French Vampire Tale The Vourdalak Arriving June 28

The Vourdalak, a French vampire tale from director Adrien Beau, will release in theaters June 28, 2024, and the trailer dropped today.

When the Marquis d’Urfé, a noble emissary of the King of France, is attacked and abandoned in the remote countryside, he finds refuge at an eerie, isolated manor. The resident family, reluctant to take him in, exhibits strange behavior as they await the imminent return of their father, Gorcha. But what begins simply as strange quickly devolves into a full fledged nightmare when Gorcha returns, seemingly no longer himself.

The film is based on the 1839 gothic novella The Family of the Vourdalak by Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy. By comparison, Bram Stoker’s Dravula was published 58 years later in 1897.
