The New Dracula, got it out of red box..it's action not horror..pretty good at least they got the historical context correct..Vladimir was actually a hero..when the other Christian kingdoms were giving the Muslim hordes tributes, Vladimir refused..the Muslims consider negotiations a weaknesses never mind those that paid them tribute..they would use that money to strengthen their army and attack you anyway, unless you then paid even more..the other Christian kingdoms were apologist for the Muslim hordes and gave them what they wanted..the reason why he impaled them was to strike fear in the enemy. He was raised by the Muslims. He's father gave him! Up as tribute when he was a child so he tried to convince the other kingdoms that Muslims aren't to be trusted, it's a culture of deceit which is a badge of honor for them..they only understand strengths through violence...4/5 stars
