Nosferatu in Venice (1988)

 This is a kinda, sorta sequel to Herzog's Nosferatu, Klaus Kinski returns to the role, only the chronology of events here directly contradicts the earler film. Donald Pleasance and Christopher Plummer help with name recognition and financing, but not alot else; both characters prove pretty useless against the vampire threat, in fact Plummer's character packs up and leaves after a failed attempt, stating aloud it was hubris for him to have even tried. The narrative is confusing, it's a difficult film to summarize, action sequences and some generous nudity seek to distract from the nonsensicality of the film. A mess, awful in many ways, but a surprisingly watchable mishmash of tropes, ideas and performances. Still, this is a classicaly bad movie. *
