Very intersting vampire movie. Only for art fags and vampire lovers. Watch for the David lynch cameo!

Not without interest, but less satisfying than even an average Hammer horror.

What else do I have to endure for my newly gained Elina Löwensohn fetish? Arthouse garbage, not that arthouse is garbage, this is. Pixelizing most of the scenes is the best you can come up with....blah.

Lensed, like Abel Ferrara's contemporary _The Addiction_, in evocative black and white, this suffers from some slow stretches but compensates with several inventive variations on traditional screen-vampire lore and an eccentric but able cast, including a strong contribution from Fonda as the manic Van Helsing. David Lynch cameos as a morgue security guard.

Picture the music of Portishead, with all its grief and despair. Imagine you live forever by feeding on the innocent. On those you have to kill even though you love them. The anxiety and world-weariness of an immortal is excellently communicated in this black&white moody movie.
