Like I, Frankenstein before it, Dracula Untold seeks to reinvent one of cinema's most famous horror creations. One part history lesson to several parts Hollywood spectacle, it stars Luke Evans (No One Lives, The Hobbit series) as Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, the Transylvanian who's believed to have inspired Bram Stoker's fictional fanged fiend. Desperate to save his land from invading Turkish baddie Dominic Cooper, who's seeking soldiers for his child army, Evans turns to the dark side, personified by a heavily latexed Charles Dance. But with great power comes not only great responsibility, but also fangs, bloodlust and a side order of CGI bats. Mildly entertaining without offering any great quality, the movie is a half-decent action showcase for the talented Evans, the fight scenes are OK, and there is enough cheese and ham to fill a tasty sandwich.
