In issue 223 of Total Film magazine, we go behind the creepy scenes of Dracula Untold – the action-packed monster movie that looks set to steal the vampire genre back from the tweens. Even if those involved aren't calling it a vampire film…
Inside the issue - which is available for just £2.99 on your iPad – TF travels to the Belfast set to watch Luke Evans burn through Vlad’s backstory, taking inspiration from Braveheart , Game Of Thrones , Spielberg and, er, Unforgiven .
