Dracula: Rise of the Vampire

About
Produced by Pentagram Pictures in association with Dark Moon Motion Pictures and Martin Nuza Productions, this new Dracula tale is set fifty years after Hammer Horror’s classic The Satanic Rites of Dracula. When a satanic cult slaughters a London congregation in their bid to resurrect Count Dracula, disgraced former detective Gabriel Lee is dragged back into the fight. Reunited with his ex-partner, he must confront the undead and prevent a full-scale vampire apocalypse. Nathan Head appears as Father James, a pivotal character in the struggle against Dracula’s dark resurgence. Dracula: Rise of the Vampire had its world premiere on Thursday 21st August 2025 at the historic Savoy Cinema in Heaton Moor, Greater Manchester, an atmospheric 1920s Art Deco venue. Paying homage to the iconic vampire films of the 1970s, it blends classic horror traditions with a fresh, blood-soaked twist, laced with camp comedy moments and breathtaking stunt and action sequences. The film is slated for general release in 2025/2026.
