Besson's Dracula Lacks Bite Despite Lavish Color
IndieWire's review of Luc Besson's Dracula (2026) finds a visually lush but over-explained romantic vampire tale, with Caleb Landry Jones delivering energy as Dracula while Christoph Waltz reads as flat; the final act turns silly and the film struggles to deliver real suspense, earning a C- from Vertical for its U.S. release on February 6.
