| How excited (or not) I am to see this movie... |
|
I was lucky enough to catch this film at a screening in Los Angeles and enjoyed it immensely. What I liked most was the way the film blends all the classic elements in a traditional vampire film, but remains unique in its approach. Rather than relying on blood and gore, it portrays Vlad the Impaler as more than a monster. Were shown glimpses of his past and quickly empathize with his pain, even as were terrified by his brutality.
The love stories woven into the film and the pace at which its told keep you emotionally invested and on the edge of your seat. The tone and feel of romance, aided by the beautiful backdrop of the Carpathian mountains, is undeniable and moving.
The film carefully balances love and anguish while merging past and present worlds. Even though its set in modern day, the film shows how we as people face the same struggles throughout our history. Vlad is incredibly well thought out and acted, and should be enjoyable to a wide range of people. The nudity and violence in the film is done with taste and purpose and Id recommend this film to anyone that wants a romantic saga about one of the worlds most notorious monsters.
