A new take on Dracula, a horror movie inspired on Barney, and more

Happy weekend! There’s something for everyone at the movies this week, from genre fare like Street Fighter and Whalefall to corset romance, with the new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. But if you don’t want to leave home, there’s also plenty to watch, from VOD to streaming.

French auteur Luc Besson is back with his latest film, a new take on Dracula, starring Caleb Landry Jones and Christoph Waltz. Buddy is also available, following a group of kids trapped inside the surreal and creepy world of “It’s Buddy!”, a TV show hosted by an orange unicorn that looks a lot like Barney.

Two much-discussed releases have also hit streaming: Hope, a South Korean film following a community under attack from an alien force that has one of the most controversial twists in recent memory, and Practical Magic 2, the legacy sequel starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.

Other releases include the action-packed Runner, starring Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson, and The Death of Robin Hood, following Hugh Jackman as a weathered and jaded take on the legendary figure of English folklore. Happy watching.

Dracula or Dracula: A Love Tale reimagines the Bram Stoker classic, following Vlad the Impaler (Caleb Landry Jones) as a lovelorn soldier who, after losing his great love Elisabeta (Zoe Bleu), is cursed with immortality and transformed into Dracula. Four hundred years later, he encounters the reincarnation of the woman he lost, inspiring an obsession as well as the relentless pursuit of a vampire-hunting priest (Christoph Waltz).
