Whether or not one believes vampires ever existed, the blood-curdling fact is that in 15th Century Romania, Vlad Drakul – or Vlad the Impaler as he was known - launched a reign of terror so horrific, literally skewering countless victims through the body and skull, that he is viewed by many as the source of the vampire 'myth.' Now four international graduate students, at the behest of a Bucharest professor (Brad Dourif), embark on a journey to enter the draconian heart of Vlad Drakul's dark past. As suspected by their Romanian guide (Billy Zane), one of the students secretly carries the fabled necklace once buried in Vlad's tomb, possessed of an evil so powerful it transcends time and space. Warning to all: Sometimes it's best to let sleeping wolves lie, or discover, too late ... there are things worse than death. -- © Quantum Entertainment [More]

Reviews for Vlad
It boasts enough camp, skin and 15th century flashbacks of torment to make it fitting fodder for campus screens.
The horror aspects are dark and hard-hitting without being gratuitous.
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.
