Summary: Dark, richly atmospheric, but dull and cliched
Review: This technically well-made vampire film is luxuriantly boreal and atmospheric but this and Adrian Paul and Ling Bai's solid performances are wasted in an ultimately dull and cliched film. The story involves a vampire underworld trying to thwart a killer trying to draw human attention to them, with Paul and Bai strong as key bloodsuckers. Woodbine, who isn't much of an actor in the first place, however, is horribly mis-cast as a human detective. The tiresome predictability of much of the film is bad and those god-awful one-liners cheapen the over-all effect; the line "This isn't the movies" should never again be used in a vampire movie to renounce rules of other vampire movies. Attempts by the director to break long stretches of boring dialogue with stylized action sequences also fall flat. Overall a waste of talent.

Summary: let me down
Review: When I saw the previews for this movie it looked very interesting to look at. Was I wrong or what. It goes to show that not all previews are always good.
Rating: 
Summary: film noir
Review: Yes it was dark and atmospheric. For people who like film noir with a bit of a twist (and not much of one really since "vampire" could have been any oppressed people that others are afraid of) this is a good film to see. Adrian Paul fans will be happy with this one. Usually I write better worded reviews but the other reviewer (Ed Matusky?) who said Adrian Paul played one hell of a vampire wrote a really great review that said it all.
