The Death of Dracula
Official synopsis: This film is a remake of the 1921 silent movie Dracula’s Death, produced a year before Murnau’s famous Nosferatu. The original film was lost during World War II, but eight emerging directors (MA students of the Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania) reimagined it, each directing a chapter from the novel of the same title published 3 years after the film’s release. Shot on 16mm black and white film, the story diverges from Bram Stoker’s classic, unfolding as a series of nightmares and events set in an insane asylum where Dracula is one of the patients. Coincidentally, this is the first Dracula movie directed and produced by Transylvanians.
