NOSFERATU IN VENICE

“The carnival trappings, antiquated villas, and bombastic orchestral / synthesizer music make for a memorably strange experience.” -- Nathaniel Thompson, MONDO DIGITAL

Originally intended as an unofficial sequel to Herzog’s NOSFERATU, this notorious late-period entry in Klaus Kinski’s buckshot filmography finds the actor fully entrenched in “batshit-crazy” mode. Kinski is the legendary vampire, resurrected in modern-day Venice with an insatiable hunger for warm blood and rough sex. Donald Pleasence and Oscar-winner Christopher Plummer co-star in this sumptuously insane shocker featuring music by Vangelis (BLADE RUNNER) and the fingerprints of five different directors, including Mario Caiano (NIGHTMARE CASTLE), Luigi Cozzi (PAGANINI HORROR), and reportedly Kinski himself.
