Dracula (2025)


Luc Besson’s Dracula: A Love Tale is a 2025 Gothic romantic fantasy film that reimagines Bram Stoker’s classic novel as a tragic love story. Starring Caleb Landry Jones as Dracula and Christoph Waltz as a relentless priest, the movie explores the Count’s 400-year quest to reunite with the reincarnation of his lost wife.

After his wife’s murder, a 15th-century prince renounces God and becomes immortal. Centuries later, he discovers his wife’s reincarnation in Mina Murray and attempts to reclaim her while being hunted by a vengeful priest.

The film has received mixed to positive reviews, with a 75% score on Rotten Tomatoes, praised for its lush visuals and performances but criticized for an inconsistent tone. Notably, there is also a separate 2025 Romanian satirical film titled Dracula directed by Radu Jude, which premiered at the Locarno Film Festival in August 2025.
