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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

TIME Magazine

[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.

The Dissolve

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

Rated: 1.5/5

Cinema Crazed

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

Deep Focus Review

The film’s attempts to make its subject’s mass murderer a heroic, tragic figure succeed only in a misapplication of style and intent.

Rated: 1.5/4

Dr. Erin C I'm perplexed why this movie has been rated so poorly. I thought the story was told quite well. The acting was great, no problems with the writing or dialog, and the special effects were cool. Overall, a well done movie. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review D D Not sure why it scored so low I really enjoyed it. I would suggest watching it yourself and forming your own opinion. Everyone I’ve recommend it to has come back and asked me if I think there will be a sequel (I really hope so one day) Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review Laura P This movie is underrated. The dramatic turn given to the character of Dracula is very good, the effects and scenery are spectacular and so are the performances. Luke Evans is superb in the role. I'm not the only one who's been waiting ten years for a second part or sequel. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review William S Hugely underrated movie. Well worth watching and definitely worth a sequel. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Phil S Typischer Action Movie mit Spezial Effects die über eine mittelmäßige, unsinnige Handlung hinwegtäuschen sollen. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Ja J A good movie. The screen lighting was not too dark. It has love, hurt and revenge all one. Good teaser at the end. Can't wait for the sequel. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
