In it, Leon Kauffman ( Bradley Cooper), a photographer, is attempting to find the "real" New York City. This film easily makes my top horror films of the new millennium.The Film of the short story by Clive Barker made in 2008 by Ryuhei Kitamura. I won't talk much about the gore, but I will say that this has some of the coolest blood effects ever seen in a horror film, period. The producers could have pussied out and changed the ending very easily, but they did the right thing for the story. We may know how this is going to end, but we as the audience don't want it to end this way, so we are along for the ride, hoping that somehow the character turns it all around. Some have also called the end predictable, but I call it inevitable. Many people have claimed that the film tends to drag, during the "detective" plot, but I think it is a perfect descent into the character's madness and eventual fate. Vinnie Jones of course is horrifying, but Brad Cooper is very likable and sympathetic.
It really feels like a film that was not rushed - the artists took their time to make it as beautiful as possible. What also makes the film so beautiful is the creative cinematography and the film noir lighting. Some people complain about the grain, but I think it suits the gritty gory nature of this film perfectly. It is one of the most beautiful horror films of recent memory. I enjoyed it so much, I persuaded everyone I knew to go on and watch it. Luckily I was able to watch it on FearNet.
When I saw the trailer for this film in a theater long ago, I laughed hysterically at the title, but I thought the film looked pretty cool. One of the most original horror films of the decade
