Alicia I love this movie so much
GamerTab That was an excellent one.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
wendyrlh I have to say this: the reason i liked this films is double. First, because of Julian Sands, of course, he is very handsome and a very attractive and believable vampire. The second is that I loved the twisted end about this Edgar Clemm being Edgar Allan Poe and taking revenge on poor Alex, although the actor chosen to portray Poe was a little bit of a disappointment. It is a pity, however, that the movie is so slow, and so short. A little more of vampire romance and more flashbacks of the XIX century Baltimore would had been a nice gesture to all vampire and Gothic fans. Also I watched it entirely dubbed on Spanish language which, I guess, diminished the possibility of hearing the original voices of the actors. I enjoyed the loneliness of the main character and laughed at the scene of the bloody-finger-kiss. All in all, the movie is a good effort in story telling and very valuable for us, vampire fans, who tend to be very romantic.
Eva Rosen The premise of the history (an ancient vampire with a lost lover finding a look-alike he can't get close to for fear to kill her) can't be more overdo. But when the movie advances, much of the vampire-clichés are thankfully absent, and the acting is good. Julian Sands can get afloat almost anything, get that in mind. Having said that, and as you should know if you have seen the other reviews,the thing is SLOW. SLOW as you won't believe. If you can deal with that and the inherent sadness of the whole thing ( that you know from about twenty minutes of watching that can't end well), may be a good midnight event.
CerebraX If your idea of vampire films involves buckets of blood, fast-paced action, a ton of ultra-violence, a fair bit of sex, then more blood, this film will not be for you. You will be bored stiff, and will find little satisfying in this film.However, for those people who can appreciate something more than that, and value the more subtle approaches to filmaking, then this is definitely worth a look.This is an art-house style movie, with a good, and suitably heart-wrenching story, directed, filmed and lit in a stunningly beautiful, and thoughtful way.Acting is superb throughout, but its the sets, the lighting, and the film work itself that make this film shine. And it does. I didn't find it boring, or even particularly slow paced. I had enormous empathy for the situations of both main characters, and was pleased that the ending avoided all the cinematic clichés of the past 50 years.You could view it as depressing, and in many ways it is, but I don't mind that in a film. If I want inane one-liners, and throw-away vampire entertainment, I'll watch Buffy, or Blade. If I want something a bit more intelligent, thought-provoking, and different, then this is it.I happily award this film 10 / 10 - I haven't enjoyed a film as much as I did this one for quite some time. i will be buying it on DVD.
Josh English The opening scenes move as fluidly as frozen velveeta. The attempt at dramatic dialogue only makes me wish I had better control of the fast forward control. Vampires are usually portrayed as sexy and intelligent or mangy disgusting creatures. This vampire tries to seduce his prey by imitating a lost puppy. I usually tally a body count, so there was a cat (which doesn't count) a bum, a girl who fell out of the sky with a sword in her (whatever that was about) and then the plot. Foley artists are respected for using celery to create the sound of a broken arm, but using the sound of biting into an apple for a vampire biting a victim is just plain silly. I liked Warlock, but this movie just stunk so bad that we turned it off, and it was so forgettable we rented it a year later only to turn it off again.
