WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Franka Hensen I love Vampire: The Masquerade, and at some point stumbled upon a page describing this show. To be honest, I went in with very low expectations. When I started the first episode, I thought it'd just be some trashy series I could laugh about a bit, in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.Well, nope. The series was actually so good it's good! Yes, there were several differences from the game, and yes, I complained about those at first, too. In the first two or three episodes, I was also skyping with fellow VtM-friends, and pretty much said stuff like "Why aren't you dead?! It's day!" or "Okay, so the Nossi can dominate, and the Ventrue can't?" or "What do you mean, you don't control humans? You're a vampire prince! You're supposed to have a ton of ghouls!" So, don't expect a 1:1 series about the game. That's not what this is. But, do try to see behind the differences. Okay, fine, the vampires walk around during the day, and we never had mentions of the clan flaws except the Nosferatu and kinda-sorta the Brujah. We did, however, get to see some nice higher up kindred talk, which you rarely get in a vampire game. Players aren't usually primogens or princes, even if you're playing older vamps, most don't want to sit around in a city doing politics like that. In general, sure, that's what vampire was meant to be (Not that that means much to my group, but anyway), but not primogen-prince-relationships.The characters were, for the most part, great. Archon is very Ventrue-ish, while Julian is a bit, but not a complete stereotype. I, personally, don't want players to use stereotypes for their characters, so that I liked. Yep, the Brujah aren't all gang members fighting everything and everyone nonstop. The V20 explicitly states that they're not, though many are - And that, as it seems, is true in the world of Kindred as well. Cash is very likable, and Daedalus is honestly incredibly sweet at times. I'm not too fond of Lillie, but that doesn't mean her character wasn't done well, it made perfect sense. To me, she's just not a likable person, but not all characters should be.So, yes, the series has its flaws, whether you are a fan of the pen & paper or not. But it's still a pretty good series, and well worth watching.

MystikIcon I watched this show, being a fan of the roleplaying game. I found that of course like most shows or movies based on various earlier forms, it lacked the structure of it's original outline. This could be overlooked if it only had excellent actors, interesting plots lines, and prehaps some realism (real to the situation). One main problem with this show was thinking of these undead beings, having lived hundreds of years, and falling in love with every woman they crossed paths with. They are dead, thus with the except of their brain, their organs don't function. I don't care if you know the game or not, that is just the way it is. I know this series was created by those who brought us Charmed, and that love aspect worked pretty well with that show though at times it was entirely too much. I feel that it was inapproiate for this show. Also, RPG aside, the prince should come across as a high political figure... yet he seems to do all the dirty work himself. Both in the game, and in my opinion he would use a sheriff or some kind of right hand man to carry out his orders. Sunlight is another thing... it really takes away from the beauty and mystery that is the vampire when they can manipulate their only true, universal weakness they have. Just like with Blade, it makes me cringe at the thought of a vampire walking into broad daylight with no concern what so ever. They also took all the stereotypes of each of the few clans they included in this series and blew them way out of propotion, not to mention completely screw with the Assamites. A few good parts of the show, namely why I didn't give it a 1, was some plots had a chance to come to fruition... only to fail at climax of the episode. They did also keep a few things true to the game: the names of clans, certain aspects of those clans, blood tears, beastal nature, and some parts of their political structure. Of the entire cast, only the prince played by Mark Frankel, was the only decent enough actor to mention. Sadly he died in a motorcycle accident shortly after making the series. Though if you have never played the game, don't care about vampires much, only require minimal acting talent, and love drama especially dealing with love (perhaps a huge Charmed fan) then this show may peek your interest. Don't get too excited though, there was only 8 episodes ever made.

Bre McGowan This set has it all...Danger, intrigue, Love, Loathing, Desire and Death. The darkness is irresistible. Without a doubt one of the better series that came out in the 90's but was deemed "too sexy for T.V." by the critics. If they'd have just waited for Buffy to come out it would have been a hit, possibly even more popular than Buffy. The characters are unforgettable. Julian is without a doubt the Prince of the City. I absolutely loved the chemistry between Cash and Sasha. Daedales gave the true meaning to the word vampire. And the clan war?! Without a doubt...a must see. Without a doubt, the bad guys are bad, the good guys naughty, and the characters will stay with you long after the credits roll!!!

WendyH1171 I too was an avid watcher of the show/movie and was very sad to see it end. I thought it was a fast moving show and I wish they would do a new season of it. I loved the different stories and how they always stayed on topic. I miss watching it and recently founds it for sale and bought the first season. And that was the only season out there. I was thinking it was 2 seasons. I can't wait to watch it all over again from the beginning. I remember a lot of the show, but it will be great to watch it again. I also loved Julian's character he was so cute, but still deadly. All in all the show was awesome and I wish they would put it back on the air!!!
