Review of Shadow of the Vampire (2000) by Kullen S — 14 Dec 2014

This movie is more interested in capturing a moment in history as opposed to telling a compelling story. The first half, for instance, seems almost entirely without conflict, it's only when Max shows up that we get some sort of drama.

However even that drama is half baked in that we never really get a chance to know the damsel in distress here and thus the whole thing feels undercooked. The final just takes things in a completely bizarre direction that totally is beyond comprehension.

There's a good idea here but it's ruined by various factors: Avoid.
