“An unspeakable horror. A creative genius. Captured for eternity.”

DramaHorror

Director F.W. Murnau makes a Faustian pact with a vampire to get him to star in his 1922 film "Nosferatu."

VIBE

A chillingly meta exploration of artistic obsession. It feels like a fever dream where the lines between filmmaking and vampirism blur into something deeply unsettling and darkly funny.
