Review.

I believe that if you come in to this movie expecting something else besides fun you won't like it, but if you want to have a good time with some vampires and medieval sword fights and battle then you've come to the right Dracula movie.

The movie opens with Vlads son narrating about his father at a young age when the turks took him away from his father to prepare him for battle. He became known as Vlad the impeller who with his fierce skill scared his enemy's back to their land.

The film revolves around Vlad who wants to live in his kingdom in peace. But peace comes at a price when the turk leader comes at his door and demand one thousand boys for their army like they did when Vlad was a child. He refuses this offer and chooses to gain power to destroy his enemies and protect his family,. He has only three days to defeat his enemies, resist the thirst for blood and save his kingdom.

The atmosphere is right, it feels like a dark medieval tale and a war film. The first appearance of the vampires is short but cool and the best part is that creepy is when Vlad meets the master vampire on the top of the cave to gain the power of a vampire. The performances are all out for this film with the actors having fun in their roles.

Earlier this year their was another film based on a classic Universal monster called I. Frankenstein and it had terrible cgi and was very boring. The story here in Dracula Untold though is effective to it's points that sometimes to do good we must do bad and unleash the monster within us.

Dracula Untold is a fun effective film with better cg and a story with a good origin in the legend of darkness and blood known as Dracula. I give Dracula Untold a five out of five.
