Featured review
It's hard not to watch this and compare it with Jeremy Brett's The Last Vampyre, and once again, as with all of Matt Frewer's Sherlock Holmes films, it's a mix of good and bad.
Let's start with the good, the story, I liked it, I'm not a huge fan of vampires in general, but this works rather well. I like the visuals, it looks authentic enough, it's atmospheric, it looks murky, and lacks some of the usual polish you get in such productions.
The acting, is a little patchy it's fair to say, some of the cast are a little hammy, Frewer though I did enjoy, I liked his accent, I liked his quirkiness, he had some presence.
On the debit side, it felt a little clunky at parts, some of the dialogue is a little over the top. I mentioned earlier that you shouldn't compare, the trouble is when you do compare this with Brett's, it's just not in the same league.
It's watchable, 6/10.
