Overview
- Dracula begins its U.S. theatrical run on October 29, released by 1-2 Special.
- The three-hour satire unfolds as an anthology of vignette-like 'digressions' rather than a traditional Bram Stoker adaptation.
- A framing device follows a struggling director who consults an on-screen AI persona, Dr. AI Judex, to generate plots and imagery.
- Jude says he deliberately selected the most obviously fake, low-quality AI outputs and used the tools to cover scenes he could not afford to shoot.
- Reviews highlight abrasive, explicit synthetic images and a homespun, phone-shot aesthetic, signaling sharply split reactions to the film’s scope and methods.
