Title: A move made in Hollywood for people in Hollywood
Review: I've long be a fan of the orignal Noseratu. I thought this might be a fun movie to watch. I've not seen Herzog's remake, but I might after this.This movie was more about egos and film making than it was about Vampires. Dafoe's character is downright comic. Let me take that back, he's ATTEMPTING to be comic. He's not funny. The sad part is he isn't even scary. Malkovich is unconvincing as Murnau playing the stereotypical egomanic director. The fake accents and bad "recreations" of scenes from original silent film really put me off.If I worked in the film industry, I might have enjoyed this film. As it was, I felt like it was a series of "inside jokes" and I was not an insider.I suppose I need to attend film school or something to appreciate this film. As it stands it comes off as a self-indulgent piece of dreck made for film snobs. It fails as comedy and fails as a horror film.I really was expecting better.
