"The Union between Man and Vampire is over."
We have five copies of this DVD to give away to Interactioneers (and five more in December's issue of Black Static).
Imagine a world where vampires and humans live peacefully alongside each other and where the thirsty bloodsuckers are the next step in human evolution. 1960s Nuovo Zelandia is just such a place. For 300 years, vampires and humankind have lived in harmony. Until now. This delicate balance suddenly looks set to be destroyed as one of the vampires has started to do what no other vampire has done before – to hunt down and prey upon human beings. If the news gets out, the fragile bond that exists between the two races will be shattered forever.
Dougray Scott (Mission Impossible 2, Enigma, Ripley’s Game) stars as Silus, who is sent out to catch the renegade vampire, Edgar. Joining forces with a human police captain played by Saffron Burrows (Troy, Enigma), Silus must track Edgar down quickly, as he is becoming increasingly dangerous and insane. But as they soon discover, Edgar harbours dark secrets.
Perfect Creature is the second feature by writer/director Glenn Standring whose debut became one of New Zealand's most successful film exports.
The R2 DVD is available on 22nd October. If you haven't seen the film you can google reviews easily enough. I think that the Nuovo Zelandia stuff is wonderfully realised, and it looks beautiful, so while it may not be the most exciting film around I reckon it's worthy of your collection. It has the feel (and ending) of a very high quality pilot episode, and I'd want to see more.
