Get ready for a unique cinematic experience as Radu Jude’s take on ‘Dracula’ hits theaters on October 29, just in time for Halloween. This film promises a blend of humor, horror, and a critique of modern society, making it a must-see this season.
Radu Jude is making waves with the rising distribution company 1-2 Special, bringing not one, but two films to audiences this year. The acclaimed Romanian director, known for works like “Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn” and “Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World”, is set to release his own interpretation of “Dracula” on October 29, just in time for Halloween.
This film is described as a “gloriously stupid” epic by IndieWire critic David Ehrlich, exploring the creation and deconstruction of the original vampire myth while incorporating generative AI image-making. Alongside “Dracula”, Jude will also present “Kontinental ’25”, which features Eszter Tompa as a bailiff grappling with her conscience after a disastrous eviction. Both films will be showcased at the New York Film Festival.
“Dracula” will hit select theaters starting October 29, following its premiere at the New York Film Festival in late September. True to Jude’s style, this film serves as a vibrant critique of late-stage capitalism, utilizing AI to reflect on itself through the journey of two actors attempting to adapt the first-ever Romanian vampire novel.
In an exclusive message to IndieWire, Jude expresses excitement for the film’s Halloween release: “Dear American friends, starting the 29th of October, you can see ‘Dracula’ by Radu Jude in cinemas in time for Halloween and other American holidays. The version offered is of Dracula in many, many shapes and many, many forms, some fit for those who think American life is horrific, some fit for people who think American life is great again. There’s something for everybody in this film. Vampires, fun, sex…”
For more insights, check out the video message below. Additionally, here’s a snippet from IndieWire’s review of “Dracula,” which premiered at the Locarno Film Festival: “A quasi-picaresque anthology about an unnamed director … who relies on a Transylvanian bot to salvage his new vampire movie after it only earns an 80 percent approval score from its latest test audience, ‘Dracula’ provides Jude a perfectly dumb excuse to unleash AI on the cinema, literature, and history of a civilization that had already been feeding on its own neck for a century or longer before ChatGPT first came online.”
