      Tim Grierson Screen International This moody drama works better as commentary than as a compelling narrative: while it has fun playing with genre conventions, it never really provides a story that viewers can sink their teeth into. Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT With its fantastic wardrobe and sprawling set pieces, the film looks absolutely gorgeous. The creature design is fantastic and there are montages mixed in that set it apart from other creature features. Dec 3, 2023 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film The satire isn’t subtle but has to balance the fact that much of what we see is essentially propaganda created by the vampire elite. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting Empire V has a fresh take on vampirism, complete with its own distinct set of rules and complemented by Ginzburg’s highly stylized visuals. Despite uneven pacing and an antiquated approach to sex & gender, there's a timely relevance to the class critique Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness It’s a bit of an ouroboros philosophically, but Ginzburg threads the needle well enough that the questions linger when the action stops. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 30, 2023 Full Review Kat Hughes THN A back-biting social commentary on modern Russia and the ‘vampires’ who run it, Empire V has some progressive ideas for the vampire genre, but ultimately gets a little stuck in its attempts at reinvention. Rated: 3/5 Jul 30, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
