Shadow Of The Vampire is a horror comedy film that reimagines the making of the 1922 German silent film Nosferatu. The film stars John Malkovich as F.W. Murnau, the director of Nosferatu, and Willem Dafoe as Max Schreck, the actor playing the vampire Count Orlok. The story takes a fictionalized approach to the filming of Nosferatu, suggesting that Schreck was actually a real vampire.
