MADALINA BELLRAIU ION Talks Vampires And "DRAINED" With Macabre Daily (INTERVIEW)

Just like their immortality, Vampires will never go out of style. For generations, they have been a staple of our mythology and a regular part of a healthy horror diet for decades. With each new decade seems to come a reinvention of the iconic character not just to adapt it to our current context, but take strides to keep the formula fresh and bloody. And it’s not like we are tired of vampires if the success of “Nosferatu” and “Abigail” is any inclination, it’s that we like to see new ideas take hold of and enrapture us.

Reinvention is a core part of the vampire story in “Drained,” which was an official selection last October at LA’s Screamfest Horror Film Festival from Directors Peter Stylianou and Sean Cronin. We got a chance to speak with Actress Madalina Bellariu Ion about her role as “Rhea,” and even learned a thing or two about Transylvania! Check out our interview below, and stay tuned for our review of “Drained” coming soon!

“Drained” will be releasing on all major VOD platforms January 28, 2025.
