If you're looking for a vampire flick, you're in the wrong spot. This is more of a historical account of the "special forces" the Sultan sent to take out Vlad the Impaler. I use the term historical loosely. Did this group of warriors exist, yes, but the historical accuracy of how everything happened, good vs. Bad, is a little off-kilter and heavily biased towards this being from the Turkish point of view. I really enjoyed that it was from the point of the old beliefs as well, not what modern cultures believe.
Don't get me wrong though, it was definitely entertaining, the cinematography was very nicely done, the soundtrack was fantastic, the costuming fantastic, and the mostly short battle scenes were well done. Now, if they could just do something about the voice-over actors. You can see the fantastic acting, but the voice-over does it no justice. If you can find this with English subtitles, then watch it in Turkish... SO much better.
