Ah, I didn't go for years during the panademic. It was between SW:Rise
of Skywalker and Opennheimer movies. What was the last new released
movie for you in theatre?

Nosferatu for me. Wasn't super great and not really that new. One more
rehash of the tale of Count Dracula.

 If you were a fan of the early 20th C film, it was quite the homage, but
that has little interest to anyone but aspiring auteurs and goths.
 Otherwise, yeah. More Dracula. Lily Depp is pretty hot. Next, please.

I love vampire movies, usually.  For the most recent I've seen "Renfield" was pretty good.  Nicholas Cage made a very good Dracula. Obviously that one's a bit more camp than serious, and from the perspective of a modern Renfield. (didn't go over great with critics, but audience seems to like it)
I also really liked the e-book "A Journey of Black and Red"
Obviously inspired somewhat inspired by Interview with a Vampire, possibly a bit by V:tM (though I'm not that familiar with V:tM other than the computer game Bloodlines which is a must play.)
It starts off a bit confusing due to the state of the protag, but eventually gets really good and almost reads like based on an RPG campaign what with having to deal with increasingly deadly threats.
