Mena Suvari<\/strong> (American Beauty) stars as the legendary Elizabeth B\u00e1thory, leading a coven of bloodsuckers hunt their prey on dating apps in Vampires of the Velvet Lounge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The horror comedy opens in select theaters March 20<\/strong> via Strand Releasing. Sink your fangs into the trailer below.<\/p>\n

Deep in the American South, a back alley absinthe bar harbors a deadly secret: Countess Elizabeth B\u00e1thory and her glamorous coven of vampires keep their killer instincts sharp by preying on lonely singles through dating apps, seducing and slaughtering to preserve their youth.<\/p>\n

But when Elizabeth swipes right on the wrong profiles \u2014 a cunning undercover vampire hunter and a band of emotionally stunted bros \u2014 the hunt spirals into hilariously horrifying chaos.<\/p>\n

Blood flies, fangs pierce flesh, and the bar erupts into a glitter-soaked, green fairy-winged, fang-filled fever dream of grindhouse gore, terrible decisions, and fashionably fatal carnage.<\/p>\n

Suvari stars with\u00a0Dichen Lachman<\/strong> (\u201cSeverance\u201d), Stephen Dorff<\/strong> (Blade), India Eisley<\/strong> (Underworld: Awakening), Tom Berenger<\/strong> (Platoon), Rosa Salazar<\/strong> (Alita: Battle Angel), and Tyrese Gibson<\/strong> (Fast & Furious franchise).<\/p>\n

Lochlyn Munro<\/strong> (Freddy vs. Jason), Sarah Dumont<\/strong> (Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse), Mark Boone, Jr.<\/strong> (\u201cSons of Anarchy\u201d), Sherman Augustus<\/strong> (\u201cStranger Things\u201d), and Timothy Murphy<\/strong> (\u201cTrue Detective\u201d) round out the cast.<\/p>\n

Wristcutters: A Love Story producer Adam Sherman<\/strong> writes and directs, in addition to producing alongside Marcus Englefield and George Lee. Brian O\u2019Shea, Nat McCormick, and Danny Gusman executive produce.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a vampire story inspired by the chilling, lesser-known legend of Elizabeth B\u00e1thory, the 16th-century Hungarian countess rumored to bathe in the blood of virgins to stay young,\u201d said Sherman. \u201cI set out to make the kind of horror film I loved growing up: one that\u2019s wild, disturbing, darkly funny, and made for the big screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vampires of the Velvet Lounge is rated R for \u201cstrong bloody violence, gore, language, and brief nudity.\u201d<\/p>\n
