Title: The Best and Funniest Vampire played by Willem Dafoe!
Review: Shadow Of the Vampire is not a conventional horror/vampire movie, but it's certainly quite original and funny. I didn't find it to be scarry, but it's two great characters played by Willem Dafoe and John Malkovich are trully captivating. This is a low budget vampire movie compared to Dracula(Gary Oldman).John Malkovich played renowned film director F.W. Wurnau who wanted to make the ultimate and realistic vampire movie. He casts a myterious actor Max Schreck(played brilliantly Dafoe) to play the vampire. There is no character research or preparation for Max prior to filming, because he happens to be a real vampire! Things on the set gradually go from smooth to scarry when Max started to misbehave and disobey Wurnau....John Malkovich is very good as an eccentric perfectionist. Willem Dafoe's portrayal of the vampire is mesmerizing, and definitely one of his career best roles.
