CGiii Comment

Arthouse headbutts a lesbian vampire...

Intentionally or unintentionally, the script is hysterical.

It's fairly atmospheric, especially when Portishead play - albeit too sparingly...all helped along by the grainy B&W.

Ultimately, it's a bore that you can't ignore...because, David Lynch's name is attached...take that name away and what are you left with...?

The(ir) Blurb...

This ultra-hip, post-modern vampire tale is set in contemporary New York City. Members of a dysfunctional family of vampires are trying to come to terms with each other, in the wake of their father's death. Meanwhile, they are being hunted by Dr. Van Helsing and his hapless nephew. As in all good vampire movies, forces of love are pitted against forces of destruction.
