I’ve seen that movie, “Dracula Untold”, several times - quite good.

I liked that movie. I love anything Dracula, especially when they do something new.
Have you seen Dracula 2000?
A somewhat cheesy late 90s horror film that feels like Scream more than Bram Stoker, but has a great performance by Christopher Plummer as Van Helsing and Gerard Butler as Dracula.
The most innovative idea in the film is that Dracula is actually Judas Iscariot, forced to walk the Earth as an undead for betraying Jesus. It also explains why crosses and holy water damage him.
It has a B movie feel, but I always thought that twist was unique.

I wonder if Raymond in the source book covers Vlad’s relationship with the Ottomans prior to these events (such as how, after his father and brother were murdered, Vlad attempted to regain control of Wallachia with Ottoman support).

Ought to give Bone Tomahawk a watch if you like horror. Free on Tubi. It’s probably the best horror movie I’ve seen in a good while.

"I love anything Dracula, especially when they do something new."
Recently read a news blip about a movie coming out in August. It's called "Last Voyage of the Demeter."
Last Voyage of the Demeter
I'm at the tail-end of a book by Doug Lamoreax called "Dracula's Demeter." The book isn't connected to the movie. According to Wikipedia, the movie "is an adaptation of 'The Captain's Log', a chapter from the 1897 Bram Stoker novel Dracula."

Tis a pity he couldn’t put the Sultan and all his princes’ heads on pikes.

I call it horror because of the scene where David Arquette is butchered. Other than that, it’s a good Western.

Except for nickel-plated guns. That will ruin a western.

Have you seen the 70s PBS version with Louis Jourdan as the count?
Very true to the book.

And nothing has changed in 600 years. Muslims still demand to cut 3700 infidels in half and muslims wage war constantly around the world.
