The Vourdalak

Karloff’s Gorca is devastating. He returns to his family covered in the blood of a robber—or so he claims. He sits by the fire, speaking softly, while his family watches him with paralyzed fear. The iconic moment comes when Gorca’s son, Ivan, must shoot his own father with a silver bullet (the only way to kill a Vourdalak, according to the film).

If you are a horror fan tired of the same old tropes, seek out The Vourdalak (2023). It is currently streaming on Shudder, AMC+, and select platforms like Fandor. Do not watch the trailer. Go in blind. The Vourdalak
