Here's one I watched so you don't have to: DARK PRINCE: THE TRUE STORY OF DRACULA, a US TV movie from 2000 shot in Romania with a local supporting cast to add to the authenticity. Rudolf Martin plays 'Vlad Dracula', a warlord who stands up against the invading Turkish hordes and soon becomes renowned for his sheer savagery on the battlefield and beyond it. It's a great story for a film but sadly this is a television movie through and through, so despite a handful of bloody moments it's never really as sadistic as it could be. It's also very cheap looking, dodgily acted and mired in the shaky-cam that always seems to crop up in these movies from the 2000s. Of course huge liberties are taken with history and some of the costumes are far-out. Peter Weller and Roger Daltrey (!) both show up in support. Skip it.
