The plot of the movie is when the famous Romania prince named Vlad Dracula (Gary Oldman), who loses his love (Winona Ryder) and makes a pact with the Devil for revenge. He is cursed, which causes him have to feed on blood to give him eternal life. After seeing a photo of a woman that looks like his love, he then realized its her, he proceeds to travel to England to bring her back. He finds it is much harder than he thinks when he’s hunted down by Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins).
