NOSFERATU IN VENICE

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 'batsh*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.
