Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - sinematurk.com - multimania.com - geocities.com - blogcu.com - horror-wood.com: «...Dracula Istanbul'da or Dracula in Istanbul was made in 1953, from a script by Umit Deniz a journalist and crime story writer, based on a 1928 novel by Ali Riza Seyfi called Vlad the Impaler, which was for the most part a translation of Stoker’s Dracula. There had never been an attempt in Turkey to make a horror film before and I have not been able to find out why the director Mehmet Muhtar decided that Turkish cinema goers wanted to watch a domestic horror film. Anyway, it matters little because they did make it. Seyfi’s novel, unlike Stoker’s original story, blatantly claims Dracula to be Vlad Drago and goes on to provide a chronicle of his crimes against the Turks, such as impaling them on massive wooden sticks, drinking their blood and burning them (at the same time ignoring the fact that they were after all invaders).The film also retains this concept, the Harker character comes across a book which contains a history of Dracula/Vlad’s past history and so there is no question that they are one and the same being...» (Philip Madden).
