In 15th-century Transylvania, Vlad III (Luke Evans), prince of Wallachia, is known as a just ruler. With his beloved wife, Mirena (Sarah Gadon), Vlad has brokered a prolonged period of peace and ensured that his people are protected, especially from the Ottoman Empire. However, when Sultan Mehmed II (Dominic Cooper) demands 1,000 of the country's boys, including Vlad's son, for his army, Vlad makes a deal with a monster that will enable him to defeat the Turks -- but cost him his humanity.

Critics Consensus

Neither awful enough to suck nor sharp enough to bite, Dracula Untold misses the point of its iconic character's deathless appeal.

[Evans] carries Untold by admirably fulfilling the two essential functions of a period-movie hero: to enunciate comic-book dialogue with Shakespearean authority and to look great with his shirt off.

1.5/5

By throwing out the traditional vampire conflict, Dracula Untold loses its intrinsic (and prurient) appeal without gaining anything valuable in the process.

Most of the time, I found myself feeling like I was waiting for a turn with the gaming controls.

A very good re-imagining of the Dracula tale, one carried by the enthusiastic performance by Luke Evans.

I actually would more give it a 4/5 but this movie is unfairly panned in my book. It could have focused more on the intrinsic dilemma of the character that it sacrifices some of the horror roots for but I really liked it a lot. Its a good action movie with a horror aesthetic and some fun period piece popcorn (Comic-y dialogue, medieval grunge, and shirtless eye candy.)

"Dracula Untold is the best movie I have ever watched. I really loved it from start to finish. The main actor was absolutely amazing and gave a powerful and emotional performance. The story, action, and visuals all worked perfectly together. It kept me fully engaged the whole time. Definitely one of my all-time favorites!"

I'm shocked at how low this movie scored. I thought this movie was amazing! It completely encapsulated the intrigue and menace of Count Dracula, and the story, action, and visuals of the movie were incredible. I definitely recommend this for action, fantasy, horror, and medieval fans!
