Nosferatu a Venezia, also known as Vampires in Venice, is an italian horror film released in 1988 and directed by Augusto Caminito, starring Klaus Kinski, Christopher Plummer and Donald Pleasence. Director-producer Caminito intended to produce a legitimate sequel to Werner Herzog's 1978 film, with Klaus Kinski reprising his role, but the actor refused to shave his head and don his make-up again, so the two films appear to be wholly unrelated. In this film, Kinski sports long blond hair and plays a character very different from the rather doleful Dracula he played in Herzog's picture. Here, the vampire, simply called "Nosferatu" (and not Dracula or Count Orlok), is an almighty and indestructible lord of the undead who wishes his immortal life to end but can only die if a virgin woman grants him her love. Christopher Plummer plays Paris Catalano, a rather ineffective vampire hunter. The film had a very troubled history, with several directors being fired and leaving the project, while Kinski's behavior on set caused many delays in shooting. Producer Caminito decided to direct the film himself when director Mario Caiano resigned after being insulted on the set by Kinski. The film proved unsuccesful at the italian box-office and enjoyed limited release abroad. Category:Horror filmsCategory:NosferatuCategory:vampires in film and television
