8) Shadow of the Vampire (2000)

A chilling blend of dark comedy and horror, Shadow of the Vampire (2000) offers a twisted reinterpretation of the filming of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 OG masterpiece. Willem Dafoe fully immerses himself in the role of Schreck, delivering a performance so unsettling and hypnotic that you can’t tear your eyes away. Meanwhile, Malkovich brings Murnau to life as a maniacal genius, obsessed with achieving cinematic perfection at any cost. If Eggers' haunting, meticulous take on horror catches your attention, this one might captivate you even more.
