Temperatures will drop to 5[degrees]F, and the filthy roadside ditch from which the refugees fetch their gray fetid water will freeze...

Merhige and writer Steven Katz have fashioned a wicked homage to the dank nuttiness of filmmaking--and to the notion that movies can suck the life out of those who make them, even as they give life to those who see them. Besides, Dafoe is one fetid mesmerizer. When an actress recoils from doing a scene with Schreck, Murnau lightly advises, "Relax and let the vampire do all the work."
