Vampire in Venice


Vampire in Venice Nosferatu a Venezia, also known as Nosferatu in Venice, is an Italian horror film released in 1988 and directed by Augusto Caminito, starring Klaus Kinski, Christopher Plummer and Donald Pleasence.

Directorproducer Caminito had intended to produce a legitimate sequel to Werner Herzogs Nosferatu the Vampyre, with Kinski reprising his role. However the actor refused to shave his head and don his makeup again. In this film, Kinski sports long blond hair. The vampire character here is simply called Nosferatu and not Dracula. Nosferatu is an almighty and indestructible lord of the undead who wishes his immortal life to end but can only die if a virgin woman grants him her love. Christopher Plummer plays Paris Catalano, an ineffective vampire hunter.The film had a troubled history, with several directors being fired and leaving the project, while Kinskis behavior on set caused many delays in shooting. Producer Caminito decided to direct the film himself when director Mario Caiano resigned after being insulted on the set by Kinski. Kinski claimed in his autobiography, All I Need Is Love, that he ended up directing himself in certain scenes. ........
