This visually stunning spectacle oscillates between classic and modern vampire horror, post-apocalyptic sci-fi, action, western and romance. A touching, beautiful romance. The banal story has more layers than you'd guess after absorbing the basic info and manages to grab your heart and shake it hard at many points (the final scene is downright heavenly). A few dialogues about the tragic past and the unfortunate fate of the characters certainly don't hamper the speed with which D hurtles forward. Blades spark against each other, music blares, adrenaline soars. And at any moment you can turn your mind away from the action and just marvel. I hadn't even recovered from the talking hand that glosses over the actions of its "wearer" and already my jaw was dropping at the sight of one of the villain's henchmen, whose belly literally clenches his fangs as he transforms into a werewolf. The last minutes are a visual orgy. Excuse my uncritical enthusiasm, I've found the vampire in me.
