Review of Perfect Creature (2007) by Denise H — 13 Sep 2010
Rated it 4 stars because of the novel theme here with vampires and humans co-existing in an alternate type of universe. Loved how the "brotherhood" was modeled after the Catholic church (vampires are priest-like characters who spend their long lives protecting humans, while humans donate their blood by going to church).
Dark, brooding film that was a bit confusing due to shifts in time periods (remember it's an alternate universe...not historical earth). That part of the film needed work. Elias (a vampire and a brother) becomes interested in a police detective (Lilly) who is attacked by a rogue vampire (Edgar--the 1/2 brother of Elias).
Edgar has rebelled against a life of service to humans because vampires are a "higher" life form than humans. He spreads a virus among humans in the poor part of town and Elias must do battle with him to save humanity and Lilly, and restore the faith of the humans in the Brotherhood.
Plot needed more explanations at times but it kept me watching all the way through to the end.
