7/10
Not another re-telling of the Braums Stoker Dracula.
24 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
A blend of history and vampire mythology, a different glance at the legendary Dracula. A young Prince (not Count) Dracula, known as Vlad Tepes, (Luke Evans), a noble hero seeks out dark powers to protect his people threatened by a mighty throng of Turks. The storyline immediately seems to be ridiculous with a highly predictable plot, but to no avail. The romantic element of willing to give up his young son and leave his beautiful wife practically unprotected to become a monster to save his believers is what matters. This foray into darkness has Vlad the impaler transforming into a swarm of bats to kick butt. Quite visual with creative action and sustainable suspense.

The cast also features: Sarah Gadon, Charles Dance, Noah Huntley, Zach McGowan, Samantha Banks and Dominic Cooper.
