great director Murnau and he makes him so obsessive. This is definately worth buying and the special features are better than most. I always love the commentary. They really did a god job making a plot of the rumor that Shrek was actually a vampire nd thats why he played Orlock so well and just maybe they are right. I love how they make the germens drugges and how they just let people die. They did a brilliant job showing how to film nosferatu in the 20’s and I thought it was intersting. Now I think Dafoe is a vampire for his performance. Don’t miss this one folks.
