Nosferatu in Venice

Set in Venice • 1h 33m

Directed by Augusto Caminito • 1988 • Italy
Starring Klaus Kinski, Christopher Plummer, Donald Pleasence

What was intended to be an unofficial sequel to Werner Herzog’s NOSFERATU instead became one of the most notoriously fascinating productions in EuroCult history. Klaus Kinski—fully unleashed—gives his penultimate performance as the legendary vampire resurrected in modern-day Venice with an insatiable hunger for warm blood and rough sex. Donald Pleasence and Christopher Plummer costar in this sumptuously insane shocker.

Plesae be advised: This film contains scenes of graphic sexual violence.
