Luke Sader The Hollywood Reporter 09/24/2004
It boasts enough camp, skin and 15th century flashbacks of torment to make it fitting fodder for campus screens. Go to Full Review

2/5
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. Go to Full Review
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 04/29/2009
The story is incredibly slow-paced with its often unexciting and lackluster "action" sequences... Go to Full Review
Jon Strickland L.A. Weekly 09/09/2004
It all adds up to pleasantly nonsensical mayhem. Go to Full Review

06/29/2018 Alternative take on the more historically proven side of Count Dracula that features too much medieval semantics and not enough creeps or gore. Forgettable. See more 04/13/2012 the film is bogged down An impressive cast working with an interesting idea can sometimes pull off miracles,This isn?t one of them See more 07/22/2011 I don't know what's scarier, the vampire or the acting. "bdum ch" See more 06/19/2011 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. See more 03/13/2011 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... See more 10/12/2010 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.
