CGiii Comment

Acne, curry and a tap...three things you would be hard-pressed to associate with a vampire movie.

Bear with it...you may be pleasantly surprised.

Horror is a notoriously difficult genre to do on a budget...however, Iván Noel has dug deep and produced a little gem of a film.

Dressing the kids in white is a mini-masterstroke...it looks truly cinematic.

And the kids...what an extraordinary looking bunch. Kudos to the casting director.

It's not a perfect film - far from it - but, it has to be admired, it has vision...humour, beauty and savagery all feature in a smorgasbord of refreshing inventiveness.

Give Iván Noel a bigger budget and there's no telling what he'll produce.

Impressive.

The(ir) Blurb...

Limbo is a secluded colony of child-vampires who are anything between 4 and 120 years old, all having all been victims of 'shameless' adult vampires. They are led by a formidable and deeply religious old ex-nurse whose destiny in life is to find these 'lost souls', and bring them of age in her colony. Through teaching, religious rituals adapted from the Catholic faith, and the occasional visit to local towns for blood, she is preparing them for what God had in mind for them: the replacement old the common and 'deeply sinful' human, and the creation a new race of men through 'natural cloning', or in more lay terms, their infection by her children. But they are not the only such colony in the world, nor are they as 'secluded' from outside threats as they think.
