Four foreign exchange students retrace a journey taken by Vlad the Impaler, the infamous Transylvania prince known as Dracula, through the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. They carry with them a powerful amulet– rumored to have been stolen from Vlad’s tomb– that allows them to transcend time and witness the 15th century barbarism that molded a young orphan into one of the most feared despots in medieval Europe. At their heels is the monster himself, determined to seize the amulet and resume his reign of terror. The film stars Billy Zane (Titanic), Brad Dourif (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, "Deadwood"), Paul Popowich ("Dark Angel"), and Kam Heskin (Catch Me If You Can).
