Augusto Caminito

The Profile

Italian film producer who took on directing duties for Nosferatu a Venezia; associated with Italian horror cinema.

Per contemporary reviews, Caminito was primarily a producer who improvised as director on Nosferatu a Venezia due to problems with the originally assigned directors; the film features Klaus Kinski and is set/shot in Venice.

A mixed review: the film is praised for Venice photography and Klaus Kinski's presence but criticized for amateurish execution, static scenes, weak screenplay and a Bontempi-like soundtrack. The reviewer frames the film as a charming failure and a missed opportunity in Italian horror cinema.
