Nosferatu, or the Icy Waters of Selfish Calculation

The film explores the story of a vampire who embodies the infamous serial killer from the Whitechapel district in London, notorious for his crimes in 1888. It delves into the dark side of bourgeois morality, portraying the vampire as a figure who enacts violent justice against prostitutes under the guise of virtue and order.

With a runtime of 95 minutes, this film offers a blend of horror and crime elements, making it a distinct entry within both genres. The narrative challenges the viewer to consider the implications of morality and repression, presenting a vampire that is not just a supernatural being but a twisted reflection of societal issues.

Featuring performances from Marcel Dossogne and Maïté Nahyr, the film is produced by Groupe de Chambre. Its unique approach to the vampire mythos and exploration of complex themes may appeal to collectors interested in niche horror and crime cinema from the 1970s.
