worth remaking with real actors.


the biggest problem with this movie. I could handle all the rest. I think this story would do quite well with better actors and just the minimal of tightening up of the script/dialog. The ending was really good.

not a bigger budget, just better actors. and a little more attention to detail.

that's the problem with this movie, 3 years after seeing i still cant say whether its good or bad...its certainly smarter, more original, witty and more engaging than stuff like blade 3 or underworld...but the lead actress is so very very bad...nothing wrong with her movement i guess, just dub her voice over, remove the cringeworthy sex scene...

if someone asks you if this film is any good...you find yourself saying...well yes and no

"so its terrible"
"no"
"so its good"
"not exactly"
"so its so bad its good"
"nope"
"then what?"
"its bad, but not so bad as its bad, but not so bad as its bad so bad its good, its not good, but not entirely bad. its pretty good, but with bad bits, and pretty bad, with very good bits"

clear as an unmuddied lake

Geena Davis would have good ten years ago (I think she looks like a vampire anyway}. Kate Beckinsale is probubly out of the question, She's already made at least Three Vampire movies. How about Catherine Zeta-Jones as Lilith?

Eileen Daly is a terrible actress..because she isn't an actress. She was originally a fetish glamour model, was the 'face' of 'Redemption Films' and made quite a good living stripping in pubs around London (I know..I've seen her act a couple of times).

However she worked cheap and looked the part in a rubber catsuit. But she was known by those who worked alongside her on RBS as as Eileen 'What Day is it' Daly because she was wasted on coke a lot of the time and could never remember her lines..


How do I know? I know Jake West and I was one of the Transylvanian Extras in the Bar scene at the beginning.

Actually I'd love to see Yancy Butler as a vampire! Not a very high-paid actress and she looks the part! Let's just hope she gets over her apparent drink problems :(

-Goodnight, father of two!

This film had some very interesting vampire themes and a much better story than the standard hollwood tripe.

However, it certainly does make you appreciate good actors.

Worth remaking with propper actors......and a better script.
The only highligt of this movie is the latex outfit Eileen Daly is wearing, but i guess thats the reason she is wearing it: Getting people to watch the movie.
