Exclamation Vlad - A Must See for Vampire Fans

I was lucky enough to catch this film at a screening in Los Angeles and enjoyed it immensely. What I liked most was the way the film blends all the classic elements in a traditional vampire film, but remains unique in its approach. Rather than relying on blood and gore, it portrays Vlad the Impaler as more than a monster. We’re shown glimpses of his past and quickly empathize with his pain, even as we’re terrified by his brutality.

The love stories woven into the film and the pace at which it’s told keep you emotionally invested and on the edge of your seat. The tone and feel of romance, aided by the beautiful backdrop of the Carpathian mountains, is undeniable and moving.

The film carefully balances love and anguish while merging past and present worlds. Even though it’s set in modern day, the film shows how we as people face the same struggles throughout our history. Vlad is incredibly well thought out and acted, and should be enjoyable to a wide range of people. The nudity and violence in the film is done with taste and purpose and I’d recommend this film to anyone that wants a romantic saga about one of the world’s most notorious monsters. :eek:

We'll fill up the cup with the blood of his enemies and have a drink to the good King Vlad!

Haha definitely. This movie's a little different in that it shows Vlad's life and doesn't just portray him as a monster. It's pretty interesting. I learned a couple things..

Hmm i think i saw a movie like this a while ago. I think it was on TNT or something but it wasnt about him being a vampire or anything. It was about Vlad going to war and getting killed than getting brought back to life or something. It might be the one your talking about but im not sure

It sounds similar, but this movie's still in theatres so I doubt it was on TV. I think it comes out on DVD soon though, so who knows.

I saw a trailor for this movie last week, I would love to see a movie made depicting his "real" life. But I will see this film since I love to see things about Vlad Tepes

It was a good movie, wasn't it. I own it on DVD. It was released on DVD a while ago now in Australia? Is it still not released in the U.S ?
