Warning: Spoilers
This is an incomplete story of Vlad the Impaler. It starts in childhood and jumps to the end. It reminds me of the Monty Python skit, "The Death of Mary Queen of Scots." A group called "The Deliler" is sent out from the Ottoman Empire to go against Vlad. Deliler is movie speak for "The Magnificent Seven" complete with swagger, dramatic music, and wings. Yes, one wore large black wings that extended up high. He had to watch out for low branches.

The film is told from the Turkish point of view and Vlad, so Vlad was not a hero who protects his land for the Pope. The characters were poorly developed so the story had no hook. At one time it was almost a love story, but that ailed to take root. The dialogue was a poor attempt to be philosophical.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
