osolis I enjoyed this film. It has a dreamy quality to it and has an element of mystery. The design is nicely evocative and the pacing is almost languid. If this is the intention then bravo, because it perfectly captures what Alex, the titular vampire, must feel through the century plus of his undead life. Night after night of ceaseless existence which must be filled with stimulation and not just the stimulus of hunting humans. It captures the loneliness that such a creature, still endowed with all the normal feelings that he once knew in his human life, must endure. In fact, it captures this better than "Interview With A Vampire" does.If you seek a bloodbath, look elsewhere. This is a vampire film about longing and despair and well worth a viewing.
alanandfreya This is by far the best Vampire film I have ever seen. Finally a film which is based on character rather than driven by plot and endless gore. Wonderfully shot and with great performances from all involved. Highly recommended! So often films are influenced by the likes of Interview with the Vampire and other post-Rice trash, which contain a romanticised view of the Vampire's nature and life, but this film takes us back to the original meaning of Vampires: anguish and death, but without letting the gore take over.

CerebraX If your idea of vampire films involves buckets of blood, fast-paced action, a ton of ultra-violence, a fair bit of sex, then more blood, this film will not be for you. You will be bored stiff, and will find little satisfying in this film.However, for those people who can appreciate something more than that, and value the more subtle approaches to filmaking, then this is definitely worth a look.This is an art-house style movie, with a good, and suitably heart-wrenching story, directed, filmed and lit in a stunningly beautiful, and thoughtful way.Acting is superb throughout, but its the sets, the lighting, and the film work itself that make this film shine. And it does. I didn't find it boring, or even particularly slow paced. I had enormous empathy for the situations of both main characters, and was pleased that the ending avoided all the cinematic clichés of the past 50 years.You could view it as depressing, and in many ways it is, but I don't mind that in a film. If I want inane one-liners, and throw-away vampire entertainment, I'll watch Buffy, or Blade. If I want something a bit more intelligent, thought-provoking, and different, then this is it.I happily award this film 10 / 10 - I haven't enjoyed a film as much as I did this one for quite some time. i will be buying it on DVD.
morphinism This is the movie that I use to judge all other bad movies, and so far there hasn't been anything close.The only good thing I can say is that after watching this I know that I have seen the worst movie I will ever see.
