“Dracula Untold thinks it has a scoop on how Dracula acquired his curse.
“Nothing in it, though, will come as news to anyone who’s seen Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 version, with its splashy prologue about Vlad the Impaler and his tragic bride plummeting from the battlements. This is that, for the length of a whole movie.
“The surprise? It’s really not so bad.
“Played here by Luke Evans, Dracula was already the hero of Coppola’s interpretation… the misunderstood champion of the Transylvanian people, whose arrangement to combat a looming Turkish invasion involves giving up his mortal soul.”
