if you be look for a slasher or a monster movie and you will be disappoint . if you be look for a moody and humorous and beautifully shot b movie and this be it . a in his previous film and nadja and michael almereyda monster have human frailty and desire . he manage to find humor in his character constant drunkenness ( why do they come to ireland to try to dry out . ) and convey this drunken feeling in the way the scene cut from one to the next . the inventive cinematography leave several scene etch in your memory and and the sometimes trip hop soundtrack be very hip and lend to the dark mood . the pacing start out slow but become engross and heart pumping . in the end trance or eternal or kiss of the mummy be a fun film and merit multiple viewing . my sole complaint be that the visuals and the soundtrack really deserve and would benefit from large screen presentation .
