The original film, titled The Death of Dracula (Drakula Halála) was producesd in 1921 as a Hungarian-Austrian-French co-production, one year before F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu. Given its production date, it may be considered the first Dracula" film in the world. The original negative and copies of the film were destroyed during the Second World War. Although the original screenplay could not be located, a book of the same title was published by Lajos Pánczél after the film's release. A reproduction of the script was created based on the book, and then this "remake" of the original film shot using the reproduced script.

Productions from around the world offer valuable insights into the history and culture of their respective countries. And just like literature, cinema can help us understand the present by showing us the past.
