Review: I confess to you right away: I’m not a fan film about vampires. However, I am in the Holy trembling from the universes of film Full Moon. Of course, in the portfolio of the film is full of garbage, but, nevertheless, lack in it and is not something that has decent films and, I dare say, brilliant! The matter is that «Subspecies» concern just brilliant films in the performance of the Full Moon. The most important thing that is worth mentioning: the shot of the movie where they belonged – in the homeland of many vampire stories in Romania. The stunning surroundings of the ruins of the Romanian castles creates the right atmosphere dirty, dusty middle ages.

The most interesting thing however is not in the entourage of the «Subspecies», as if the scenery and remained empty and lifeless, about them and it would make no sense to speak. For a stunning effect of the presence of praise, the work of a competent people responsible for creating the history of film. It is seen that the writers have tried most, if not all exactly the most part of the Romanian myths dedicated to just being vampires in our world. Mysterious, hard atmosphere «Subspecies» plays an important role along with narration, thanks to which it emerges. Thus, every detail in the film can not exist separately from each other, together they form a whole and indivisible picture.

Once I touched the narrative, I can’t forget to mention about the story of this film. Of course, for the person who reconsiders a couple of hundred of vampire movies, no revelation «Subspecies» do not appear, but if you want, here you can discover a reference to all the most significant statements on the subject of vampires. Most importantly, the movie didn’t seem compilation, that is cheap meeting of all deprived of their own pride and a sense that it frequently happens with the works of the Full Moon. The fact is that the film «Subspecies» quite the contrary wants to be considered in isolation from the rest of the cinema. In this case, the Full Moon really deserved flattering words in his address. Needless to say, probably the success of «Subspecies» resulted in his and translation of «Transers» on medieval «rails». It is strange that the theme of vampires not appeared in «Lord of the dolls», the most famous TV show Full Moon. I think one vampire as a doll’s not how much damage the franchise.

The verdict. The flick is unexpectedly high quality vampire film, shot in medieval surroundings Romanian castle ruins. I won’t recommend this film to viewing the fans of the vampire theme, but if you, like myself, uneven breathing to film the Full Moon and its artwork, you definitely should get acquainted with «Subspecies».
