Film choice

Nosferatu the Vampyre (Werner Herzog, 1979), 12.40am, Talking Pictures TV

Though overshadowed by Robert Eggers’ 2024 film, Herzog’s 1979 homage to FW Murnau’s 1922 silent classic remains one of the most haunting vampire films ever made. Klaus Kinski delivers a portrayal of the undead count imbued with unusual pathos, while Isabelle Adjani plays the victim torn between revulsion and desire. The film’s striking imagery includes scenes featuring 11,000 live rats and mummified corpses from an 1833 cholera epidemic.
