word fail me whenever i want to describe my feeling about this movie ( and the sequel ) . do it have flaw . sure it do . start with the subspecies themselves and which be not execute well enough for a special effect . so why do i glorify these movie . for the herd of movie mass consumer out there and who care more about quantity than quality and about cheap fun more than about depth and crap like blade ( it doesn not even deserve a capital letter ) and underworld and dracula 2000 and dracula 3000 and so on be good movie to munch popcorn to and drink a couple of coke . what make subspecies a superior effort for anyone claiming to be a vampire fanatic and on the other hand and be obvious represent the vampire himself be romanian and the story be set in transylvania ( the scene film on location be more than convincing ) and and the atmosphere be not base on any action pack chase or expensive orchestral music . radu himself be the source of the atmosphere . this be what a vampire should look like and this be how he should behave . add a breathtakingly gloomy castle with dark passageway situate in romania and include some typical vampiric element ( such a the movement of the shadow on the wall when the vampire take to flight ) and you have a work of art . in short and if and like me and you re fascinate with vampire and feel that their appearance as well a the setting should be sinister and dark and there no good place to look in than in a subspecies movie . or in vampire journal and the brilliant spin off of the former .
