Nadja

Cast:  Elina Lowensohn, Peter Fonda, Karl Geary

Director:  Michael Almereyda

1994


Nadja came in the mid 90's, attempting to play off the success of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Interview With The Vampire but with a low budget, indie, arthouse feel.  It's producer was David Lynch, a well know name for mystery and suspense and his unusual surreal visions, hot off the success of Twin Peaks, the high point of his career.  Nadja is part a modernized version of Bram Stoker's Dracula and part the classic Dracula's Daughter.  The entire film was shot in black & white and some shorter sequences were shot by a toy camera from Fisher Price to give an even more pixelated look.  The film's only familiar face is Peter Fonda as the modern Van Helsing.

Story:  Dracula has just been killed by Van Helsing.  Now his daughter and her sickly twin brother set out for a new lease on life.

Gay Factor:  Lesbian vampires
