Caleb B @RT44160761 Apr 2, 2025 The movie shows the "heroic" Ottoman Turks. The movie is very heavily one sided in showing the Ottomans as the heroes. Was Vlad the Impaler a hero, no not really, but he is a highly regarded figure in the area he once ruled. This film was a terrible watch. See more Lcnstkll T @Lcnstkll Jan 4, 2025 Very biased to the Turkish side, not accurate in any way. It depicts the murderous conquering Turks as the heroes and Vlad the Impaler as some evil villan, when in history, Vlad was a hero protecting his land and people from invaders. Absolutely a historical falicy, in every regard, Vlad fought to keep the Muslim plauge from his lands and is still regarded by many as a saint.

The Hunt For Vlad The Impaler or Defiler is a Turkish language period action film about 7 warriors who are set out to kill Vlad The Impaler. As a film, this was pretty well made, nicely shot with great period costumes. The battle scenes were done well enough, but needed more gore for maximum impact but that is easily covered by the cinematic experience you get. There is a nod to The Magnificent Seven, Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, Lord Of The Rings Trilogy in the scale it borrows that a bit for its story structure. The film does drag as a 2 hour epic a bit at times, but for the most part this is pretty decent for the genre. If you want to take the film seriously I would advise against watching this with the English overdubbing as the job on that was horrible and watch this in its native Turkish language with subtitles instead for maximum authenticity. It is what it is but doesn't take away from the movie as the acting, the scenes, the scenery and it doesn't shy away from things. I know people will hate on this but watch it fully with an open mind and understand the lore and everything else falls into place. See more Read all reviews
