The premise

A 19th century vampire stalks a more powerful vampire lord in his quest to gain revenge over the death of his mistress. In his search for the vampire lord in Eastern Europe he kills many of his servants and fellow vampires while cursing another to vampirism as well.

Horror Vault's take

Set against the shadowy backdrop of 19th-century Eastern Europe, this gothic vampire tale follows a brooding bloodsucker consumed by vengeance — not against humanity, but against one of his own kind. Tracking a powerful vampire lord through a trail of servants and lesser creatures, he cuts a deadly path toward his ultimate quarry. It's a darker, more introspective take on vampire lore, where the hunter and the hunted are equally monstrous. Romance and tragedy linger beneath the violence, giving the film an unexpectedly elegiac quality.
