Director : Gary Shore
Running Time : 92 mins
Prince Vlad (Evans) rules his kingdom with a calming influence, in spite of having a reputation for slaughtering his enemies, but when a Turkish invader named Mehmed (Cooper) insists on taking a thousand of his countries boys to create an army, including his own son Ingeras (Parkinson), Vlad is forced to turn to an unnatural solution by becoming a monster to prevent the Turks from invading his lands out of retribution.
Fans of the sort of vampire movies where there is nothing but action and no attempt to give the characters any sort of personality beyond the surface will not like this. There is very little vampirism for the first hour beyond the scenes with Charles Dance, and there is more attention spent on creating a history for Vlad The Impaler. However, people who enjoy the original book will find this reimagining of Vlad’s history intriguing and engrossing, with a final half hour of action as the payoff.
