Plot Summary

Vampire Carnival is a 2026 horror film directed by David Charbonier and Justin Powell from a screenplay by Jason Filardi and Peter Filardi. Gemma (Nell Verlaque), carrying a loss she has not processed, is drawn with her friends to a carnival that arrives in town overnight and falls for a stranger there. What the carnival conceals is an underground world whose inhabitants feed on human despair, presided over by Toussaint (Jason Isaacs), and the price of leaving is one Gemma may not be able to pay.
Kieron Moore plays Eric and Paulina Chávez plays Olivia, with Eoin Macken, Alicia Sanz and Cedrick Cooper in the cast. Aura Entertainment released it in US cinemas on 7 October 2026. The runtime is 1 hour 46 minutes, rated R for strong bloody violent content, sexual content and nudity, drug use and language, and it is a Spanish and American co-production shot at 2.39:1.
The premise puts the monster's appetite on emotion rather than blood, which is where the film separates itself from the subgenre it sits in. For horror audiences who want their vampires doing something other than biting.
