The subject of time travel and quantum mechanics is an interesting topic for sci-fi filmmakers to munch on, and Larry Wade Carrell’s 2023 film, The Quantum Devil, is no exception. It’s a sly wink at the fact that not every quest for knowledge yields Nobel-worthy results. Sometimes, it lands you in a parallel universe where the extraordinary is the new ordinary, and danger lurks around every corner. Meet our fearless foursome: Matthews, Luke, Ivanna, and Sophie, who’re on a wild goose chase to solve a riddle that’s more mind-boggling than a Picasso painting. As they go down the rabbit hole, they come across a dimension where the rules of life and death don’t matter, old secrets pop up, and who knows what else!

Director: Bob Willems.
Writers: Phil Nichols (story), Molly Vernon (screenplay).
The character of Renfield is quite the complex one to understand. In Bram Stoker's original treatment Dracula, he's characterized as the quintessential madman obsessed with the consumption of life. He serves a secret master, and Stoker never intended to have him survive past the events of the novel.
Just how he lasted to be featured in Renfield, the Undead almost needs to be asked. The presumption is that the staff of the asylum simply just buried him, and there he remained until the time was right for him to claw himself out of the dirt. If one interment was not enough, being buried six feet under was enough to really send him to go off the deep end.
Some people may see Phil Nichols performance of Renfield reminiscent of the Joker from "Batman." This actor certainly...

Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs, Driftwood) will be playing L.J, the head orderly of the Stevens Sanitarium; James Fury (Walking Distance) will be playing Billy Doyle, the unlucky telephone repair technician dispatched to the isolated asylum for what proves to be a most deadly meeting with the inmates; and Anthony Brownrigg (Red Victoria), who's also the son of the late S.F. Brownrigg, will be playing Sergeant Craig Jaffe, one of the more dangerous patients in the sanitarium.

If there's anybody out in the indie world that sends us updates on their projects more often than the multi-talented Phil Nichols, I don't know who it is. Today he sent over a new batch of stills from Vampire Diaries Renfield, but best of all, they include the first shot of one of the creatures Nichols' Facades FX is doing for the film.
Phil, who, along with portraying Renfield, also wrote the screenplay, tells us, "Week 6 has wrapped. We did a lot of flying FX and aerial fight work on green screen for the climax. These pictures are from the Harkers' lair and all the naughty goings on that will happen in there..."
Besides Nichols, the stars include Julin, John Stevens (as Dracula), Cory Hart, Shelley Boozer, Mel House, Paul Damon, Joe Grisaffi, Tyler Tackett, and Keli Wolfe. The director is Bob Willems.
The new pictures begin on Page 4 of our Renfield gallery.

Phil Nichols, who portrays Renfield in the currently filming Vampire Diaries Renfield, dropped us a line with an update on the shoot and provided us with a batch of new photos to share with Dread Central readers.
Here's what Phil told us, "We're winding down Week 5 and are 3/4 through shooting the script. We are working to make the deadline to premiere the film at the Bram Stoker Film Festival in Whitby, England this October.
Last night we wrapped the 1895 flashbacks with Renfield. We're keeping Count Dracula's make-up a secret and won't release pics of his face until the movie premieres, but here's a look at the Brides of Dracula (Denise Williamson, Reem Al-Hellou, and Michelle James)."
Along with Nichols (who also wrote the screenplay) and the aforementioned Brides, the stars include Julin, John Stevens (as Dracula), Cory Hart, Shelley Boozer, Mel House, Paul Damon, Joe Grisaffi, Tyler Tackett, and Keli Wolfe.
