The storytelling that veers between amateurishness and the kind of oddball dreams you wake up scratching your head about.

While this might sound like the outline of a horror film, director Iwai Shunji's remarkable film Vampire is in truth a quiet, dark, and intense drama, a strange take on the vampire myth, and an oddly compelling love story.

Vampire is an agonizing bore, traipsing along on the assumption that just because it is trying to be different, that does not make it special.

Kudos to the director for trying to tell an "art house" vampire flick. Soft and tender at times, the pacing both helped and hurt. An interesting beginning gave way to wandering and the film didn't find its way again until too late for most. Surprisingly solid performance from Zegers.

First off this is NOT a typical vampire movie, but a strangely hypnotic film regardless. It is a beautifully shot Canadian film, created by a Japanese director and American and Canadian cast. It is also based on some true events in Japan. It is more of an uncomfortable commentary on human blood-thirst and a controversial look at suicidal obsession and isolation from depression.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Missed it at HKIFF years back, have been looking for it for years, & finally. Shunji Iwai's own aesthetic interpretation in Western Cinema. Not as delicate as his work for local Japan market, yet much better than expected upfront already.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Shunji Iwai was clearly trying to do something different with his take on the vampire and serial killer genres, but the movie really doesn't work, coming off more like a pretentious bore than anything scary or sinister.
