Don’t Sleep on This Underappreciated Indie Vampire Movie — David Lynch Funded It for a Reason
Nadja is a vampire movie that narratively and stylistically breaks from tradition, so much so that David Lynch stepped in to fund it.
Abstract horror can often leave you feeling more haunted than a movie with more traditional ghosts and goblins. David Lynch was a master of the surreal and bizarre, so it’s not that surprising that he had a hand in making one of the strangest vampire movies of the '90s, Nadja. Ostensibly, the plot revolves around the daughter of Dracula going up against the modern-day Van Helsing family – but that’s not really important compared to its philosophical discussions about life and its singular visual style that was intentionally shot to be grainy and borderline indecipherable at times.
