In 15th-century Transylvania, Vlad III (Luke Evans), prince of Wallachia, is known as a just ruler. With his beloved wife, Mirena (Sarah Gadon), Vlad has brokered a prolonged period of peace and ensured that his people are protected, especially from the Ottoman Empire. However, when Sultan Mehmed II (Dominic Cooper) demands 1,000 of the country's boys, including Vlad's son, for his army, Vlad makes a deal with a monster that will enable him to defeat the Turks -- but cost him his humanity.

Critics Consensus

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

[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.

1.5/5

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

Most of the time, I found myself feeling like I was waiting for a turn with the gaming controls.

A very good re-imagining of the Dracula tale, one carried by the enthusiastic performance by Luke Evans.

Its rewatchable and very entertaining. Yeah its a bit rushed at times but the aura and appeal of Vlad is unmistakably grand. Mirena is beautiful and did a great job acting, so did the Turk army. No way it deserves 26% from critics.

First of all, critics who have it a rotten score rather than fresh- you’re all a bunch of idiots. This movie isn’t going to win any awards but the acting and fight scenes were legit. Villain could have been a lot better but there’s no way this deserves less than a 3 or 4 out of 5. Very watchable.

I love this story of Dracula. They left such an opening for a sequel at the end and I wish so very much they would make it!! I believe it would get the amount of viewers that Hollywood would be looking for too!

I don’t get the hate for Dracula Untold. Luke Evans brings real weight to Vlad, making him tragic, conflicted, and believable. The film balances action, romance, and gothic atmosphere without ever feeling sluggish. I found myself genuinely invested in his choices, the stakes, and the consequences. It’s not perfect, but it’s entertaining, emotionally engaging, and visually striking. A solid, compelling take on Dracula that leans into humanity over cheap scares. I don’t understand why people dismiss it so quickly.
