LOS VAMPIRES
Fictionalizing the fascinating making of George Melford’s 1931 Spanish-language DRACULA, LOS VAMPIRES ventures behind-the-scenes of one of Hollywood’s most unusual productions. In 1930 Hollywood, a Spanish actor (LOST’s Henry Ian Cusick) is cast in the night shoot of a soon-to-be-legendary vampire film, using the same sets occupied during the day by its English-language counterpart. Tasked with recreating the performance of DRACULA’s English-speaking star, he begins crossing paths with his daytime rival during the transitory hours between shoots. Professional curiosity soon gives way to jealousy, ego, and an escalating competition between the two men. But as Hollywood manufactures its latest screen monster, something far more sinister is unfolding behind the cameras. A string of real-life murders on and around the soundstage begin to blur the line between performance and reality, transforming a unique chapter of early Hollywood history into a mystery of ambition, obsession, and genuine horror.
This film is presented as part of the New American Perspectives program. Developed in partnership with the Vilcek Foundation, the program shines a spotlight on immigrant and foreign-born artists, celebrating the powerful impact that diversity has on contemporary cinema and storytelling in the United States.
Actor Henry Ian Cusick will participate in a post-screening Q&A following the film’s premiere and the New American Perspectives panel discussion at Honolulu Civil Beat on Monday, October 26.
