‘Daydreamers’ Exclusive Clip Offers a Tasty Bite for Vampires

Vampire lore gets reimagined in Daydreamers, a groundbreaking genre-bender set in modern-day Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Our exclusive clip invites you to try a tasty bite in a high-end restaurant serving up a vampire feeding frenzy.

The Vietnamese vampire genre-bender releases in theaters on May 2 before heading to all major digital platforms on June 3.

Daydreamers follows “Nhat, a young vampire raised in a secluded river community that suppresses its thirst for human blood in hopes of regaining lost humanity.  When his long-lost brother Marco returns with stories of vampires thriving in the big city amongst humans, Nhat is drawn into a dangerous world that tests his loyalty, beliefs, and survival.  His fate takes a turn when he meets Ha, a rebellious schoolgirl who uncovers his secret—forcing Nhat to break vampire law in an act of forbidden protection.  As Trieu, a ruthless vampire queen, orders their execution, the city erupts into chaos, setting the stage for a final battle between brothers—one embracing the monster within, the other fighting to hold onto his last shred of humanity.”

Tran Ngoc Vang (Nhat), Thuan Nguyen (Marco), Trinh Thao (Ha), and Chi Pu (Trieu) star in the film that blends horror, fantasy, and thriller, written and directed by Timothy Linh Bui.

Daydreamers is one of the first vampire films to emerge from Vietnam and was nominated for six awards at the prestigious Vietnamese 2025 Ngoi Sao Xanh (New Face of the Year) Awards and won “Best Director” Timothy Linh Bui, “Best New Talent” Tran Ngoc Vang and “Best Production Design” An Do. As the trailer and exclusive clip below indicate, the vampre genre-bending showcases stunning visual effects.

“I wanted to tell a story about people who live within the shadows of a modern city,” states Bui.  “I was inspired by the Vietnamese riverboat communities, who have been there for decades and are overlooked by those around them.  As the ultimate outsiders, vampires are the perfect vehicle to explore that world.  They exist in secrecy, live on the margins, and are defined by their need to remain hidden.”
