What to Know

Critics Consensus

Neither awful enough to suck nor sharp enough to bite, Dracula Untold misses the point of its iconic character's deathless appeal.

Richard Corliss TIME Magazine 10/16/2014
[Evans] carries Untold by admirably fulfilling the two essential functions of a period-movie hero: to enunciate comic-book dialogue with Shakespearean authority and to look great with his shirt off. Go to Full Review

By throwing out the traditional vampire conflict, Dracula Untold loses its intrinsic (and prurient) appeal without gaining anything valuable in the process. Go to Full Review

Jesus M. @WolfDarius90 Dec 7 I loved it, it’s a movie that I really enjoy watching that shows you the story of Dracula from the human side of the count. So good i had to get it for my blue-ray collection See more Alexandros M Nov 2 It was a great movie but it felt a little rushed. I wish it was longer and I wish there was a second movie. See more tommy J Oct 31 Vlad the impaler!! Awesome vampire movie! I dont see how anyone could not love it See more Hughe J @Hughe Oct 30 Dracula Untold was released in theatres in 2014 and stars Luke Evans as Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Tepes) and Charles Dance as sort of the Master Vampire. It's set in the 15th century and Evans is the ruler of Wallachia. The Turkish army invades Transylvania demanding tribute including his son. Evans refuses and seeks the master vampire's help who had earlier killed some of his best soldiers. Dance offers Vlad his blood which will give him the power of a vampire, but he can return to normal if he doesn't drink any human blood. Vlad uses his new abilities to turn a number of his soldiers into vampires and they defeat the Turks. But when his soldiers want to attack the villagers and his son he allows the sunlight to destroy them. The movie ends with Vlad in present day being watched by the master vampire. Luke Evans gave a solid performance, the CGI was good, and I liked the dark atmosphere. I think an 'R' rating would have helped but overall it was a decent Dracula movie and certainly worth a watch. See more Mary L Oct 8 There have been so many tellings of Dracula/ vampires and this one is actually enjoyable. See more andrea c Oct 6 Rivisitazione dark della nascita di Dracula, in cui oltre ad una sceneggiatura non particolarmente brillante, anche la regia non brilla per qualità. Al di fuori della buona scelta di Luke Evans come protagonista, c'è davvero poco da salvare se non qualche sequenza di azione che pur senza grande logica riesce ad essere discretamente soddisfacente per la sua spettacolarità. Anche il finale lascia estremamente perplessi, forse nel tentativo di lasciare uno spiraglio per un eventuale sequel, o forse nuovamente per la scarda qualità della sceneggiatura. Comunque per gli amanti del genere, 90 minuti di azione da pop corn. See more Read all reviews
