A deliciously horrific trip!
15 September 2001
It would be very easy to rave about the acting in this movie, particularly of Willem Dafoe and John Malkovitch, because they are so 100% dead-on perfect in their roles. I can only rave on and on about the cinematography, makeup, lighting, directing, editing, etc etc...this film simply radiates perfection. Shadow of a Vampire is strangely funny, and yet terrifying at the same time, with one of those endings which left me silent until I had to take a breath. Finally.

If you have a DVD player, rent that version. The making of the film is fascinating; some of the writing was done by the actors.

Brilliant, bravo, etc etc. Not conventional, but who needs conventional?
