Dracula Untold (2014)

Dracula Untold: Best Fictional Vlad Dracula prequel story

[10/10 · 10 October 2014]

So i got back from screening and i have to say i am impressed. I waited so long for this movie to come out. I always wanted to see Luke Evans as Dracula. Since i saw his performance in F&F6 and No one lives.

The Plot has some really nice twists if you know the story about the real Vlad Dracula. The Story starts with some quick explaining of who vlad his and what he did so far. Vlad and a few of his soldiers are exploring a cave and get attacked by something, you can guess what attacks them ;P Vlad retruns to Castle Dracula and the Monk explains him that in the Mountain there lives an ancient Vampire. We get to know Vlads Family and the Movie cuts to a Party of Vlad. Sadly it gets interrupted by Hamza Bay i think his name was(Turks) The Sultan Mehemed the 2nd requieres 1000 Boys or 100 i don't remember for his Jannissaries Corp and he also wants his son. Hamza tells Vlad he has to do as the sultan commands cause Vlad is defense less. The Day comes when Vlad has to bring his son to the turks but at the last moment he decides to kill the turks and save his son. Now War will be at his Door. Vlad decides to seek out the vampire so he can give him strenght to defeat the Turks. The master Vampire explains Vlad that if he can resist drinking human blood for 3 days he will become human again if not he will be damned for ever. The Rest you should better watch for yourself

The Movie is shot beautifully and the locations look awesome even if it has some CGI in it. The most thing i liked was Vlads Armor with the Dragon on it.

So you are a die Hard Dracula fan and watched almost every Drac movie outthere and you are fascinated about Vlad Dracula The Impaler you should watch this Movie ASAP. I don't know why this Movie gets so much hate.

PS. give me a sequel anytime but only if Luke evans plays Dracula again:D

Sorry for my bad English and have fun with Dracula Untold

[10/10 · 9 January 2014]

The first times is saw Nightmare before Christmas i was like 5 years old and i remember being it my favorite movie. Now it was almost 15 years when i last watched it. I have to Say i still like it.

In the midst of the Forest he finds Trees with symbols on it and he catches interest in the tree that has a Christmas tree on it. So he opens the Door and he finds himself in Christmas Town. At the moment of Jacks arrival the preparations for Christmas have begun in top speed. Jack is amazed how it all looks. When Jack returns back in Halloween Town he decide to make also Christmas Preparations and to kidnap Santa Clause. But we will soon discover that it will end in disaster. 10 out of 10 Points really good Movie

Grave Encounters (2011)

Grave Encounters beats Paranormal Activity

[10/10 · 6 January 2014]

When i first heard of this Movie Grave Encounter, i thought it would be some crappy low-budget movie like the Asylum movies ala The Haunting of Whaley House etc. Finally i read some reviews and some impressions about GE and decided to buy it on Blu-Ray. I remember watching it at about 2 AM in the morning. I have to see this Movie made me almost fall of the Chair. My Home Cinema was all turned up when there was the Girl standing in the Corner. Then when she turned and screamed. I was like Oh my f.... God

This Movie is about Lance Preston (Sean Rogerson) and his Crew which are Stars on a Paranormal Reality TV-Show like Ghost Adventures. They Decide to make an Episode of the Series in the Collingwood Asylum. For Years people mentioned Paranormal Activities around the Asylum. The GE Team doesn't really believe in Ghosts or anything they just want to make easy Money. But soon in the Night they will witness something that they will never see or will ever be able to talk about. The Building is cursed and it seems also as if it was alive. Rooms Change, the Exit Door leads to another Hallway and much more.

You need to watch this Movie with an open Mind and you will have a good Time.

a perfect 10 out of 10.

Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)

Paranormal Activity 3 takes you to the Origins

[8/10 · 4 January 2014]

Paranormal Activity 3 is a Prequel to Paranormal Activity 1 and 2. I was really surprised with this Movie. I thought this one was going to be lame. But it didn't,it has some very good scares in it.My favorite one that gave me chills down my spine was when the babysitter girl was reading her book and Toby was standing directly behind her and then disappeared. The coolest part of the Movie is that they used all the techniques that were used in the old times. We learn much about why Kristy and Katey are chosen by the demon and how it comes to the events of PA 1 and 2. I think this was one of the best horror Prequels that i have ever seen. But for me to have it a 10 out of 10 it would have to keep me scared and interested through the whole movie like The Conjuring or Insidious.

Breaking Bad (2008–2013)

The Best TV-Series there is and the best there ever Will be. Heisenberg 4ever

[10/10 · 20 November 2013]

This Show ...... i heard about it circa 2 Months ago and everyone told me i should watch this. Well I'm so Happy that i did :D Breaking bad Is by far the best TV-Series in storytelling,Drama lets say everything. The 1st Season was a bit boring, but starting the 2nd Season it got every episode i watched better. The Story is about a family man and chemistry teacher called Walter White. One Day he finds out that he has i think Lung cancer, and that he will die and he needs a treatment. The big Problem is that Mr. White doesn't have the Money to pay for it. So he asks his former Student Jesse if he would cock meth with him. His Objective is to make money to care for his family and pay for his lung cancer treatment. As the Seasons go on Walter gets more ruthless and to a giant criminal mastermind ( he always has a plan). He goes on to build a big Drug Empire. In Season 5 we see this whole Empire breakdown as Walts brother in-law, a DEA agent called Hank finds out that he is the man who he has been searching for so long. I really fell in Love with this show and it's very hard to let it go. The good thing is i never had to wait 1 week or more to know how the Story continues. So people go and watch this series it's a piece of TV show history that will never die. you will not regret this

Breaking Bad 10 out of 10

Dracula (2013–2014)

The best Dracula experience after The true story of Dracula

[10/10 · 9 November 2013]

I have read many books about Vlad III Wallachia also called Vlad Tzepesh aka Dracula son of the Dragon since i was a little Kid.

I have to say this is one of the best Dracula of all time for me.

its true it changes a lot of bram stokers Dracula but i like it very much

The Series starts in Romania, in a tomb and we see 2 shadowy Figures lower themself in it. In the Middle of the room a coffin. the 1st figure (Van Helsing) starts working on the coffin to see if someone is inside. At the same time his Partner finds some Diamonds beside the coffin and claims that they are rich. Van Helsing walks up on him and slits his throat open and puts him above the coffin so that the blood can get to Dracula. The Series then switches ten years later.

We learn that Dracula goes undercover by the Name of Alexander Greyson an American industrialist. He lives in Carfax Abbey whit his servant Renfield. In the 1st 3 Episode we learn that Dracula is obsessed whit destroying the order of the Dragon. Which killed his beloved Illona.( I think that is even the real name of the wife of VLAD III Illona Szeleky) In this operation he gets helped by Dr. Abraham Van Helsing ( yes the vampire hunter works with him :) )

I really liked it that they have put many things in this Movie like The Order of the Dragon. I don't remember to have ever heard of the dragon order in any other Dracula Film apart from the Awful VLAD (2003) movie.

To any who is interested in Vlad the Impaler and Vampire Folklore should watch this. I don't get why many ppl hate this. I have watched almost every single Vampire movie out there (twilight i haven't seen that and i never will :P) and this is one of the best i have seen.

If they go for a second season i hope to see Vlads Brother Radu as a Villain or even the Blood Countess Erzebeth Bathory that would be cool.

Go and support this Series really and this comes from a hardcore Horror Fan since 20 years.
