Summary
Dracula: The Impaler (2013) is an American horror thriller directed by Derek Hockenbrough. The film centers around seven high-school friends who travel to Europe, kicking off their trip at Vlad the Impaler's historic castle. The movie draws inspiration from the legend of Vlad the Impaler, who is believed to have sold his soul to the devil five centuries ago. However, the plot description provided by TMDB suggests that the film may not strictly adhere to traditional vampire lore but rather uses the legend as a backdrop for a horror-thriller involving a supernatural ritual.
