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.

Jude is an interesting, admirably unorthodox filmmaker who likes to push his viewers. Here, he simply punishes us.

Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

A raucous mélange of the demented and the degrading, indulging in the very garish, grotesque, X-rated madness it condemns.

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

NYC Movie Guru

An experimental, zany, bold, subversive and satirical interpretation of the classic novel by Bram Stoker.

Spectrum Culture

What we have here is a solid joke undermined by an indulgently elongated delivery all leading up to something that doesn’t really resemble a punch line or even a clear statement.

Cinemalogue

The random gags don’t always connect, but not for lack of audacity. There are big laughs for those on the same offbeat wavelength.
