Dracula

Set in contemporary Transylvania, this film explores the myth of Dracula through a fragmented series of narratives. The plot follows an actor playing the vampire who flees a performance, triggering a chaotic pursuit by tourists and business owners. Parallel to this, a director in crisis interacts with an artificial intelligence that generates various interpretations of the legend, ranging from science fiction and romantic tales to social commentary on labor strikes and folklore. These shifting perspectives blend classic horror with modern elements to reimagine the story of Vlad the Impaler.

Radu Jude wrote and directed the film, which follows his earlier works Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn and Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World. The cast features Adonis Tanța as the director, alongside Gabriel Spahiu, Oana Maria Zaharia, Alexandru Dabija, Lukas Miko, and Andrada Balea. Produced by companies including RT Features and Samsa Film, the production was a collaboration between several countries, including Romania, Austria, and the United Kingdom.

The film had a budget of 2 million USD. Since its release on October 15, 2025, it has received a rating of 6.2/10 on TMDB based on 21 votes. With a runtime of 170 minutes, the project is categorized as a mix of comedy, drama, horror, and science fiction.
