In 1993, invited by David Lynch to come up with a low-budget genre movie, Michael Almereyda came up with a moody, postmodern reimagining of the Dracula myth.
The film follows estranged vampire twins Nadja (Elina Löwensohn) and Edgar (a young Jared Harris) as they reunite following their father’s death by the flamboyantly unhinged Dr. Van Helsing, played with relish by Peter Fonda.
The film’s striking visuals combine high-contrast black-and-white 35mm cinematography with the hallucinatory grain of Pixelvision video, looking better than ever in this new 4K restoration of the director’s cut.
