First-time feature director Gary Shore, who has also logged a lot of hours as a commercials director, certainly knows how to frame an attractive shot. But the movie never finds its own style or feels like more than a mashup of outtakes from "Thrones" and the entire Peter Jackson catalog. - Scott Foundas. Sleek super-hero vampires movies with high-end graphic visuals, sell well among boys and girls. This film brings a good theme and an emotional story about the infamous Vlad the Impaler aka Count Dracula, but the beginning monologue is very dull. Do you answer the call to fight to defend when facing impossible odds or do nothing, bow down and see it perish. Thats the tempting choice that fogs our judgements. Vampires are monsters of darkness and Dracula is the First of them and a great fallen king and warrior. He is the First coz he was the one who spread the darkness and created more monsters. What was the story of this man who was so desperate to protect all that he loved so dearly that he became responsible for this great sin? A great nation can make a deal and walk into the dark side to defeat other monsters but maybe its too great a price to pay even to defend all that you love and the future of your people. The threatening evils of the world has changed the good to become greater monsters themselves who can only consume everything. In the end, was it worth it losing your conscience? Whether you bite this film or not, the story is a classic. If there is a Part 2, I would love to see him fight with his nemesis Van Helsing.
