Nosferatu in Venice
Directed by Augusto Caminito, Klaus Kinski, Maurizio Lucidi, Luigi Cozzi, Mario Caiano
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 gives his penultimate performance as the legendary vampire resurrected in modern-day Venice with an insatiable hunger for warm blood and rough sex.

I've yet to see Herzog's version, but this wasn't terrible. Christopher Plummer and Donald Pleasance are always fun, there is some amazing imagery, a compelling soundtrack and, well, Venice is kinda cool. My main problem is Kinski himself. Not sure what make up and wardrobe were thinking, but every time he's on screen, I die laughing. With all that bad make up on his already beat face, bleach blonde mullet wig, and pathetic, barely-there teefus, he looks like some ol' gal five days into a crank binge lol.
Compared to the previous Werner Herzog adaptation, this is a pile of dog shit.
Wouldn't call it outstanding but it was good enough for me it seems to move very quickly and jam everything into the story fast. Nice setting and scenery with a weird story but it has some great moments and some not so great moments. worth watching if you've seen everything else on here .
Absolutely fantastic cinematography, set design, and costumes-but otherwise it was just okay.
I love Vampire movies but this one could be better if the vampire spoke during the movie but he doesn’t speak till the end.
