Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)
Werner Herzog remakes Murnau as a tragedy, and Klaus Kinski's Dracula is the genre's saddest monster. The vampire here is not merely frightening.
Actor: Klaus Kinski
Klaus Kinski made five films with Werner Herzog including Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo, and the productions were violent enough that Herzog has described considering shooting him. He appeared in more than a hundred and thirty films, many taken purely for money. His daughter Pola has since accused him of sustained abuse across her childhood.
