Dylan Dog: Dead Of Night is as far from the actual Dylan Dog as a movie based on it can actually be. I read somewhere that this was not supposed to be a Dylan Dog movie, but that the title was put during the production to get some marketing. If it's true, than it's no surprise. But truth or not, that doesn't change the fact that the movie would suck anyway.

While the comic book's are something of a horror written like movie noir with some elements of comedy, this is just a dumb movie that tries to mix action and horror genre with comedy and fails at all three disastrously. Also, it need's to be mentioned that some of the most important character's from the comic book's are not even in it. In the matter of fact, there is Dylan Dog and that's it. And not to mention that Dylan's character in this film is nothing like Dylan in the comic books. This guy is more like Rambo off steroids with a teenagers personality. And while all those flaws could even somehow be accepted if it wasn't a Dylan Dog movie, the fact that every scene is there for only one purpose and that is to lead to another dumb, action packed sequence, and that the dialog is so stupid that a child can say 'it's obviously written', all of it together just makes it too bad to be bearable. There are plenty of movies out there that are bad adaptations and that are plain simply bad movies, but they at least tend to have something to offer. Something like a brainless entertainment. This one can't offer anything. Not even that. It's boring and dumb, it's trash. And just for the record, werewolves and vampires are not supposed to look the same. And when the entire movie is about someone trying to bring back to life a super powerful monster, make sure that the monster is actually powerful instead of just knowing some karate and having wings and horns.

And the cinematography... Oh God. Let's just say that if i had a son, and if i bought him a cheap indie camera, and if i would give him a set of lights, he'd make it look better. Actually, forget that last part. He wouldn't need a set of lights. And i don't know who directed this, but he should stop directing.

Dylan Dog: Dead Of Night is a predictable, boring and dumb movie with terrible acting all around, that has nothing to do with it's title. No matter what you do, make sure you avoid watching it. Especially if you are a fan of the comic books.
