Dr. John Seward, a depressed doctor at an asylum for the criminally insane, finds a rare glimmer of hope when he connects with his new neighbor, Mina, and her young daughter, Lucy. But beneath the city streets, an ancient evil stirs in the sewers. Dracula is building a harem of undead brides, and he soon sets his sights on Lucy.
When Dracula brutally slaughters the child and forces Mina into a blood-pact that leaves her raving and committed to John’s asylum, John is pushed to the edge. Guided by nightmarish visions, John descends into the subterranean darkness to stake Dracula and end the curse. But confronting the monster exacts a terrifying toll, shattering John’s sanity and transforming him into the very terror he set out to destroy.
Dracula: The Night Around Us will premiere at Tubi FrightFest on August 30th.
