Reviews & comments
IT SUCKED !!!!
Well this movie wrecked vampire movies for so well done. It was TWO HOURS OF SOME ANNOYING VAMPIRE TILTING HIS HEAD!!. For those who have the underworld movies did any of 'Perfect creature' ring any bells ? they could re-worded underworld evolution with the whole 'My brother is out of control' Act . Tisk tisk , never watching another vampire movie as...
Harsh reviews!
This is by no means a great film, but as far as Vampire flicks go - it's highly original. It's a bit slow, but I found that refreshing and the film all the more intruiging for it. The real star of the film is the production design - it has a gorgeous look, very Kiwi but very dingy and very odd.

pressThere's so much intriguing thinking behind locally-made internationally-cast vampire flick Perfect Creature - which is matched by a bold sense of style on screen - it's hard not to enjoy the flawed result just for its grand ambitions...

pressPerfect Creature is a film that badly needs a transfusion of some of the goof and momentum of a Blade or Underworld, but instead winds up playing like the vaguely pretentious and sulky kid brother to those franchises...

pressAlthough it's nice to have a change of pace from the usual hyper-kinetic vampire stories that have dominated the last decade, Standring's characters really don't stand up to the extra scrutiny devoted to them. Scott's (Mission Impossible 2) Silas is expressionless and hence virtually characterless, like Nicolas Cage in City of Angels but with less mope, while Burrows' (Troy) cliched, troubled cop simply disappears, as if her altercation with a Dunedin tree kept her off the set for a considerable period of time...
