Dead & Beautiful has made the festival rounds and is now on its way to horror streaming service Shudder. Vampire films have long been a favorite among horror and non-horror fans. This familiarity can make telling a new tale difficult since they have already been seen in so many different situations. Director David Verbeek’s looks to have pulled it off, however.
In the film, five rich, spoiled Asian twenty-somethings (Gijs Blom, Aviis Zhong, Yen Tsao, Philip Juan, Anechka Marchenko) are suffering from upper-class ennui, unsure how to spend their days when so little is expected from them.
In search of excitement, the five friends form the “Circle,” a group where they take turns designing a unique, extravagant experience for the others. But things go wrong when the privileged urbanites awaken after a night out, to find they have developed vampire fangs and an unquenchable thirst for flesh, blood, and adventure at any price.
Dead & Beautiful premieres on Shudder November 4
