10/10
Very much the definition of a cult film
19 July 2015
I am continually surprised by scores for film ratings on IMDb and other sites out there. Seemingly terrible films get high reviews whilst original and entertaining films are slated to suffer the indignity of being classed in the same vein as their awful bedfellows.

Perfect Creature is a film I've re-watched several times over and over because the story is just so very interesting. Set in an alternate reality that parallels our own, in the sense that it is set in Victorian New Zealand - although it might as well be London - and has a dark macbré aspect to it so works well as a horror / drama.

I really wish this had scored higher although mostly from a selfish point of view in that I want a sequel or spin-off. The storyline has enough bulk that it could have been developed into a franchise (to rival The Walking Dead) but instead it has been squeezed into this 90 minute film. The main protagonist is played by Dougray Scott, but I think Clive Owen would have worked just as well.

A great film - and especially fun for fans of Steampunk, classic Horror, and tense moody drama. Check it out today!
