Great, great movie. Anyone worried about the staleness of the vampire sub-genre can breathe easy. This film is completely engaging from start to finish.
It’s a really good film to introduce any stubborn horror fan to foreign films (subtitles). And Ron Perlman is the fuckin’ man in this one, as usual. He adds a lot of comic relief as well as just being a great presence in to watch on screen. Of course all the actors are great, particularily the main character. And there’s a surprisingly fitting Hitchcock inspired score throughout the film that really gives the horror of the events some class as well as shock.
See it soon, you won’t be bored, I promise.
(By the way, whoever that chick on the cover is ain’t in the movie, sorry guys)
Its intersting story always passed it by in the video story but thought I should check it out its not bad.
An interesting take on Vampires.A good start for Del Toro.View this first than THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE,and then PAN’S LABRYNTH.If you don’t like sub-titles just watch the Hell boy FILMS.But if you do, you can see his genius grow with each film.
If u haven’t seen it then dont worry its just an alright film. Kidding, check it out it’s pretty cool.
A very well done film, you really come to empathize with the lead.
I really enjoyed this imaginitive horror, it’s a highly original idea and is a fresh take on the vampire. I thought the final battle was thrilling and I cared what was going to happen to the characters which is a big tick in my mark book. This film should be watched by more than 5 others on here!
i was pleasantly surprised by this movie. everything that del Toro touches is instant gold. i really like it, when i actually care about the characters. an original take on the vampire genre. was a little slow, but not a big deal. and if you can’t stand subtitles than you shouldn’t be allowed to watch movies anyway.
Bought this film not knowing anything about this one, except than Ron Perlman was in it…but highly impressed with it. Probably one of my fav films I have seen in the past few years. Watch this one and see….
A superb story and visual feast with a vampiric twist!
I turned this off 3/4 of the way through. It got way too boring. Maybe I’ll watch the rest tonight… or maybe I’ll throw it in the mailbox.
