Short Film: Nosferatu Rising


This is a short film that director Sean Genders released in 2018 and comes in around he 7-minute mark. I have to thank friend of the blog and correspondent Billy for making me aware of it.

There is not too much to say about this one, after an establishing castle and bats shot, we see four vampire hunters enter the castle and an Orlock styled vampire, credited as Nosferatu (Jac Charlton), high above them.

Inside the castle is a captive woman (Elena Renn) and the hunters have come to save her. They carry pretty steampunk inspired weaponry, for instance a steam powered stake thrower and an illuminated holy water squirter. The vampire has the keys to her manacles, of course. The look of the vampire was really nicely done but the film is pretty dark, murky even. I suspect that was both an aesthetic choice and as a way of obfuscating the joins.

The imdb page is here.
