This has been a movie that has been on my mind that I can't seem to recall the name of. I've been trying to search certain details, and I'm unsure if my troubles are because of the search engines I'm using (I refuse to use Google), or if it's because it's genuinely that much of a pain to find this film.

From what I remember about the movie, a vampire man catches his eyes on a young woman. Since the film is set in the past, the vampire asks her father for permission to marry her, to which the father responds that he wants his daughter to marry a hard-working man who'd support her, and that the vampire's hands are the softest hands he's ever felt in his life.

The vampire is not pleased with this, and if I remember correctly, kills the father while he's alone. With the father out of the way, he and the woman marry, and move to a property atop a hill. While I can't recall much of what happens afterwards, I do remember the woman finds out about her husband being a vampire, and a lot of paranormal stuff happening with the house and it's property, such as the snow outside turning a blood red. By the end of the movie, the vampire dies, and that's the last I remember happening.

If anybody knows of this film, I'd love to know the name of it. Might give it another watch after all these years and see if it's any good or not.

This sounds a lot like Crimson Peak (2015) but the main character isn't a vampire, so probably not it.

That's where you're wrong! This is it!

Thanks a million, seems I misremembered the antagonist being a vampire, but just watching the trailers and seeing certain scenes, this is 100% it.

Thanks a bunch!

Sounds super familiar. I think there is an episode of Buffy where Angel (or Spike?) does this in a flashback.

I took a look, and I don't think it's it. I remember the father looking completely different, and there was a lot more of a cinematic feel than there would be with a television series. I took a look at the movie to see if perhaps that was what I'm thinking of, but the setting doesn't seem to match up.

Reminds me I need to look into that some time, I once came across an episode on tape in my VHS preservation days.
