Featured reviews
"Aeon: The Last Vampyre On Earth" is a taut melodrama with some pretty intense suspense. The bulk of which hinges on the ability of the two actors portraying the nightmarish colloquy during the devastating end of the world. An ability which comes through very well due to the commitment the actors give to these two characters. The back-and-forth coupled with the chilling, dingy surrounding makes for one heck of an atmospheric thriller. At times the character of Aeon seems to surpass Catherine in delivering some mesmerizing confab but the two really bring the viewer in to the story completely. It is worth mentioning that Aeon is truly refreshing as a throwback to a Gothic, non-romanticized vampire in this story. No hunky, ultra-fab, trendy vamp here, just a terrifying, primal creature far superior in knowledge and ability.
Now the production and effects in "Aeon: The Last Vampyre On Earth" is on the low budget side but executed with enough passion and vision that it never takes from the over all visual concept. The action is on a very low level as well with most of the chills and suspense relying on dramatic accentuation combined with sound effects-which at times made me jump. There are moments that the story falters somewhat toward indulgence but never completing reaches the point to become non- watchable. Mostly the film is a classic and timeless allegory of humanity and morality. Overall "Aeon: The Last Vampyre On Earth" is a very cool, and captivating melodrama, one that has me believing that it is worthy of some theatrical stage production in a small off Broadway sort of way.
This is a very spartan sort of movie. It takes place entirely in one, mostly bare room. There are only two characters: Catherine and The Last. That's what the character is called in the credits. Not a lot happens in the movie. Most of it is these two characters conversing about whatever cataclysm is happening outside and why it's happening. Much of that is the vampire recounting the hidden history of the Earth or, at least, his version of it. He is clearly downplaying the predatory nature of his own kind so it's unclear how reliable of a narrator he actually is. A lot of what he says is apparently supposed to sound deep and profound but is really just a lot of vague new age-y rambling. The vampire himself looks quite different from the usual movie vampire. Apparently, the military spent decades trying to kill him so he looks in terrible shape and can barely move around. I am guessing this was mainly to explain why he doesn't just kill her.
This movie was an interesting experiment but it doesn't really work for the most part. Nothing happens for most of the movie. There are only a few mild scares. There's just these two characters talking. If you aren't invested in the ongoing conversation, there's just nothing here.
