The TVI Take

Werner Herzog's 1979 remake of F.W. Murnau's 1922 Nosferatu, anchored by Klaus Kinski.

The structural commitment to using period-1920s German Expressionist visual language at register the modern-cinema budget allowed, and Kinski's specific Count Orlok performance, establishes the catalog's most-formally-disciplined horror entry.
