Vlad: La maldición de Drácula

i will be fair here and say that i didn't watch the whole movie.the reason is i found it way too slow and boring,plus it just looked too low budget.low budget isn't always a bad thing,when the rest of the movie is good.sometimes you don't even notice the budget.for me that is not the case with this movie.i have heard of some of the actors in this movie,and they've done some good work in the past.but in tis movie,it just seemed like no one wanted to be there.this is just my opinion and i could be wrong,but that's how i saw things.anyway,the bottom line is,from what i saw,this movie wasn't going anywhere fast.i give Vlad a 3/10

I read a couple of the other reviews of this movie and didn't think that most of them were fair. I really think this was just an average movie, not a good or bad movie, just average.

I watch a lot of movies and love anything about vampires, but this movie didn't really do it for me. There was a lot of information about Vlad, but there wasn't a whole lot of info about vampires. Without giving anything away, I'll just say that the causes are Vlad's vampirism were nothing you haven't heard before if you've seen more than one vampire movie. With all the build up about Vlad, I was hoping for a more original plot. However, I don't think that because the movie failed to be original that it should count against it, I just think it shouldn't be praised for it either.

Besides the plot, the movies did have a pretty good production value. I'd say that it was a bit better than a made-for-TV movie but obviously not a big budget film. Just because it's an independent movie doesn't mean that its great. Independent companies put out plenty of bad movies, but this falls somewhere in-between.

I wouldn't say this movie is worth watching, but I don't regret watching it either.

I've read other people's comments and I'm surprised that a couple had so many problems with this movie. Vlad is the perfect mixture of historical fact and Romanian myth. It takes the whole vampire myth and returns it to it's rightful owner. Vlad Tepes was the basis of Stoker's Dracula and the vampire myth started in Romania and it's surrounding countries. I really liked how this movie didn't have the cinematic bloodsucker that we are all too used to, but instead had a tortured spirit that was doomed to wander the earth. The photography and locations are impressive (shot in the Carpathians) and the characters are believable. I'd definitely recommend this intelligent vampire story to anyone who is a genre fan, into historical pieces, or even just needs something to watch on a Friday night. I think that anyone who comes into this movie looking to see it for what it is, not some hack and slash horror film but a look into the historical Vlad mixed with a modern day adventure element, will enjoy the movie.

Well, this is one movie that in my opinion really sucked. It could have had all the potential of being great, but instead it turned out to be everything else but. The acting wasn't terrible, but the story was. At least the cutting and the way in which the story proceeded.

A lot of side stories were never followed up, and I can think of a thousand other things that would have been much more relevant to the story that they could have included in this movie. I like, or rather love, a good movie about Vlad, Dracula or vampires, but in this case I was really disappointed. Vlad wasn't even scary.

This could have been a good movie, but the script totally f**ked it up. The love affair between Justin and that old-english dead babe was totally uncalled for and just felt unnecessary. A lot of things didn't make sense at all and... well, I don't know what I'm saying anymore.

Oh yeah, one more thing: how cool is it to have the main villain (and in this case it is goddamn DRACULA) strangling his victims??? Not cool at all. This definitely made Vlad seem weaker than he really should be.

Yeah yeah. The movie sucked. So be it.

I just laugh when you have people who want to see the same old vampire movie.Familiarity seems to be the reason, for if its good .The avoidance of something new or different for example:Put a bunch of people in a room and show them the movie vlad then show them hellboy.When you play vlad people will start to exit the room because there expectation is that of what they have seen in the past.Then play hellboy and you will have very little exiting the room because it fills the expectations of the past.Vlad,the movie explains the legend of Dracula and how it was started.But see, that is real information, versus a dark figure who bites the neck of everyone in its path,which one do you think will win out?Vlad is good movie and deserved more attention that it received.
