“An earnest homage that also bears unmistakable traces of cinematic one-upmanship.”
—Slant Magazine
“A pinnacle of horror cinema: atmospheric, rhapsodic, and achingly transcendent.”
—Time Out
“Herzog maps a supernatural being who represents the contradictions of humanity’s fragility and durability in the face of our own mortality.”
—Little White Lies
This remarkably faithful remake of Murnau’s pioneering silent horror film stars Klaus Kinski as the rat-faced Prince of Darkness who brings his pestilence to Britain from far-off Transylvania. With Bruno Ganz as Jonathan Harker and Isabelle Adjani as Lucy Harker. Herzog achieves a cold distance that makes the vampire’s evil almost palpable. A perfectly nightmarish Halloween treat.
