Luke Sader The Hollywood Reporter It boasts enough camp, skin and 15th century flashbacks of torment to make it fitting fodder for campus screens. Sep 24, 2004 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Shot stylishly on location in Romania, and its authentic locales are its strongest asset, but its trite framing story and stilted, colorless dialogue lend themselves to unintended humor. Rated: 2/5 Sep 9, 2004 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed The story is incredibly slow-paced with its often unexciting and lackluster "action" sequences... Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Jon Strickland L.A. Weekly It all adds up to pleasantly nonsensical mayhem. Sep 9, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Alternative take on the more historically proven side of Count Dracula that features too much medieval semantics and not enough creeps or gore. Forgettable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member the film is bogged down An impressive cast working with an interesting idea can sometimes pull off miracles,This isn?t one of them Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know what's scarier, the vampire or the acting. "bdum ch" Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Since I loved Bram Stokers Dracula so much, this just seemed an extension of that, albeit slower.More History/Folklore of Vlad Drakul that fascinates me so much, & a bit of interesting Romanian customs as well to keep me interested.An Amulet Necklace/Locket that was part of Dracula's Family, & some time travel by a English Girl that I never really understood completely make up the story.One of the 4 exchange students was a relative of Vlad's somehow & had visions.They are pursued by a secret society of Vlad Drakul followers, of which Billy Zane belongs, they are trying to get the necklace.One of the 4 Exchange Students is kidnapped by Vlad , he makes Love to her & Drinks her Blood,but it is the Time Traveling Middle English Beauty he is after.It becomes a quest to return the Amulet Locket to Vlads Tomb to rid the world of Vlad. If it weren't for the interesting Folklore/History that I seem to have a Passion for( that I can't explain to myself), this would be a lame Movie, but I enjoyed it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member With a title like 'Vlad' you can guess what's this one about... so, so movie. Saved, for me by the presence of Billy Zane and his charisma... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Ge tillbaks mina 1 timmar och 38 minuter av mitt liv, den får en halv stjärna för att man skrattade till det totalt värdelösa special effekterna som dyker upp då och då.
