Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Stolen Dreamer First, I must admit to being a Vampire!slut. It must be in my blood, (bad pun). I'd read about Demon Under Glass a few years ago and had completely forgotten until yesterday when I found it on sale.Now - in all fairness - it isn't a terrible movie, obviously low budget, but I'd expected that. The acting was enjoyable; face it kiddies, Simon stole the show. I also appreciated the character McKay and his struggles with violating his Hippocratic Oath, this is especially apparent when Simon rips off his caduceus toward the end. Dr. Bassett (Jack Donner) had a fairly interesting role throughout the film that was overshadowed, on my part, by my preoccupation as to where in the bloody world I'd seen his face before.My only criticism is that the movie was a bit too slow and the police officer's involvement seemed superficial at best. Also, it was terribly apparent to me that it was Simon who was the puppet master; a creature of survival, in his own words. Nonetheless, the minor blood play, brief sexual activity, and wonderful moment where Simon *dips* Joe McKay in an embrace that positively screamed 'gothic romance novel' had me beaming (unfortunately t'was only a dream).Overall, if you're interested in the subject matter... I'd say it's worth the 111 minutes.

sjcoek Consider: The Government wants to capture a vampire and keep him in a hermetically sealed coffin and study him. Why they do this is never really revealed. But hey, it's the government. So basically, the vamp is poked and prodded every day and locked in the box every night. Deep, huh? Oh yeah, he's nicknamed Vlad (highly original) and is captured, as the description tells you, with the help of a "beautiful" female cop. The photography, direction and especially the writing border on terrible and more than once cross the line into putrid. ("Sir, you presume too much!!"). The acting ranges from competent to hammy (and BAD hammy) to non-existent. All in all, a waste of almost 2 hours. Pauly Shore has more depth.

sl02 I had the opportunity to see Demon Under Glass (DUG) in DVD and, nevertheless that it is a movie of "Independent Cinema", of very low budget, I really liked the movie, and also to other 3 people that did it with me. The plot is very interesting, the music is stupendous and the performances of most of the actors are good, inclusive that of some secondary actors as that of the actor that interpreted Mr. Smith. The initial scene of when the vampire strangles the scientist it could have been more convincing, but the plot of the movie catches the public from the beginning until the end. The scene nudist is not offensive and when the scene of the dream began, fairly I thought that it was that, a dream, without me to know it before. In general, the movie is very good, of much suspense, without exaggerated violence and it is not bloody. The performance of Garett Maggart is magnificent, very natural, showing his big histrionic qualities once again. I don't like movies of vampires a lot (only the classics) but this movie has a very interesting plot, not conventional, and the end stays in suspense, achieving the public to wait for more.

lenny404 I heard of the negative hype about this B horror flick and thought I'd buy it and see what all the bashing was about. What a surprise! Generic, white-bread, Disney people need not apply!"Demon Under Glass" turned out to be an interesting, thought provoking study of human nature and questions what make up "good" and "evil" into day's society--the 'good' doctors doing research for the good of all man kind using a captive, restrained vampire, or the 'bad' creature, killer and vampire? Who was less human, the magnificent creature of the night trying to survive or the single-minded medical people experimenting on him?Some may feel the dark lighting is a sign of a poor film, but I found the shadowy scenes enhanced the delivery of the intensity and foreboding of the film. Garret Maggart as the one doctor with objects about the vampire's treatment was very convincing and made me sympathetic to his moral dilemma and I don't even like doctors, of any kind, real or make believe. Jason Carter was intense and dramatic as the captured vampire. Vampires ROCK! And this guy proves it. Pure predator and sexual presence.Gota love this movie! Sexy Vampires, good-looking doctors, some interesting questions about life and , I can't Believe no one has mentioned this before, a half-naked, bloody, sexy KIRA REED, sex goddess! If you like vampires, you'll like 'Demon Under Glass.'
