The film stars Caleb Landry Jones and Christoph Waltz as Vlad the Impaler, reimagined as a once-loved soldier cursed with immortality after losing his wife Elisabeta. Meanwhile, Buddy captivates audiences with its colorful animation and plot surrounding a TV show hosted by an orange unicorn, Buddy, who demands obedience from children.\n\nAdditionally, two highly anticipated releases have made their way to streaming.
