Dracula
3D Official Synopsis:
One
night in the woods adjacent to Passo Borgo, at the foot of the Carpathian
mountains, a couple of young lovers, Tania and Milos, secretly meet. On her way
home, Tania is chased and overcome by a "dark shadow" that kills her.
In those days Jonathan Harker, a young librarian, arrives at the village hired
by Count Dracula, a nobleman from the area. Tania's body mysteriously
disappears from the cemetery. In the meantime Harker, before going to Count
Dracula's castle, takes the opportunity to visit Lucy Kisslinger, his wife
Mina's best friend as well as the daughter of the local mayor. Upon arriving at
the castle, Harker is greeted by Tania, brought back to life from the dead and
made vampire, who tries from the very beginning to seduce him; however they are
interrupted by Dracula's entrance welcoming Harker. The following night Tania
tries again to bite Harker, she is close to his neck when she is stopped by the
count who gets the upper hand and it is he himself who bites Harker's neck,
however allowing him to live. The following day, weakened but still conscious
Harker attempts to escape, but as soon as he is outside the castle a large wolf
with a white lock assaults and savagely kills him. Meanwhile, Mina, Harker's
wife, arrives in the village and is guest for a few days at the home of her
dearest friend Lucy Kisslinger, who will also be bitten and vampirized. The day
after, Mina, worried about her husband, goes to Count Dracula's castle. Their
encounter makes her forget the reason for her presence there. She is completely
under the count's influence; the count had orchestrated the events leading up
to their encounter; in fact Mina looks exactly like his beloved Dolinger, who
died some centuries ago. Upon her return to the Kisslinger house, Mina learns
of the death of her dear friend Lucy. The sequence of such strange and dramatic
events summons the aid of Van Helsing, vampire expert of the techniques used to
eliminate them. Van Helsing, aware of the circumstances decides to act swiftly
and prepares the tools needed to combat vampires. He directs himself to the
center of evil, Count Dracula's castle. Meanwhile Dracula, in the village,
kills the inhabitants who rescinded their pact, while Van Helsing, inside the
castle, is able to definitively eliminate Tania. Dracula, intent on his desire
to reunite with his beloved wife, leads Mina, completely hypnotized, to the
castle where Van Helsing is waiting. He has decided to engage in a deadly fight
with his evil foe. During the struggle Van Helsing loses his gun with the
silver bullet and Mina, still under Dracula's spell, gathers it and tries to
aid Dracula, but she misses the target and involuntarily kills him. The special
silver bullet transforms Dracula into ashes; but his spirit lifts the ashes
into the air and uniting, they shape into a large bat with a mocking grin...
