Loved it!

When I saw it on Netflix I thought "here we go another horror flick with guts galore" but I was wrong. It was really good and very funny. It's kind of campy, making fun of other walking dead movies I think. But still very entertaining. I think it would make a great series, I would watch it. I loved how Dylan was so blase about there being vampires, werewolves and zombies living among us and no one knows about it. And their occupations were hilarious, especially the "body shop". If you watch this expecting some serious cinematic masterpiece then you will be disappointed. But if you watch it with an open mind and expect it to be fun then you will be entertained.

I've read most of the comics seens the '80...I've been collecting them for very long time. He was English, he lived in London with he's assistant Groucho, he played the clarinet and driven a old yellow vw beetle. And not to be forget that he looked like Rupert Everett.

Why did they even bother? This movie is so far removed from the source material that they could have gotten rid of the handful of Dylan Dog references and called it something else entirely. Nobody would have noticed what it was based on. It would still have made for a very boring movie though. I have tried to watch it twice now and I have fallen asleep both times.

Don't know anything about the comic books. But I enjoyed the movie as well. Seems a better film than the tortured vampire films and series we're deluged with currently.

Saw this when it was released on Bluray. I was very happy with the showing. It was quirky and humorous, and very enjoyable.

I didn't know this was based on a comic book, so I can understand where people might take issue with it not keeping to the source material, but that said... it was a great movie, as just a movie. Give it a chance.

I don't know anything about the source material, but I really liked this movie. I've always liked Brandon, and thought he was treated horribly after Superman. And Sam was fantastic in Being Human and always brings some needed comic energy, very much in abundance here. What a surprisingly fun movie.
