“It’s fallen apart twice,” said the filmmaker of hisNosferatu.
I just want to be clear that he was going to be Hutter and not Nosferatu himself."
The director also talked about his frustration at being unable to get the production off the ground.
“I’ve been trying so hard,” the filmmaker said.
“And I just wonder if Murnau’s ghost is telling me, like, you should stop.”

The sets are very expressionistic and fake.
But even still, it stands up as something really incredible.
