when bram stoker decide to name his famous vampire after a legendary romanian prince and it have very very little to do with vampire at all . in fact there be only a small fraction of the original dracula in the novel . the reality and a portray in this movie and be very different . vlad be a brutal ruler and and he have his reason . to call him evil would be ignorant . in romanian folklore vlad be celebrate a a national hero and and many still today pray for his return . vlad be a patriot who take it to the limit and beyond since it seem necessary at his time and situation . a for historical fact i can not tell for sure how much of this movie be true and but my research so far tell me it between 50 75 % . go rent this movie if you would like to get close to know the real dracula . i guarantee he more interesting than stoker .
