Hailed as one of the more interesting takes on the classic story of Dracula, Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre is a perfect fit for a company like Scream Factory, which is all about giving proper recognition to films that may have slipped under the radar of fans over the years.
Sink your teeth into the details about this upcoming Blu-ray release!
From the Press Release
Since its release in 1979, Wener Herzog’s Nosferatu the Vampyre has not only become one of the director’s most acclaimed films, but one of the most compelling and visually-striking interpretations of the Dracula story ever committed to film. In his haunting interpretation of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 classic, Herzog eschews the popular conception of the vampire as confident and alluring, and instead focuses on the tragedy of the creature: doomed to immortality, weary, and disgusted at his own existence. A must for both cinephiles and horror fans alike,...

MUNICH -- The 58th Berlin International Film Festival, which runs Feb. 7-17, is presenting a one-off sidebar called Rebellion of the Filmmakers, dealing with the "turbulent, vibrant and also contentious" 1970s in German film, organizers said Monday.
Legendary Teutonic auteurs such as Werner Herzog, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Wim Wenders made their names during that period. They and many of their contemporaries were nurtured by the film "publisher" -- actually a filmmakers' cooperative -- Filmverlag der Autoren.
A documentary about the Filmverlag's history called "Gegenschuss -- Aufbruch der Filmemacher" (Reverse Angle -- Rebellion of the Filmmakers) is the centerpiece of the series, which starts Feb. 9 with seven feature films at Berlin's Filmkunst 66 cinema. The world premiere of "Rebellion" will be at the Zoo-Palast theater Feb. 11.
"Rebellion" was made by award-winning German documentarian Dominik Wesseley. It was produced by Rainer Koelmel of Leipzig-based indie Kinowelt, which took over the Filmverlag in 1999, and written by the first managing director of the Filmverlag, Laurens Straub, who passed away almost one year ago.
