The premise

Horror comedy film following vampire count Geza von Kösznöm who's visiting groundbreaking neurologist Sigund Freud because he's bored of his life and frustrated of the "eternally long" relationship with his wife Elsa.

Horror Vault's take

In 1930s Vienna, a centuries-old vampire count finds his eternal existence less thrilling than one might expect — so he does what any brooding nobleman might do and books sessions with Sigmund Freud. Trapped in a loveless immortal marriage and numbed by the passage of ages, Count Geza von Kösznöm is overdue for some serious self-reflection. This Austrian horror-comedy blends period charm with sharp wit, mining the absurdity of a creature of the night lying on the analyst's couch. Equal parts gothic atmosphere and dry humor, it's a playful riff on vampire mythology filtered through the lens of psychoanalysis.
