Perfect Creature

Good Cop - Vampire Cop. Perfect Creature is ironically far from being a perfect movie. It's one of those frustrating cases where on the page it looks a smart premise, while the visuals and atmospherics are classy and inventive. Yet it's told in such a dull and uneventful way, managing to strangle the cast's skills whilst wasting the serial killer - cum - rogue vampire promise. Then there's the thematics that are given over to exposition drivel, the science, the ethics, and tolerance and evolution, wasted as we had towards an action scene, none of which is particularly special. It's bold attempt at steampunkish horror, but sadly it's not all it can be. 5/10
