SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

The never-predictable Jude (Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World) returns with a typically outrageous take on his country’s most famous legend, centered around a young and curious filmmaker who challenges his creativity with the limitless possibilities of AI. The result combines a vampire hunt, zombies and Dracula crashing a strike, a science-fiction tale about Vlad the Impaler’s return, an adaptation of the first Romanian vampire novella, a tragic romance, a vulgar folktale, AI-generated kitsch… and much, much more.

“Conflates artificial intelligence with Vlad the Impaler—two undead bloodsuckers that feed on humanity in order to seem alive.” – IndieWire
