The Breed Audience Reviews

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
jfwhelan Like the curate's egg' this film was good in parts, but they weren't very big parts.I have always enjoyed the twist associated with 'good vampires' and I guess I am still waiting for a film to properly use it.This film was too outré and grotesque (in the original meaning of the word) for it to have worked as anything other than an over-the-top dance-macabre of a film; a sort of Grand Guinol of the film world. Unfortunately it never really achieved this distinction and instead we are left with a mishmash of themes and failed attempts at being something that it never quite achieved.The script and the acting were pretty deplorable and the direction was anything but tight, though still one can sort of envisage what was intended; and those stolen fleeting glimpses serve to supply enough motive to keep watching. In the end this continued attention is utterly frustrating, since the ending manages to further let one down and, indeed, the rest of the film.I don't say 'Don't watch this film!' I would, however, warn you to keep you expectation low, and not to be too surprised if it fails to live up to them.
Rabensblut I love this film. Somebody wrote that this is a copy of Matrix and Blade - You fool, the idea of a special virus deadly only to vamps was used in here, not in Blade. On the contrary Blade Trinity took this idea later. Somebody wrote that they have Russianlike uniforms - hey can U imagine a vampire movie with starwars like costumes - me not.These uniforms fit in the place. I just want to open your eyes and tell the truth - the name of the club was Pravda - that means in my language the truth - and the truth is that this film was very original and interesting and I can tell U I seen lotsa Vamp flicks, this one rules. And if U like the films like Blade full of poor action and dialogues U will never understand this film. Here it is no - comeonyoudamnedbloodsuckeriwillkickyourass- here U have a good and original idea that is what makes this film 10/10
user-3133 Sometimes with cheap budget films, you can see what they might have been- and that can be both good and bad. Bad, because you can see that more money = better special effects/ more actor motivation. Good, because you can see some qualities in the film, that while rather charming in this version, would be crap in a big budget film. The Breed falls into this section.The acting is about what you'd expect, and the storyline the same, but what really, really made me actually enjoy this film for the time I watched it, was the sets. They were incredibly reminiscent of the Second World War- the propaganda posters on the walls, the typewriters, the big grey buildings all of it combined to make an atmosphere which managed to meld times totally.Definitely worth the time spent watching it- it doesn't pretend to be a masterpiece, and it's all the the better for it.
robbiebonham Did anyone else get the vibe, at the start of the movie, that the vampires were a commentary on the Jewish people? Or am I looking too much into a B- movie...? The first glimpse we get of the vampire community is a WW2 style vampire safe house, complete with said period's costumes, and the NSA's costumes are very Nazi-like. And there's the whole 'we fear them because they're a different 'ethnicity'' thing. This may have been a theme started in the movie, but of course, was forgotten as the film underwent several style-changes (by which I mean, it went off on a tangent to rip off some other movies) But yeah, as mentioned above, there were lots of scenes that paid homage to (see...ripped off) Brazil, Blade, The Matrix, Tarantino,..even Highlander. A mucky piece of work, with too many genre stereotypes, and what was with Woodbine's gruff, 'bad boy' voice?
