Summary: Nazis are sent to guard an old, mysterious fortress in a Romanian pass. One of them mistakenly releases an unknown force trapped within the walls. A mysterious stranger senses this from his home in Greece and travels to the keep to vanquish the force. As soldiers are killed, a Jewish man and his daughter (who are both knowledgable of the keep) are brought in to find out what is happening. (imdb)

Cheap, slow, and over the top. The book was actually good though.

Wilson's strikingly original novel about Nazi stormtroopers versus a Dracula-like vampire in his Transylvanian fortress gets butchered but good in this moody, muddled mix of H. P. Lovecraft, _Alien_, _Raiders of the Lost Ark_, and _They Saved Hitler's Brain_. The actors are all saddled with so many different accents and dialects that much of the dialogue is incomprehensible, while the plot, with the revived vampire altered into some sort of personification of evil or something, is full of holes

I spent my whole adolescence trying to track this movie down after seeing it on the cover of a Fangoria back issue in a Midwestern comic shop. Couple of near hits at video store liquidation sales, couple of missed bids on Ebay and I finally gave up. Long after that, I saw it online somewhere, and meh. Kind of dull and cheap. Hovers around mediocrity all the way through, total disappointment. Looking it up on Google, that magazine cover wasn't really that spectacular either.

If Pink Floyd ever made a horror film, this would be it. Great premise gets ruined by overly drawn-out moments of "hey, isn't this cool" where I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be seeing. the strategy seemed to be that if it's not working, we'll just add another character.

what the fuck did i just watch? this was a michael mann film? this movie is a strange flick, there must have been alot of material that was cut out..Tho there are some great performances by Byrne and Mckellen and the story , which is not bad, a sort of indiana jones horror thriller set in a keep still looks weird end doesn't completely work, tho it probably has something to do with the budget(looking at the film it was probably quite low) But overall a nice try! And not a bad debut for mr.Mann

Up there with 'Dune' and 'On The Silver Globe' with ruined science fiction masterpieces.

Very underwhelming. It has a few interesting visuals, but other than that this film is very unremarkable. The one thing I liked was Ian McKellen's performance. The worst of Mann's films I've seen.

Anyone who says Michael Mann can do no wrong needs to watch this because good God it is not up to par. It's not abysmally bad as there are some good scenes but as a whole it just comes across as an overly melodramatic and convoluted mess of a film. Despite the fact it has a superb principle cast and a great director it just doesn't work. I guess Michael Mann's style just doesn't work for horror in the same way it does for thrillers because Manhunter is awesome.

Extraordinary combination of war and fantasy fiction, not entirely dissimilar from _Castle Keep_ which had a similar exposition.

A basically decent idea for a movie ruined by ridiculous overdirection. Cries out for the MST3K treatment
