![]() Once the girl was dead, he couldn’t fulfill his contract anymore, so he had no reason to kill the vampire, who he obviously identified with a bit.Īctually, the biggest problem I saw was design-wise. I’m not sure ‘in it for the money’ is the right way of looking at it. ![]() I assumed that wreckage they showed in the beginning was the remains of the City of Night, though D probably didn’t know it. The people involved have given us visually stunning films in the past that worked as fully developed movies, not a string of big sceens loosely tied together.Įxcept, I don’t think he was really letting them go. The new version is not bad, just disappointing. This reduces D’s character and weakens the movie. In the remake, that conflict has been shifted onto the full vampire, who resists biting the girl he’s kidnapped (as D resisted biting the girl he was protecting in the first film). More important, the most interesting thing about the original was D’s conflicted nature – half-human and half-vampire, trying to repress the vampire half but needing those powers in order to combat vampires. ![]() ![]() This is one of those strange cases where the film was shown with subtitles in its limited theatrical screenings in the US, while the video release was dubbed fortunately, I saw the subtitled version first and fell in love with it, and later the film came out on DVD with subtitles.Īs for the story, while the original may not have been brilliant, it was more strongly constructed than the remake, which relied on action set-pieces to boost the excitment of a lackluster scenario. I too hate the dubbed version of the original VAMPIRE HUNTER D. ![]()
