Falls short...

Rating: 5/10 (16 December 2008)

This flick, based on the Niles/Templesmith comic definitely had the potential to make a decent movie, but the vampires and their weird Klingon sounding dialogue just didn't work for me, kind of took away from the suspense and made them less menacing and decidedly goofy really. Less vampiric hissing would've been most welcome. Kinda reminded a little of the theatrical cut of "Land of The Dead" (still a better movie) where the lead zombie is always moaning constantly. Less is usually more. Hartnett was good and well cast, and there were some good moments, despite the crappy vamp antics, but I would've preferred that they not have changed the end as it was in the book. That's my take anyway.
