If Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu sent shivers down your spine, just wait until you experience Werner Herzog’s take. This 1979 reimagining of the silent horror masterpiece is hauntingly lyrical, hypnotic, and unsettling. As Count Dracula, Klaus Kinski delivers a performance that is both monstrous and tragic, embodying a creature condemned to eternal suffering. In contrast to the grotesque, rat-like Orlok of the original, Kinski’s vampire exudes melancholy, burdened by a fate he never chose.
