Directed by Stephen Nicksic, and coming in at under 5-minutes, I can’t find an IMDb page. This looks to retell a snippet of Dracula in the modern day and feels more a proof of concept than anything, which is fair as I understand it was shot as part of a Fiction into Film Course in 2014.
It starts in London, outside a church where Jonathan (Joshua Klingseisen) and Mina (Maridee Mund) have just attended Hawkins’ funeral. They walk and get a bus to Piccadilly. In a park Jonathan sees a man (Nathan Holter) and declares it is Dracula but grown young. Unlike the novel, the Count sees them as he is alone (and not fixated on his prey).
There are flashes of imagery and Jonathan comes round on a park bench with Mina – he passed out, she says. They have a long walk ahead of them. Night has fallen when they reach an alley and, unbeknown to them, Dracula steps from out of the shadows.
And that’s it, short and sweet and a project that underlines that even the shortest snippet of Stoker’s novel can get some love.
