Here's another take on the legend of Vlad III a.k.a. Vlad Dracula, prince of Romania during the late Fifteenth century. Luckily, this flick is not the regular vampire stuff, but an effort to partly cover Vlad's biography and partly to make another plot out of this infamous prince's actions in history. I must say that for being an adapted release aimed at television, this flick does pretty OK. Too often flicks which are aimed at television release only, become pretty poor due to low budgets in combination with wet director dreams. Here, they've somehow managed to pull all things pretty well together and it doesn't really feel as though it really is a super-B-flick.
The actors' performance is generally OK, nothing that spoils it that is. For the plot and the development of it, those who are interested and have studied Vlad III might wrinkle their eyebrows a bit now and then, as the chronology skips a little now and then. All in all, it's an OK release and I'm happy to see a piece which is actually trying to cover more of the real Vlad III, compared to the more classic two-holes-in-the-neck vampire flicks which there are too many of already. 5/10 - an OK grade that is, you won't spoil your time completely and the flick is neat to kill some time with.
