A different spin on the vampire story involving a clockwork scarab, an alchemist, an antique dealer and his granddaughter...and Ron Perlman. Not the least bit scary but pleasantly entertaining. Oh and there's the immortality-obsessed dying guy. Always have to have one of those. I actually don't have a lot to say about this other than that I enjoyed it. The granddaughter was kind of creepy, though. She's like 8 but accepts her granddad turning into the walking dead like he only got a bad skin rash and had a bout with narcolepsy.
This film is subtitled so if you're anti-reading, you've been warned.
Directed by famed Hellboy director, Guillermo Del Toro. It was in my queue forever just because of that.
