      Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Nosferatu in Venice is an unholy mess. It's also oddly watchable, if only to see fine actors trapped in impossible situations. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      DanTheMan 2 I have very fond memories of Hertzog's Nosferatu from last year's Spooky Season, a film that I have now come to prefer over the silent original. Unfortunately, Nosferatu in Venice is an unholy mess, it's a monumental muddle with flashes of brilliance, but it's rendered bereft of any coherency. Despite the script's ambitions, the dialogue is often poor if not ridiculous but often benefits from the delivery and halfway decent performances from Christopher Plummer and Donald Pleasance. Other areas of notability include the brisk pace of the film, Augusto Caminito's direction and Tonino Nardi's cinematography which captures the canals and Gothic architecture to great effect and a passable score from Luigi Ceccarelli, although the use of Vangelis' mask is what really stands out. As for Kinski, he completely sinks the film, certifying that he is indeed genuine scum. Just some of his antics in this film include: causing multiple directors to quit, refusing to wear his makeup or the fangs and sexually assaulting multiple people, footage of which is included in the film... Jesus Christ. Nosferatu in Venice is anything if not ambitious. Confusing and scattershot, with some awkwardly constructed scenes and goofy editing choices, though the atmosphere of Gothic dread certainly helps somewhat leaving it as an oddly poetic, if completely nonsensical, take on vampirism. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review andy f A sprawling hugely atmospheric kind of sequel to "Nosferatu". No Herzog, but an Italian team deliver a stunningly spooky Venice - it's beautiful to watch. Kinski in one of his last movies struts and snarls with aplomb (the fraught atmosphere on set probably helped) and Christopher Plummer and Donald Pleasance add gravitas. No masterpiece, but it is hugely underrated. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A mess in how it flagrantly disregards established vampire lore and the proceedings of the first film and how it introduces characters and concepts only to just as quickly drop them. I understand this all stems from Kinski losing his shit and accosting cast and crew, but somehow (because of the aforementioned quirks?) the final product manages to be as interesting as Herzog's remake. Plus it benefits from Plummer and Pleasance's presence (scant as the latter's part may be) and sumptuous gothic Venetian settings. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review kyle e Churchill Crescent, South Molton, EX36 4EL Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Un' immonda trashata! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Bound to disappoint both the art film viewers and the horror fans as the film falls into neutral ground between intellectual and brain dead. It is simply too hard to read the director's intentions and even the Venice shots make the film either seem overblown or beautiful.
