A frustrated filmmaker, facing creative paralysis, turns to an A.I. chatbot in order to make his latest movie a hit. The result is a series of increasingly outrageous vignettes exploring the myth of Dracula in all its forms. From a wild chase through the streets of modern Transylvania to eerie hauntings in the Romanian countryside, cinematic provocateur Radu Jude returns with another boundary-pushing epic featuring a union-busting Dracula breaking a strike, an adaptation of the first Romanian vampire novella, thwarted romance, fields of phalluses, lots of blood, and much more.

Siddhant Adlakha Observer The garish excess of generative A.I. receives a fittingly excessive dressing down in Radu Jude’s Dracula, a self-reflexive comedy that skirts ethical lines with a purpose. Rated: 3/4 Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Katie Rife RogerEbert.com It’s a slop movie made for a slop world, and Jude’s contempt for the tools that are facilitating this slop-pocalypse is tangible. Rated: 3/4 Sep 28, 2025 Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com It’s fucking nuts. Aug 17, 2025 Full Review Jason Adams Pajiba As madcap and mind-blowing as anything this delightfully deranged director’s put on-screen in the past... his Dracula movie ain’t your grandpa’s Francis Ford Coppola adaptation, that’s for sure... It’s daring, provocative, poke-you-in-the-eye punk shit. Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Andrew Reichel In Review Online Jude’s commitment to excess and not settling down means the movie is materially coherent by virtue of explicitly being about contemporary incoherencies, and its points are being expressed in a way that no one else has quite done before. Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Alan Zilberman Spectrum Culture Director Radu Jude adopts the often-misunderstood “depiction is not endorsement” approach: his film argues that generative AI is quite literally a vampire, sucking the blood out of civilization as we know it.
