SUBSPECIES V: BLOODRISE
The prequel, 25 years later/in the making?! Woah.
Did Subspecies just solidify itself as the best/most consistent Full Moon franchise/series? Maybe.
Yet, somehow maybe one of the 5 + spinoff makes it into my FM top 20, but I legitimately enjoy them all! Tells you something about Full Moon Features π
Anders Hove as Radu is a really unique, classic goth vampire take. Definitely deserves more credit after all these films. Great to see him and Deniceβ¦
I do not know everything about Warhammer, but I got my reasons for finally watching this. It has its moments for sure, and is not "bad", but I can't help and feel this was a missed opportunity for a really awesome movie and story.
a missed opportunity? Too many cooks (4 writers?)?
Some stuff to like, and I love David Gordon Green. but he and McBride and co kinda missed the landing on this one for concluding the trilogy. Feels so unfocused the first 2 acts (or focused on other things). We are all watching for the Laurie and Michael legacy and conclusion. The whole approach to this one and its story just didnt gel with me. Maybe as a filler second film orβ¦
Pretty cool. Pretty weird!
A fun jam for sure. The comparisons to Malignant are nice. I like both I'd say. The twisty stuff in here is worthwhile, some wont be on board for it, but overall, I was.
Really cool cast and some solid surprises throughout. Definitely leans into some of the goofs while still maintaining a certain style, atmosphere, and trying to say a little something.
Big fan of Justin Long. And would recommend to horror fans. I'd argue It's got some experimentation going on, too.
5 castle freaks (out of 5)
