Writer/director David Verbeek’s vampire movie Dead & Beautiful will be available to watch through the Shudder streaming service as of Thursday, November 4th – and along with that release date announcement comes a trailer, which can be seen in the embed above. Dead & Beautiful will be streaming on Shudder in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
Dead & Beautiful, which will also be screening at Fantastic Fest this Saturday, September 25th, tells the story of
five rich, spoiled Asian twenty-somethings who are suffering from upper class ennui, unsure how to spend their days when so little is expected from them. In search of excitement, the five friends form the Circle, a group where they take turns designing a unique, extravagant experience for the others. But things go wrong when the privileged urbanites awaken after a night out, to find they have developed vampire fangs and an unquenchable thirst for flesh, blood, and adventure at any price.

CineEuropa described the movie as “Crazy Rich Asians with fangs”.
Gijs Blom, Aviis Zhong, Yen Tsao, Philip Juan, and Anechka Marchenko star in Dead & Beautiful, which was produced by Erik Glijnis and Leontine Petit. The film is a co-production with Lemming Film, House on Fire International, Nukleus Film, and Woods of Light Film.
Verbeek previously directed Beat, Shanghai Trance, R U There, Club Zeus, How to Describe a Cloud, Full Contact, and An Impossibly Small Object.
Dead & Beautiful looks interesting to me, and the trailer indicates that it has a pretty cool visual style. I have renewed my Shudder subscription so I can watch the upcoming Elvira and Joe Bob Briggs specials, so I will probably be checking this one out when it’s released in November.
