Day 12 of my Halloween Film Fest. I can't believe it's been 4 years since I first saw this exciting and spectacular film in the theater's. It still is exciting and thrilling as it was 4 years ago when I first saw it!
There have been so many films made with the most famous vampire of all time as its central character, the one and only Dracula. This wonderfully thrilling film from Gary Shore doesn't disappoint in any way and gives us a new and interesting take on the legend with bits of real history put in.
The basic premise is that Vlad is put into a no-win situation when the ruler of the Turks demands that Prince Vlad of Transylvania give up 3000 of his loyal subjects first born sons including his own for his army. Vlad decides to make a deal with the devil (so-to-speak) and the rest of the story is the legend we all know and love, to become the most feared creature on Earth in order to beat the Turks and save his own kingdom.
This is a classic tale of good and evil and the price paid for what seem to be on the surface, choices made from good intentions. This is a classic horror/adventure film of the best kind! I enjoyed it the first time I saw it on the big screen and this time around I fell in love with it all over again!
Luke Evans brings the performance of his career to the role of Vlad/Dracula and the rest of the ensemble surround him with excellent performances!
I highly recommend this film if you haven't seen it yet! It's a fun and scary adventure for the adventurous at heart!
