Dracula is a French fantasy film directed by Luc Besson, starring Caleb Landry Jones, Christoph Waltz, and Zoe Bleu. This reinterpretation of the origins of the legendary vampire combines romance and gothic horror. Available on VOD on December 2, 2025, following its theatrical release on July 30.
In the 15th century, Prince Vladimir, overwhelmed by the death of his wife, renounces God and is cursed with eternal life. Now a vampire, he spends centuries in solitude until he encounters a young woman who looks exactly like the one he lost. This drama explores an immortal being's quest for love and damnation.
Shot between France and Romania, the film draws on a gothic aesthetic and contrasting lighting that evokes the chiaroscuro of ancient paintings. Luc Besson unfolds a story centered on the pain of grief and the curse of immortality, supported by elegant staging and meticulous visual work.
With its melancholic atmosphere and introspective approach to the myth, Dracula will appeal to viewers who enjoy fantasy dramas and tragic love stories. The film follows in the footsteps of works such as Interview with the Vampire and Crimson Peak, focusing on the emotional dimension of the monster rather than pure horror.
