The Breed (2001)
9/10
Strange Vampire Movie but Weirdly Satisfying

Warning: Spoilers
The Breed is one those strange grey area films where you either like all of it, like some of it or hate it for taking up film. Me, I am sort of on the middle ground.

If you are a fan of the romantic vampire stuff, this film is not really for you. But if you like vampire stories with a strange sci-fi edge, you might get a kick out of it, especially if you are into vampire and sci-fi literature. They use a lot of name dropping of famous vamps from literature and it has an over all Gothic-steam punk feel to it and pays homage to 1984 and the old film Nosferatu, rather than Dracula.

It also serves as a buddy film/cop film as well an odd couple fish out of water sort of story. Adrian Paul and Bookem Woodbine are really strange casting choices but considering how weird the film really is, it works for me.

This film also echoes another dystopian film called Perfect Creature and goes a step further with a sort of campy over top art house vibe. Take a look at this film with an open mind. It is not a great vampire film and it is not a great sci-fi film but it is entertaining if you just relax and let it be what it is: Weirdly Satisfying.
