Herzog reimagines Nosferatu as plague and passion follow Dracula from Transylvania to Wismar. Only love can end the horror.
Werner Herzog’s haunting reworking of the vampire myth follows Count Dracula as he journeys from Transylvania to the town of Wismar, bringing with him not only terror but the Black Plague. As death spreads and civilisation crumbles, salvation rests with a woman willing to confront the darkness. Lyrical, eerie and deeply melancholic, Nosferatu is horror as tragic poetry.
Rialto Recommends:
A gothic masterpiece steeped in dread and beauty. Herzog transforms the vampire legend into a meditation on loneliness, desire and inevitable decay cinema that lingers long after night falls.
