Plot: Trained by the Sultan's Janissaries to become a fearless warrior, Vlad Tepes--or Vlad the Impaler--now maintains a frail peace with the Turks, ruling peacefully over fifteenth-century Transylvania. However, when the former brother-in-arms, Sultan Mehmed II, demands one thousand boys--including Vlad's only son, Ingeras--as soldiers for the Turkish Army, the prince will have no other choice but to rebel. In despair, Vlad reluctantly makes a pact with the abominable but all-powerful creature of the dark Broken Tooth Mountain to destroy his enemies; but now, an even greater challenge awaits. Will Vlad the Vampire lose his soul to save his kingdom?
Alternative Plot: In 15th-century Transylvania, Vlad III (Luke Evans), prince of Wallachia, is known as a just ruler. With his beloved wife, Mirena (Sarah Gadon), Vlad has brokered a prolonged period of peace and ensured that his people are protected, especially from the Ottoman Empire. However, when Sultan Mehmed II (Dominic Cooper) demands 1,000 of the country's boys, including Vlad's son, for his army, Vlad makes a deal with a monster that will enable him to defeat the Turks -- but cost him his humanity.
