Synopsis
A fictionalized account of the making of director F. W. Murnau's classic silent horror film "Nosferatu" (Germany/1922) and Murnau's obsession with lending the film authenticity. Without alerting the rest of his cast, director Murnau finds an actual vampire to take on the name of actor Max Schreck and play the king of the undead.
