the unique vision of this alternate reality was strangely compelling

Hits the wall with a thud, coming up well short of its potential and only appealing to vampire movie aficionados looking for something slightly different.

I could imagine it will gain some kind of cult status because it mixes just enough new ideas with familiar treadings to set itself apart.

Good Cop - Vampire Cop. Perfect Creature is ironically far from being a perfect movie. It's one of those frustrating cases where on the page it looks a smart premise, while the visuals and atmospherics are classy and inventive. Yet it's told in such a dull and uneventful way, managing to strangle the cast's skills whilst wasting the serial killer - cum - rogue vampire promise. Then there's the thematics that are given over to exposition drivel, the science, the ethics, and tolerance and evolution, wasted as we had towards an action scene, none of which is particularly special. It's bold attempt at steampunkish horror, but sadly it's not all it can be. 5/10
