Nadja

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Nadja approaches the Dracula legend from an idiosyncratic angle - and with just enough visual style to overcome uneven storytelling.

Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Oct 8, 2018
In the title role of Michael Almereyda's "Nadja," an elegant, witty but also sometimes tedious spin on the legend of Dracula, Elina Lowensohn is a black-caped beauty with a bold Frida Kahlo face. Go to Full Review

2/5
Not without interest, but less satisfying than even an average Hammer horror. Go to Full Review
Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Oct 20, 2009
This offbeat horror item works much better as a dreamy mood piece with striking poetic images and as a semicomic appreciation of a few quintessential low-budget actors than as straight-ahead storytelling. Go to Full Review

3/5
Stylish, eccentric and occasionally deliciously weird, it is a film for audiences who like their horror served with humour and their vampires with personality. Go to Full Review

B-
Michael Almereyda's 1994 take on "Dracula's Daughter" has received a stunning 4K director's cut restoration, the better to admire the visages of Romanian actress Elina Löwensohn and 'whatever-happened-to' Galaxy Craze, this film's love interest Lucy... Go to Full Review

All in all, Nadja successfully serves as a spiritual sequel to Dracula while still being a total mood piece. Go to Full Review

Leia G Nov 8, 2018 Nadja opens in modern-day Manhattan, where there are apparently all sorts of vampires and zombies roaming around. One such is the venerable Dracula (although he doesn't last more than ten minutes into the film), while others include his daughter Nadja and her twin brother Edgar.Dr. Van Helsing a nutcase vampire-killer acting like an aging hippie who dropped too much acid during the '60s, has driven a stake through Dracula's heart and is now after the kids. Helping him in his quest is his nephew. Nadja is atmospheric and the deadpan tongue in cheek humor serves it well but the film is too mashed up in various genres to really stand out. However, this is a good, rarely known Vampire movie that will be a good entertainment option for the night. See more
