Nosferatu in Venice [1988]

AKA: Vampire in Venice

  • DVD
  • PRINCIPAL CAST: Klaus Kinski, Barbara De Rossi, Yorgo Voyagis, Elvire Audray
  • DIRECTOR: Augusto Caminito
  • SYNOPSIS:
  • IN A LIFE THAT NEVER ENDS, TIME DOES NOT MATTER
  • What was intended to be an unofficial sequel to Werner Herzog’s NOSFERATU instead became one of the most notoriously fascinating productions in EuroCult history: Klaus Kinski – ”now fully in the grip of the ‘bats**t crazy’ phase of his career” (Rock! Shock! Pop!) – gives his penultimate performance as the legendary vampire resurrected in modern-day Venice with an insatiable hunger for warm blood and rough sex. Donald Pleasence and Academy Award® winner Christopher Plummer co-star in this sumptuously insane shocker that features music by Oscar® winner Vangelis (CHARIOTS OF FIRE), employed five different directors – including Mario Caiano (NIGHTMARE CASTLE), Luigi Cozzi (PAGANINI HORROR), writer/producer Augusto Caminito and reportedly Kinski himself – and still delivers ”one eye-popping scene after another” (Cinema Retro), now scanned in 2k from the original negative.
