Dylan Dog: Dead of Night Reviews
Completed with low-rent production values and an over-reliance on exposition, the outcome feels like a failed SyFy Channel series pilot.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 7, 2023
The plot is so bland and uninspired that all the gruesome practical effects in the world couldn't save it from monotony.
| Original Score: 2/10 | Nov 30, 2020
Quite nearly dead on arrival.
| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is agreeable and diverting -- it's just not especially distinctive.
| Original Score: B- | Feb 15, 2019
It's entertaining enough, and the cast is great, but there's just not enough meat on the bones to really make it work as well as it should.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 4, 2018
Dylan Dog: Dead Of Night is a fun comedy/horror whodunnit with a supernatural twist. It delivers plenty of movie fun too, just like those campy 80's monster flicks.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Mar 25, 2013
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 22, 2013
Fun performances from Routh and Huntington can't make up for an extremely convoluted and mostly soulless story -- even when there's a giant zombie running around.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 2, 2012
A pointless, very loose adaptation of the popular Italian comic that plays like a bad episode of Buffy.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 29, 2012
Dylan Dog works best when it has fun with P.I. conventions; when the monsters take over, it goes downhill.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 29, 2011
The movie wants to be a combination film noir and horror comedy, but the timing is all off and the performances are flat across the board.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 9, 2011
the whole shebang plays out like a twisted Murder She Wrote episode
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 25, 2011
It's no surprise that Dylan Dog is being billed as a comedy in the U.S., since that is the one element that works.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 10, 2011
...a disappointingly lifeless adaptation...
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 26, 2011
Entirely derivative and utterly wretched.
| Original Score: 0/4 | May 17, 2011
Isn't awful, but it is awfully familiar,...coming across as something that might appear on the SciFi Network on a Saturday night.
| Original Score: C- | May 15, 2011
There's one fight scene involving a rope and a pulley that briefly lifts the general torpor, but as soon as that's over, it's back to snoozeville.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | May 13, 2011
Everybody else will have a better time revisiting Monster Squad or falling asleep.
| Original Score: 0/5 | May 13, 2011
The film longs to be a hip skewering of noir and monster movies but instead is kneecapped by mediocre effects, indifferent performances and a generally dull design.
Full Review | May 9, 2011
Even if the whole vampires vs. werewolves thing hadn't already been done to un-death by True Blood and the Twilight and Underworld franchises, Dylan Dog would still be a crushingly dull 107 minutes.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | May 6, 2011
