Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Leofwine_draca PERFECT CREATURE is yet ANOTHER film about a future society where vampires co-exist with mankind in their own society. Yes, exactly the same type of themes that have been previously explored in the likes of BLADE, UNDERWORLD, ULTRAVIOLET, and about another zillion films I can think of. Because the setting is so familiar, PERFECT CREATURE really needed a strong storyline to make it stand out from the crowd, but you're not going to get one here.Instead what we have is a predictable action-thriller about the search for a psychotic killer. The villain of the piece is an overacting goon who plans to destroy humankind once and for all by creating a new hybrid (you know, just like in BLADE II, etc.). A human and a vampire must team up to track him down, with the human played by Saffron Burrows (DEEP BLUE SEA) who remains pretty but oddly insubstantial as an actress.As the vampiric antihero, Dougray Scott is a lot better, coming across as really imposing and sinister by underplaying it for all his worth - he's got some of the Japanese 'stone face' going on here. Sadly, the action sequences are all very routine, and the only thing this has going for it is the visual style, which brings a unique version of New Zealand to life in a clever way. At the end of the day, though, PERFECT CREATURE is just too predictable to work.
paul_sorvino In a word, Excellent. Why? Have you got all day? To begin with, solid performances by the two stars: Dougray Scott and Saffron Burrows. They do bring a touch of reality in this fantasy/SF movie.Then, the story blows you away. I must confess, I'm no stranger to vampire flicks. I've seen my share of movies pretending to bring light to myths related to vampires. But the perspective shown here is stunning: a parallel reality. A "What If?" idea, very well put together and although there were certain budget limitations their effect will not be sensed in a disturbing manner.Don't expect Nature Born Killers mixed with Underworld and Dracula, because this movie transcends the limitations of these ones.A movie of many contrast (which I leave you the pleasure of discovering), a movie of hope shining through the clouds of misery, and why not a film putting the accent on the idea that nothing good comes without a sacrifice.Enjoy!
Nick Damian It's different.It's futuristic and Gothic - with a 1930's style to it.It's a nice change from the normal Hollywood overdone blood gore fest that is a huge bore.This was fresh, with a story behind it and one that may follow.It's nice to see characters who don't all look like surfers, models or Tom Cruise/ Bradd Pitt wannabe's.It's got a cool story, good scenes and setting and the period and props relating to it was really cool.This is one of the few vampire movies that I enjoyed.While it is not at the top of my favorite films, it certainly isn't at the bottom.I would have liked to see more action and fight scenes and that would have made this much better, but it was still cool.
lastliberal It is so hard to see originality in horror, even for someone with as little experience in the genre as I have, but here is a new one for me. Vampires and humans in mutual cooperation. Humans generously give blood at the Vampire church and the Vampires protect the humans, who are coming out of a massive flu epidemic.But, one of the head Vampires (Leo Gregory) is trying to breed new ones. There hasn't been a Vampire born in 70 years because there are no females. Unfortunately, as often occurs in horror films, something goes wrong and the scientist vampire is infected.The lovely Saffron Burrows (Troy, The Galíndez File) is a cop who joins with the brother of the scientist (Dougray Scott), himself destined to lead the Church, to find the infected Vampire.Seems easy enough, but there is more to the story and that is what makes it interesting and makes for some enjoyable Vampire horror.
