In this one off adaptation of Bram Stoker’s legendary Dracula novel, it is 1899 and Lord Holmwood (Dan Stevens) has contracted syphilis and cannot consummate his marriage with his new bride Lucy (Sophia Myles) for fear on infecting her. He arranges to have an expert in blood diseases brought over from Europe to help cure him – but the man in question is Count Dracula (Marc Warren) who has an agenda of his own.

Very well cast and with a nicely faithful to the source material vibe unlike so many other adaptations.
