Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKlaus Kinski was supposed to reprise his character from the Werner Herzog picture Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), wearing the same make-up (bald head, chalk-white skin, protruding teeth). However, the actor arrived on the set sporting long hair and declaring that he had no intention of going through painful make-up sessions again. This is why "Nosferatu" doesn't look anything like the original F.W. Murnau-Herzog character.
- GoofsWhile reading from the old text, Christopher Plummer pronounces the word "compare" as "com-pair," following English pronunciation. However, the Latin or Italian word "compare" should be pronounced "com-pa-reh," with each syllable distinctly enunciated and the final "e" softly pronounced. In Italian, "compare" means "godfather" or "companion," and the mispronunciation is particularly noticeable, given the historical and linguistic context of the text.

"Vampires Are Everywhere!"...
In VAMPIRE IN VENICE, Professor Paris Catalano (Christopher Plummer) is obsessed with tracking down the infamous blood-drinker of the title (Klaus Kinski). When Catalano finds a strange family in Venice, who were originally from Transylvania, he believes he's hit pay dirt.
This leads to the backstory being told, while Donald Pleasence makes an appearance.
When a medium is called in, resulting in a seance, the so-called "Prince of Putridity" returns! Death and doom are the result!
Kinski is quite convincing and threatening in his undead role. His interesting facial features have always made him the perfect villain, whether in horror or crime thrillers. He pulls off being pure eeevil with ease! Plummer is doggedly heroic as the Van Helsing-like Catalano.
While not a bad movie, it does tend to drag on interminably in spots...
