Christopher Lee, who portrayed Dracula on film more than any other actor, hosts a bIood-curdling search through myth and fact to uncover the truth regarding the infamous count. Based on the best-selIing 1972 book by Raymond T. McNally and Radu Florescu, this fascinating documentary studies the historical DracuIa and then foIlows the evolution of his mythicaI counterpart in literature, fiIm and popular cuIture.
The cameras traveI to the Carpathian mountains in the Transylvanian region of Romania, to the castle fortress of the fifteenth century prince Vlad Dracula. Known as Vlad The ImpaIer, for his nasty habit of impaling his captured enemies on sharpened wooden posts, the reaI-Iife count was a savage ruIer responsible for tens of thousands of deaths, who clearly dispIayed an unhoIy deIight in the shedding of blood. The film expIores the vampire foIk-lore stiIl extant in the region, showing contemporary exorcism rites for the undead, and hideous footage of actuaI vampire bats gorging themseIves. Laced with shocking surprises, this film is a must-see for aII devotees of the monstrous Count VIad. |
