Shadow of the Vampire

Saturday · 26 Oct 02 · 07:49 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Movies

I saw Shadow of the Vampire on AXN on 24th.  Now this is one of the strangest movies I have ever seen.  In 1921, German filmmaker Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau made Nosferatu - a vampire movie based on Bram Stoker's story Dracula.  This movie is basically centered around F.W. Murnau (here played by John Malkovich) and his film.  It's actually a horror movie, because it suggests that the actor who played Count Orlock in Murnau's film, Max Schreck (played here by Willem Dafoe, who is fantastic) may have actually been a vampire himself!  Like I said, very strange!  I didn't know what to make of this movie.  It is written by Steven Katz and directed by E. Elias Merhige.

I felt like kicking myself (no wait I did) after seeing my AIMCAT 314 results.  My All-India Rank was 44 (yow!) but I got a score of 7.00 in Section 4, where the cut off mark was 7.33!!  If I had just NOT ANSWERED a couple of questions in that section which I had got wrong, I would have cleared the cut off!
