He revisits here, and even captures the theme of vampires and especially that of immortality. We find the themes dear to the director as well as a real imaginary creativity with so little : small cast, very little decor, rather mediocre photography and music. We really feel the film broke especially as it has aged (it is already 28 years old). We often criticize remakes, but I would be really curious to see our dear director make one of his own film with the means he could have today (when we see the budget he had for Pacific Rim for example). I think one could be very surprised, for good or maybe even for bad.

I liked this film. It was a zombie movie with obscure humor. Ron Perlman was fantastic along with the practical effects. If you like traditional horror (mid 20th century), this one is for you.

A story that started out great and intriguing, and one that ended suddenly with a very bad conclusion. The plot was mysterious first, but as time progressed, it remained a mystery and thus it felt boring as many questions were left unanswered. The story was predictable, the characters were not very interesting and the acting was not great either...

New take on gothic horror. Exceptionally made with a character driven plot. With enough gore and chills for horror fans who like a good story. I enjoyed the whole concept. Please watch you won't be disappointed.

This is not your typical vampire movie. It's a stylistic, beautiful portrayal of the love between a grandfather and his granddaughter. It does new things with the vampire myth and it is the most touching Gothic love story. You can feel that this was a movie made by a man with an explosive imagination and a lot of heart put into what he was making. It is an intelligent and thought provoking film that shows vampires in a different light. This is certainly a great first film that leads into a great career for Guillermo Del Toro. Whether it's foreign films, or mainstream American Hollywood, Del Toro projects visions on the screen of unbelievable creativity and his stories are always sprinkled with a little bit of his childhood.

English please. Not very entertaining. I tried.....couldn't do it

This film accomplished absolutely nothing as a vampire flick. No good effects, a drawn out story, and an attempt at horror which ends in regret as a viewer. I've seen almost every vampire film from 'Subspecies' to 'Interveiew with a Vampire' to 'Fright Night' etc. and believe me, this is more of a empathy flick than horror. I must admit that there was rather 'above average' acting, but the story was really lacking. Mabe worth a rental but definitely not an addition worthy to anyone's collection. suggestions: Do yourself a favor and pick up John Carpenter's 'Vampires' or Leif Jonker's 'Darkness'.
