It's a mesmerizing spectacle.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

He's (Dafoe) the stuff bad dreams are made of. He's also the best movie vampire since Schreck's original. He deserves a bloody Oscar.Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

"Willem Dafoe is Max Schreck." I put quotes around that because it's not just a line for a movie ad but the truth: He embodies the Schreck of "Nosferatu" so uncannily that when real scenes from the silent classic are slipped into the frame, we don't notice a difference.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Kicky, elaborately constructed fantasy.Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

At once wildly metaphorical and distressingly literal-minded, Shadow of the Vampire tries, with mixed success, to be scary, funny and profound all at once.Full Review
