Lately I have read scads of "best" horror film lists on the net. Hundreds even.
I have only seen this film on one or two lists. WHY? Where do people go wrong:)

This has been in my top 10 since it was 1st released and deservedly so.
It has it all: grotesque vampire (Klaus Kinski) beautiful woman in distress (Isabelle Adjani), World Class cinematography and direction (Werner Herzog) and even a pig taking a shit:eek: on a dreadful courtyard filled with the dying remains of people afflicted with Bubonic Plague.
This is so atmospheric and beautifully done in every conceivable way; a real tour de force, and it follows the storyline fairly faithfully. It is creepy and a masterpiece of modern cinema. The ONLY objection is that the Renfield is a bit much, but I can overlook this small blunder because everything else is so magnifico. Besides, there will never be another Dwight Frye; not even Tom Waits could pull that one off.
Any complaints???
