Produced by exploitation genius Roger Corman and timed to cash in on the success of Francis Ford Coppola's lavishly romantic BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, DRACULA RISING is a low budget, direct-to-video production that delivers few scares but lots of eerie atmosphere, greatly abetted by
Bulgarian locations.
Los Angeles-based painter and restorationist Theresa Jennings (Stacey Travis) meets handsome, mysterious Vlad (Christopher Atkins) at a gallery party. She feels she knows him, and they dance; he disappears into the night and, haunted by strange and erotic dreams, she accepts a job in Eastern
Europe, restoring a portrait housed in the eerie Church of Lost Souls.
