"The SON of Nosferatu? Not ANOTHER vampire movie!" I said to myself, but I went to the screening anyway and was more than pleasantly surprised by this totally original short film. This is a contemporary tale of the progeny "fangster" -- now condemned to walk the grubby streets of London -- selling homeless magazines and snapping ineffectually at the passersby.
SON (played by the multi-faceted Tim Dry) is convincingly frustrated by the recession, as well as the difficulties he faces trying to call up his basic vampire faculties, but help is at hand from gorgeous fairy Melanie (Sophie Sumner). Together they embark upon a bumpy, colorful and hilarious journey (engagingly provided by director-writer David Rose), as they attempt to secure the future of the "Occult of the Undead". Composer Henry Marsh provides the atmospheric score and the supporting cast give their all.
