World of Darkness

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2005)

It's not a direct rip-off, but close enough to support all copyright suits. Fans of White Wolf RPG's will recognize the setting, themes, conflicts and characters. Even the visual styles and recommended live action sound tracks in the book evoke a world that this movie framed and put into motion. This film could not have been produced without the influence of the body of substance that make up the World of Darkness' storytelling guides and source books.
By the same token, fans of White Wolf also won't be disappointed with the film rendition of the World of Darkness; if it weren't produced by White Wolf, it still shouldn't have been produced any other way.
With this film, the time of the action-horror genre has come, and the World of Darkness provides the most suitable foundation for it -- why not pay White Wolf what they're worth?
