Vietnamese Vampire Film ‘Daydreamers’ Gets U.S. Trailer, Release Date

“I hunt. I kill. And I bleed them dry.”

Vietnamese vampire film Daydreamers will open in select U.S. theaters on May 2 with an expanded rollout to follow before hitting Digital on June 3 via Dark Star Pictures.

Set in modern-day Saigon, Nhat is a young vampire raised in a secretive riverboat community that suppresses its thirst for human blood. When his estranged brother tempts him with freedom in the city’s nightlife, Nhat breaks vampire law to protect a rebellious girl who uncovers his secret—sparking a deadly chain of events.

One of the first vampire films to emerge from Vietnam, Daydreamers blends horror, thriller, and fantasy elements into an emotionally charged twist on monster mythology with stunning visual effects and a powerful story of loyalty, identity, and survival.

Written and directed by Timothy Linh Bui, the film stars Chi Pu, Trinh Thao, Thuan Nguyen, and Tran Ngoc Vang.

“I wanted to tell a story about people who live within the shadows of a modern city,” said 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.”
