Great vampire horror!

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2007)

This film succeeds where others fall short by building genuine suspense and dread. The atmosphere was exactly what I think good horror is all about. The vampires are actually frightening in this one. The action is tight, the direction and photography solid. Performances are strong and the ending almost poetic.
The story is creepy and even though this is based on a comic, it comes across as believable. The vampire lore comes across as grounded in reality and the behavior of the villains is harsh and brutal - unlike any recent example of vampire seen in film or television.
Highly recommended. An excellent example of how to make a horror film. Hats off to the David Slade and his team! Steven.
