    the most poetic vampire film I have ever seen. Beautiful, emotional, raw, engaging, and vastly under-seen and under-rated.
  • November 16, 2006
    An experimental triumph, Nadja revamps the Dracula fable by centring the action on Drac's alluring daughter Nadja. Propelled by some decidedly off-kilter storytelling techniques and visuals (David Lynch has an acting part and was producer), Nadja is a rare gem. Look out in partic...( read more)ular for the most unusual Van Helsing yet; Peter Fonda's bicycle-riding longhair, and the strangely blurred horror images, which serve to perplex the veiwer and entice them into imaging what could be going on that we cannot/must not see. As absudly erotic as if it was made by Lynch himself, Nadja is a much-underseen 90s classic.

    One of the worst vampire movies I have ever come across. Its in my Suzy Amis Collection and the only reason I continued to watch it. Dracula gets hunted down and killed by the current Van Helsing. But Dracula's Daughter Nadja takes his place in the undead world. Nadja, coinciden...( read more)tally gets involved in a lesbian relationship with Lucy, wife to Jim Van Helsing. Its in B&W which takes away from the overall movie, after all it was filmed in 1994.I didn't get much out of this, maybe an Art house Movie, not sure, just didn't work for me at all. 1 Star

    I dont know how some people like this film. It is absolutely hideous. The dialogues and the actors were horrible. Nonetheless, i would give one star for the film just because director, Michael Almereyda, did a quite marvelous job by shooting an entire feature film with a Fisher-P...( read more)rice camera. Hence, two thumbs up for the cinematography.

    A unique film experience.

    A very strange movie. I kept waiting for my interest to grow but it never did even towards the end of the movie. It was all vampire poetry and while that's okay, I don't like it in my movies. I'll quickly forget about this movie in due time.

    I love this movie. Absolutely never get tired of it. The best vampire movie ever made. I love everything about it from the way it is filmed in grainy black and white, to the soundtrack, the performances, particularly Elina Lownsohn - perfect. I must have watched this about te...( read more)n times now.

    Crappy art-house vampire trash.
  • February 8, 2009
    This was a different type of vampire movie, shot in black and white and sometimes very grainy picture. David Lynch is executive producer and he also play a small part in this flick. This is not a big production movie and maybe not for everyone. Good acting from the cast, but ther...( read more)e's something missing...can't actually pinpoint what it is,but something is missing. Still it's worth the watch.
