Konterr Brilliant and touching

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Michael Ledo The film opens with an automobile wedged in a tree. I haven't seen anything like this since my company stopped supplying me with rental cars. (Rental cars are magic. They can do anything.) We soon find out that Steven Grlscz (sic) is a vampire who courts women then kills them. He can taste emotion in their blood and keeps a log book. The film takes place in the non-metric part of England that measures speed in miles per hour instead of kilometers per hour.Steven becomes intrigued by Annie Labels (Elina Löwensohn), an engineer with a French accent and B positive blood. About the same time the police (Timothy Spall who would later become a rodent in those Potter films) also becomes interested in Steven who has lost two girlfriends in the last few months.The film was also released under a different title, "Immortality." It is an interesting and different vampire film. The character of Steven was intentionally dead pan for much of the movie which weighed the film down in a number of scenes.I would of liked to have seen Steven's character more developed through dead girlfriends instead of just the one we get to see. Worth a peek if you like vampire films. It is currently available on a multi-pack called "8 Horror Classics" which includes "Dracula 2000" and "Dawn to Dusk" both of which should be in any horror collections.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Elina Löwensohn)

ginobean i think it was technically fairly well done, but i think the basic plot is a big FAIL.The Jude Law character feeds on blood, but can walk around in daylight with no issues. The problem is that when he feeds on women to stay alive, the women have to die in the process.Trying to stay alive is generally admirable, but trying to stay alive at the cost of other innocent people's lives is going too far. Once he crossed this road, he was no longer someone I could identify or sympathize with. Here's an analogy: Suppose the cure for a particular type of cancer turned out to require the killing of an innocent person at least once a month. The cure ends up being worse than the disease. You end up transforming from a victim of cancer into a mass murderer. This is sort of similar to the plot line of this story. You can't really glamorize it or hold it in any kind of positive, romantic light, because there is none. Which all makes me wonder what qualities in the story drove the people involved in producing this movie to actually green light it.

Tulip1989-1 I knew nothing of the "vampire" aspect of this film before seeing it, and I wouldn't have it any other way.I thought that I had watched a film about a terrifying, eccentric, charming, brutal, tormented man who (like many of us) felt abnormal and unreal in his own skin. His internal conflict, his willingness to act against what seemed to be his nature, and his compulsion to survive were the prominent themes.The opening scene of this film is captivatingly beautiful and haunting. I believed, mistakenly, that Jude Law's character was a police officer due to his presence at an auto accident. That impression (and it truly was only my own impression) lasted until he deftly and unexpectedly killed his lover/fiancé, a woman whose life he had previously saved.After killing his fiancé, Jude Law's character endures a physical agony, and eventually "produces" and saves a long crystal-like barb, labeled with his fiancé's name. This puzzled me initially, but later in the film, he talks about his work to study bladder and kidney "stones" or formations, and their possible connection to strong emotions in the patient. I believe that each of the barbs Stephen kept were formations from his own internal organs that resulted from the emotion of killing his prey... OR, they may have been the manifestation of the the prey's emotion, as conveyed to him through their blood. (This idea is supported by his one-word emotion notation in the diaries after the death of the two women in the first half of the film.) There were definitely moments in this film that made me wonder about the nature of Stephen (e.g., his forgetting to breath; the number of diaries which indicate the number of women he has killed while still being a young man; killing his fiancé with a bite; etc.), but I did not ever assume he was a literal vampire. It seemed to be more of a figurative identity,In hind sight, Stephen's curiosity with the police investigator's crucifix would have been a little more ironic with the knowledge that he was a vampire, but not knowing did not take anything away from the film or story for me. To the contrary, I am a little disappointed that I now know.The overall revealing of Jude Law's character evolves slowly throughout the film, even until the very end. It is a fascinating depiction of complex character.There is a great deal of symbolism in the film, and it does not pander to the audience -- nothing is handed over on a silver platter. It's definitely worth a look!

Earle Ousley This vampire movie did not have undue special effects and offered no gimmicks. The movie was alive with Romance, seduction with some gore. The Vampire played a great cat and mouse game with the police detectives, which had a great positive effect in the movie. The movie kept away from the stereotype a vampire movie normally brings. It made the theme of the movie so real compared to like movies. The acting kept me glued to the movie, and it was not predictable. Also the way the vampire became redeemed was very genuine. The behavior was not scary. It was true to life. My only wish is that the movie was longer than an hour and 39 minutes. I give the movie 7 stars.
