Patrick Bergin plays Dracula like your weird uncle who owns too many velvet capes. Unhinged.
Healed by the brash young American investment banker Jonathan Harker and his fiancée Mina, a group of young adventurers are seeking new opportunities in Budapest. When the mysterious Count Tepes summons Jonathan to his castle in Romania for an important deal, little does the banker know what horror he is about to unleash upon the world. This is an abridged version of the Dracula's Curse (2002) miniseries starring Patrick Bergin and Giancarlo Giannini.
