Primetime (2026) is a Dracula Adaptation

A24's Primetime (2026) retells Bram Stoker's Dracula with Chris Hansen as the monster. Hansen lures prey through digital incantations, creeps through his sting houses like the count in his castle, and is likewise destroyed by his hubris when he ventures out of his domain. This video explores how director Lance Oppenheim uses the Dracula mythology to ask an important question: who is generating your moral outrage, and what are they getting out of it?
