Fans of Nosferatu might enjoy Elias Merhige's Shadow of the Vampire (1999), a re-working of the original's themes by means of making it a meta-narrative (film-within-a-film) - John Malkovich plays Murnau, Willem Dafoe plays Max Shreck, a local vampire who agrees to work for Murnau, but only at night. It's a clever reconstruction of the first while exploring the predatory violence of the medium itself - filming someone is essentially filming them die.
Yes, this was an excellent movie with an intriguing premise:
The vampire plays an actor who's playing a vampire--and the director knows it. Standout performances by Malkovich and Dafoe.
