Attraction of Horrors

Dream – reminiscent of Devil Line/West World/Jurassic Park/

Family (son and his GF, daughter, parents) goes on vacation somewhere, big resort/park area. Gets trapped/lost during one of the tours/events and ends up being attacked by "vampires" in a large abandoned(?) building (possibly a new attraction in the process of being built?).

Son gets bitten and infected during the attack, turns into a vampire. (Son kidnapped and turned slowly and then comes back to family later, or the infection spreads/turns very quickly and he turns during the actual attack – probably the first, give more time for the family to adjust and adapt to be able to think of ways to try and save him when he comes back and attacks, or just escapes on his own).

Family holes up and tries to survive the vampires roaming around the park. The son acts as their protecting force, but he's terrified of accidentally hurting them. His GF puts herself at risk to keep him controlled whenever he turns.

Turns out the "vampires: are a designed creature (infection meant to take over people, using homelessness/etc. as canvases??) intended to be part of the new attraction. They're wild/mindless when they're turned, but thought by company owners to be manageable and controllable (safe). They are unaware that the creatures are running rampant and attacking (scientists have been hiding it from them because of time/pressure demands), not that the creatures are contagious. They also do not realize they are actually people being used. They find out when they meet the son (vampire).
