09/27/2019 Nicely done "alternative" vampire tale See more 04/11/2018 could be much better See more Steve S @RT32687682 11/13/2014 ***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I am mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.*** See more 02/10/2014 thought it was ok for some of it,got confused close to the end and was disappointed by the end. it was bittersweet to see how it played out and stephen griscz was confusing over all. i'd say if you're curious to see it,i guess its worth giving a shot,but don't have high hopes for it to be fantastic See more 12/08/2013 I was hoping Jude Law good bring something interesting to a stale and boring genre that for lack of a better term I'll call "creature feature drama." The featured creature here is a vampire, which happens to be played by Jude Law! Jude Law a vampire? How can that not be interesting? Watch and this and you will find out very quickly! The only thing engaging about the entire film was seeing Ivo Saliger's "Der Arztz" on the wall of the vampire's lair. It's otherwise an exercise in pretentious boredom with morality statements about the nature of mankind that could be penned by a teenager high on mildly illegal substance feeling the weight of realizing they will have to take responsibility for their actions and act like an adult, in about 10 years. See more 09/10/2013 Slick alternate approach to a vampire story. Steven snares women, then bleeds them dry. By the time someone catches up to one, he's on to the next. The film opens with a car in a tree with copious blood flowing out of it. This was a former girl friend of Steven's. Steven prevents a woman, Maria, from committing suicide, then romances her. Later he dumps her body in some quicksand. The body is found by a Spanish fisher. Steven gets a visit from the police. Anne Labels is a structural engineer whom Steven meets at a museum. Steven saves the inspector from a gang. The gang re-appears later while Steven is with Anne; the leader means to use her. Steven beats up the other four gang members and gets Anne away from the leader. He subdues the leader; she returns with a weapon; they leave more or less unscathed. The police bring him in for more interviews. The police give up for a time when the inspector learns from Maria's friends that she was contemplating suicide and that Steven prevented it. Steven returns the crucifix that the gang leader stole from the inspector at their first meeting. Steven falls in love with Anne. He needs her blood, but he cannot do it. Such a quandary. Cinematography: 10/10 Sweet; well done. Sound: 10/10 Also good. Acting: 10/10 Top notch. Screenplay 9/10 A little slow moving, but well-constructed. See more Read all reviews
