'Vampires Vs Werewolves'
Sounds at best like a comic book, at worst like a cheesy low budget, laughably bad piece of horror. If youre prepared to look beyond this you will be rewarded by a well written gothic thriller that is quite a treat. Take ideas from blade, the matrix, mix with traditional gothic ideals, and even a pinch of classic period drama (I cannot really explain the period drama references without giving away large pieces of the plot but on so many levels this could have easily been rich vs poor, black vs white, the families of romeo and juliet you name it, I kid you not) but its all bought back down to earth with some matrix style action which actually works better and is more convincing in this film. In short its a well written story which steals ideas from all over the place but works with them to make them better and more convincing than those films the ideas were stolen from. Screams for a sequel. Watch with an open mind and be rewarded. Id also like to point out this film also raises the bar with some excellent acting, particularly from Kate. |
