DRACULA UNTOLD-2014-After an encounter with
a vampire in a cave, Vlad The Impaler Jr.(Luke Evans) reigns over his
peaceful kingdom until the Turkish sultan demands 100 boys for his
army (Vlad's dad had handed him over to the Turks in a compromise
when he was young). In a new compromise the sultan makes Vlad his new
chief but forces him to hand over his son Vlad 3. Instead dad kills
the party that comes to get his son. To save his
kingdom Vlad drinks the blood of the cave vampire (Charles Dance) and
receives great power (and great night vision) and defeats the Turkish
horde all by himself (some bats help too). However he is told if he
can go for three days without drinking blood he will return to normal,
otherwise more blood drinking will cause him to remain a vampire
forever. Despite his best efforts, when his wife dies and his son is
taken prisoner he drinks his wife's blood and becomes a full fledged
vampire. He turns some friends into vampires too and they destroy The
Turks. Later they all stand in the sun and die. In the modern day
Vlad is still alive for some reason and seems to meet his long lost
lover but the cave vampire is there as well.
Yeah, like there was
going to be a sequel to this routine bloody ridiculous CGI laden
horror....
The director Irish born Gary Shore had previously done
corporation shorts.
