small spoiler alert . good movie . very good movie . and i be surprise to say that myself and because i be not a big fan of vampire and the sound of the director name deran serafian usually mean bad news . most of his film be below average action movie like death warrant and gunman . this be one of his first film and maybe he should have continue make horror movie instead of action . this movie really fascinate me . good accomplishment and see no famous actor or big budget be involve . it really be the story that keep you focus . especially fan of the original dracula myth will be satisfy . sarafian light up another aspect of the famous bram stoker story and remain rather loyal and true to the truth . it explain the life of the roemenian count dracula and how he scar the turkish army away by spear dead corps in front of his castle . of course and that where the reality and the base on a true story stop . the blood drinking and stuff all be invent by bram stoker . in this movie and the count ( vlad teppish ) emigrate to the usa and seduces ton of woman . and theyre all pretty girl and i will give him that . overall and good acting by unknown face and enough blood and gore to satisfy the more morbid horror fan and an interesting storyline . this film be really unknown and it be hide on the dark shelf at my local videostore . but it certainly be worth clean up the dust on the cover and put it in the vcr . heck and it a lot good than the famous nicole kidman movie with the same title . these two film have nothing else in common and but i blame that movie for steal the attention away from this nice little picture . check it out . my humble opinion on to die for equal 8 . 5/10 .
