Dracula Untold - Blu-ray Fantasy 2014 PG-13
Dracula Untold was actually released in 2014, not 2016. Directed by Gary Shore, this dark fantasy action film serves as an origin story for its titular character, Count Dracula. Portrayed by Luke Evans, the movie merges historical elements with vampire mythology, as it draws inspiration from both the fictional Dracula by Bram Stoker and the real-life figure Vlad the Impaler.
The narrative follows Vlad III (Evans), a vampire who makes a deal to save his family and kingdom from a menacing Ottoman army. This decision comes at a great personal cost, as he gains immense power but also a cursed thirst for blood.
The movie is categorized as an action, drama, and fantasy, blending epic battle scenes with supernatural horror. Dracula Untold is rated PG-13, due to its intense sequences of warfare, vampire attacks, and a somewhat dark thematic content. Despite mixed reviews, Evan's portrayal as Dracula and the film's visual style were generally well-received.
