Aslinn McIntyre The Breed is one those strange grey area films where you either like all of it, like some of it or hate it for taking up film. Me, I am sort of on the middle ground.If you are a fan of the romantic vampire stuff, this film is not really for you. But if you like vampire stories with a strange sci-fi edge, you might get a kick out of it, especially if you are into vampire and sci-fi literature. They use a lot of name dropping of famous vamps from literature and it has an over all Gothic-steam punk feel to it and pays homage to 1984 and the old film Nosferatu, rather than Dracula.It also serves as a buddy film/cop film as well an odd couple fish out of water sort of story. Adrian Paul and Bookem Woodbine are really strange casting choices but considering how weird the film really is, it works for me.This film also echoes another dystopian film called Perfect Creature and goes a step further with a sort of campy over top art house vibe. Take a look at this film with an open mind. It is not a great vampire film and it is not a great sci-fi film but it is entertaining if you just relax and let it be what it is: Weirdly Satisfying.
warriorscot Pretty good film not the best production values but I've seen allot worse, its the brazil of vampire movies although its not really a vampire movie, vampires are used to emphasise the point the film is more about race and sectarianism. The vampire elements are fairly good though done better than most proper vampire films it could have done with some better camera work and make up it kind of went for the brazil look but did it with a little more realism than it should have so it just came off wrong, they should have made it more realistic or less realistic they tried to go half way in between and it doesn't work as well.All in all good film, as long as you don't expect it as a vampire film its not bad at all.
Elijah_Chandler Wait a minute... yes I do.The director of 'The Breed' has obviously seen Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil' a few too many times and asked himself the question, "If 'Brazil' had been an ill-conceived tale about vampires in the near future, what would it be like?" Well, I'll tell ya, it'd be like 91 minutes of a Swedish whore kicking you in the groin, only not as satisfying. The dialogue was laced with gratuitous curse words and trite one-liners, and whoever edited this piece of crap should be shot. I have no real idea of exactly how the whole thing ended because I'm not really sure what happened during the first part of the film. With so many subplots your head begins to hurt and so much bad acting your head wants to explode this movie should only be viewed with large quantities of beer and at least two other people you can MST3K with. The only thing that made me not stab myself in the eye with a dirty soup spoon was this line: Evil Doctor Guy: "That's it, you are not James Bond, and I am not Blofeld. No more explanations!" Dude From Jason's Lyric: "I'm getting paid scale!" The cinematography was shaky at best and the acting was putrid. Also, what was with all the pseudo-1984 posters and PA announcements? The costumes were from the 50's, the cars were from the 60's, the music was from the 90's and I wish I were dead. This movie sucks.
Claudio Carvalho In a near future, the existence of a city of vampires is disclosed to the human race. However, some killings of humans jeopardize the integration of the races. Detective Steve Grant (Bokeem Wooddbine) and the vampire Detective Aaron Gray (Adrien Paul) join forces investigating the murders. This movie has many essential components to be a great film: a wonderful photography, something between Gothic and noir, recalling 'Dark City' and even 'Matrix'; an intriguing and original plot, discussing the problems of integration of two very different races, which can be extrapolated for the present intolerance in the world; great costumes, good special effects and some good actors and actresses. However, the screenplay is confused, with an unnecessary romance, and the direction is cold, and in the end, we have a movie without emotion or vibration, basic elements for this type of story. Anyway, it is watchable and is a reasonable entertainment. My vote is six.Title (Brazil) : 'Cidade dos Vampiros' ('Vampires City')
