Twisting around the classic story of Dracula, this film starts with Prince Vlad as a mere human who trades his soul to protect his kingdom from those nasty Turks. It's by no means a horror film and relishes in being a hokey action flick riddled with plotholes galore. It has flashes of being quite entertaining but seems to fall flat all too often to make it a worthwhile guilty pleasure. Visually the film is quite pleasing and Charles Dance is an absolute delight as he chews up any scene he's in. If you're open to the character of Count Dracula being neutered than you might find it more forgiving than I did.
