Vampires and villains are out in full force this week, including one played by a very familiar Harry Potter alum. Arriving on digital this week is Vampire Carnival, a new play on the undead bloodsucker mythos starring Jason Isaacs, which you can watch the trailer for below.
Directed by David Charbonier and Justin Douglas Powell, Vampire Carnival is written by Jason and Peter Filardi, and stars Isaacs alongside Nell Verlaque, Kieron Moore, Paulina Chávez, Alicia Sanz, and Eion Macken. The film’s synopsis is as follows:
VAMPIRE CARNIVAL follows a grieving young woman who is drawn to a mysterious traveling carnival that appears without warning in her small town. Seduced by its eerie spectacle and promises of escape, she soon discovers that the carnival is a gateway to a hidden world where vampires feed not on blood, but on human despair. As she becomes ensnared in its seductive illusions, she must confront the trauma she’s been running from or risk becoming the carnival’s next permanent attraction.
Filmed in Spain, Vampire Carnival — originally titled Crave — is produced by Roger Corbi, Dominic Rustam, and Christian Mercuri, with Roman Viaris executive producing alongside writers Jason and Peter Filardi.
Known to horror fans for his roles in films like A Cure for Wellness and Event Horizon, Vampire Carnival is not Isaacs’ only role in a scary movie this year. He also plays a pivotal role in the forthcoming Victorian Psycho, starring Maika Monroe as a deranged maid taking out her stress on the children she’s meant to be caring for.
Vampire Carnival arrives on VOD on October 30.
