Critic Reviews

  • , Time Out

    These vampires have no teeth -- hell, they don't even fly.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    I've been waiting a long time to see a Shakespearean werewolf vampire movie and here it is.

  • David Edelstein, Slate

    125 minutes is a long time to stare at a movie that's basically in bleached blue-and-white with occasional splotches of brick red.

    [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] I've always been a fan of the whole lycan vs vampire genre and this is one movie that fits right into the category. Underworld may be uninspired and outstretched but its unique style and amazing action… More
