Shadow of the Vampire Back in the 1920s, the production of the first rip-off film of Dracula was plagued by misfortune and deaths. This film speculates that the reason was that the role of the vampire in the film was played by a real vampire, who naturally had to fulfill his blood lust. The film is a fictionalised account of the production of that 1920s film. It bills itself as a horror, but turns out more like an over-the-top black comedy. 90 minutes, No persons under 10 (Violence). Comedy, Drama, Horror. You can usually find additional (copyrighted) pictures, trailers, etc, on the Official Site. Where's it showing?

The Moviesite Fan Club comments

Ian Douglas: Yes, it features good performances and good cinematic effects, and, if I was rating it purely for ''film as art'', my rating would be higher. Since I don't believe in vampires, I didn't buy the basic premise, which probably also influenced my rating. Towards the end, it went distinctly over the top and lost all credibility, which is a pity. Don't expect to be particularly scared.
