F.W. Murnau (Malkovich) is a director making Nosferatu on location in Eastern Europe. Determined to
make this the most authentic movie ever, Murnau has employed a real vampire, Max Schreck (Dafoe). He
explains Schreck's weird behavior by saying that he is a fastidious method actor. As payment, Schreck
has been promised drug-addicted beauty Greta (Catherine McCormack). But as Murnau begins filming, the
cast and crew begin to wonder about Schreck, especially as strange things begin to happen on and
around the set.
