This is a thrilling mystery and a chilling psycho-drama of lust . This Italian film is a sort of sequel to Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre 1979 though very inferior to excellent film directed by Herzog that at the same time was a modern remake to 1922 silent classic Nosferatu by W. R. Murnau . This Nosferatu a Venize 1988 is a captivating and strange experience with scary images , imaginative sets and gorgeous photography from a very foggy Venice . It is a really atmospheric film with scary and creepy frames , though extremely disjointed, including a lot of flaws , failures and gaps . It features the great klaus Kisnki as the rodent-like Dracula/Nosferatu , though without make-up, only protruding teeth, as he puts his usual grim faces , gestures and rare gesticulation . When Kinski played this Nosferatu he was at his best period , having played for Werner Herzog important films as Firzcarraldo, Woyzeck , Cobra Verde , Aguirre Wrath of God . Co-stars Christopher Plummer as the astute professor who visits Venice to investigatigate the last known appearance of the vampire and he attempts to put a final to his life once and for all . Kinski and Plummer are well accompanied by a good cast as Barbara De Rossi, Yorgo Voyagis , Mickey Knox , brief appearance by Donald Pleasence and beautiful Elvire Audray who some years later committed suicide .
It packs glamorous and brilliant cinematography by Tonino Nardi, filmed , of course , on location in Venice , Veneto, Italy . As well as senstive and mysterious musical score by Luigi Ceccarelli and the great Vangelis in his ordinary style . The motion picture was regularly directed , it seem to be the shooting was an extreme chaos allegedly due to continuous interruptions, and requirements of a demanding Kinski , and with various directors as Mario Caiano , Maurizio Lucidi , Luigi Cozzi , even Klaus Kinski filmed some scenes , and eventually producer Augusto Caminito completed. Rating : 5.5/10 .Average but acceptable and passable .
