Montrak

After a series of mysterious killings in the German countryside, it is discovered that vampires with origins in the Middle Ages are to blame for the attacks. The condemned vampire clan leader and his followers created a new master to replace him, one to rule over the present day, unless he an his minions can be stopped by a group of modern vampire killers.

Directed by Stefan Schwenk, Montrak leans on a strong ensemble — Sönke Möhring, Adam Jaskolka, Dustin Semmelrogge — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2017.
