DREKAVAC I AI Short Horror Film

Description: This AI-generated folk-horror film, published by MrJakeFilms, follows a handful of villagers sent to take down and bless the impaled dead left behind by Vlad III of Wallachia’s winter raids in 1461–62. Among the bodies, they discover a young woman who died carrying a child, but an approaching blizzard forces them to leave the child unbaptized. As the storm engulfs the field of stakes, something begins hunting them. Told in Serbian, the three-minute short connects its historical setting with the Drekavac, described in the filmmaker’s synopsis as a spirit from Serbian and Bosnian folklore whose scream heralds death, turning neglected burial rites into a supernatural reckoning.
