This definitely was the worst vampire film ever made! I regret wasting 100 minutes watching this. It was absolutely ridiculous! From the beginning I felt like I'm watching an amateur's attempt to record a film with his personal camera. The close-ups where extremely bad, creating awkward moments (and I'm referring here to the glances exchange - Katherine Hawkes looking rather dumb than inducing the 'love-at-first-sight' feeling).
The first close-up with the vampire at the opera was anything but mysterious. I remember thinking: "What the f...? Who has a lamp behind him at the opera?" I am sorry for the actors, I haven't heard much of them, but their acting skills are pretty low.
Another thing that I noticed was that they skipped from one scene to another and at first, it was hard to follow the story (or maybe I was too tired to try to understand what was the director's point): from the incident at the opera to a couple of men in a car talking about a character not yet introduced and ending with the disclosure of the romantic relationship between the two cops.
Of all vampire embodiments, this one was the worst. All the hissing, the roaring... were they vampires or wolves, for God sake's? At the club, when Alex is trying not to join his companions at the feast, he was looking like his dental prosthesis was falling. All the feasting scenes are awful. Why are they lifting their heads, howling at the moon? And although they were biting the victims entire bodies, the wounds where only on their necks.
They wanted to present the concept of a vampire in another way (with the virus and stuff), but they were totally unsuccessful. It's a shame this movie saw the light of day.
Very bad plot, dialogs, special effects, action sequences and the list can go on. From my perspective, as a vampire film fan and as an inhabitant of the country where the legend of Dracula started, this so called film does not worth any of your time.
