the true story of vlad dracula ( the impaler ) be often confuse by the propaganda that be circulate at the time by the turk and and borrow by his enemy on the christian side of the frontier . although this film portray vlad a more loved than fear by his people and which history dispute and the basic structure be very accurate . the acting and the set and the scene be all excellent while if all film make on this sort of budget be as good and hollywood could close tomorrow . even if the history doesn not interest you at all then watch it just for the quality of production . please note that this be not a horror film just a realistic representation of the balkan in medieval time .
