Lucifer M I don’t understand why this gem has such a low score/bad reviews! It’s one of the more original vampire films that’s out there, that’s for sure. Solid performances, great practical effects and cgi, beautiful cinematography and editing, awesome plot and also follows the graphic novel very well, doing it justice by sticking close to the source material. I also do agree that this film only gets better with age. I’d love to see this film get a proper sequel too. Explore this vampiric world more and in detail. One could only wish! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Audience Member The arctic, small-town vibes and the spooky atmosphere go a long way in this chiller that’s getting better with age! Hartnet and George are likable and the horror is on-point. A good time! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Tina Q One of my absolute favorite vampire movies. Solid story. Great cast. Practical effects are excellent and not over the top. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Richard R This movie has only gotten better with time. The movie has an excellent cast. It is a movie that's not like most vampire movies. The interesting and different plot definitely appealed to my liking of this movie even more. This is not just your run of the mill Transilvania vampire movie. Would highly recommend a rewatch to anyone that was displeased with it. Most movies these days have some sort of regurgitation to their plot and story line. You will not find that here. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review samuel q Criminally underrated movie. Action packed horror movie with incredible and thrilling scenes. Should be on everyone's radar for spooky season if you haven't seen it yet. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review Audience Member Thoroughly enjoyable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
