Good story, better effects, but bad acting. - 6 of 10

Rating: 5/10 (14 March 2004)

I liked the effects, the story and the plot twists. That's about it. The one dimensional characters were flat and hollow, although the story helps to fill some holes later (too little, too late). The actors presentations were terrible. The only one that really added anything extra was Michael Sheen (Lucian). The writing was awful and better care should have been taken here. "Leave us!" is used a bit too much. The vampires use of guns got tiresome. The vampires really didn't do anything to impress me at all, but this film is worth seeing for the special effects on the werewolves alone. The job done by the crew is fantastic. Watch the extra dvd footage for some of the behind the scenes magic. - 6 of 10
