Perfect Creature is a highly original retelling of the vampire myth set in an alternate version of the 1960s and 70s, as science fiction and horror coalesce in a suspenseful, elegant action film about race, serial killings and the capacity of human beings to hope.
Set during the 1960s in an alternate New Zealand known as Nuovo Zelandia, PERFECT CREATURE imagines a world where vampires and humans peacefully co-exist, with the bloodsuckers the next step in human evolution. This delicate balance looks to be destroyed when an influenza epidemic begins to sweep the human population and one vampire turns to preying on humans. The church sends out Silus to catch the renegade vampire, Edgar. Silus joins forces with a human police captain, and discovers that Edgar harbors dark secrets.
Oh, I really wanted this film to be better.

So much potential with the alternative reality and the wet gritty feel of it all. The interactions between the characters held the possibility of layers of intrigue and backstory which could have led to spin offs into other media.

But it plays like a hastily written love story wedged into an interesting world view. Just when the story seems ready to move into an action sequence, it gets all boring and at the exact moment you expect some deeper relationship exposition, it stumbles onwards to progress the action.

The acting is great (even if a number of the actors are regular players on New Zealand TV and film), cinematography and editing is OK but nothing special, and the effects are passable for the budget. As an overall look it scores well, but it is no white knuckle ride.

My immediate comparison is to a films like Night Watch/Day Watch, Blade, Dark City or Underworld. Budget aside, these other films score so much better because they seem to get the pacing right. Ultimately, I found that I struggled to sit through the whole thing. I just kept thinking of other things I could be doing ... it just didn't engage me as it should have.

I'd still recommend seeing this film as it does throw up some cool ideas and grim images. But don't expect action and adventure at every turn. I have to admit that I only watched half the movie, that's how it failed to connect with any interest I might have in watching DOUGRAY SCOTT assume a vampire role. Scott's idea of the vampire look is one of dull incomprehension, sniffing the air like a dog and walking through the role like a zombie with nowhere to go.

He's at a big disadvantage here because the script and direction leave a lot to be desired. Normally, he's a good enough actor to look as though he has command of a role but this character completely misses any kind of strong interpretation.

On the other hand, LEO GREGORY does a fine, snarling job (he can scowl like nobody else I've seen), a more vicious specimen than his brother. The story starts out effectively and looks as though it's going to have the potential of being a vampire story with a twist--but then gets bogged down into one dull scene after another until finally, as a viewer, I had enough.

Whether it picks up steam after sagging toward the middle, I'll never know. And I'll never find out because I don't intend to revisit it.
Perfect Creature is based on a screenplay by New Zealand film maker Glenn Standring (who also directed the movie). The movie opens with a note that says the story takes place in "a world not unlike our own," so it can be assumed that it takes place on another planet or in some alternate reality. It was filmed in New Zealand, but most viewers say that the setting reminds them of 1940s Europe with some 19th century Dickens thrown in á la Steampunk. In the movie, the setting is Jamestown, a slum district of some bigger, unnamed city. Steampunk is a term used to describe fiction/fantasy movies in which the world runs on steam power as in the 19th century but may have elements of 20th century technology, e.g., televisions, dirigibles, cellphone-like communication devices, etc., or conversely be styled like the 18th century or time periods long before the steam engine was invented. Like traditional vampires, they sport fangs, drink human blood, are long-lived, and have superhuman strength and speed. It is the structure of their society that makes them very different from traditional vampires. Some 300 years earlier, the vampires organized themselves into "the Brotherhood" (they are referred to as "Brothers", not as "vampires"), gained control of (or possibly merged with) the Church, live the ascetic life of monks, and provide spiritual leadership to humans. In return, parishioners tithe their blood, which the Brothers always drink out of glasses, never taking blood directly from a donor. The Brothers are also the scientists of society. Their previous research into genetic science has allowed them to discover a genetic mutation which, when combined with a certain virus, changes human babies into Brothers. In the years since the discovery, however, all genetic science has been banned. If a spontaneous birth of a vampire occurs, the new Brother is immediately taken from the mother and raised in the Church. Finally, and most tragically, there are no female vampires. Silas instructs Detective Jones to inform the press about the water and about the Brotherhood's plan to burn Jamestown to the ground. He then goes after Lilly. When Edgar and Lilly sense Silas approaching, Edgar goes looking for him while Lilly tries to free herself from the handcuffs. In doing so, she attracts the attention of an infected woman who attacks her. In their tussle, the pipe breaks and Lilly is freed. She kills the woman then goes looking for Silas. Meanwhile, Silas has heard her screams, but before he can reach her, he is attacked from behind by Edgar. The force of the attack causes them both to plummet to the ground. With Silas knocked out, Edgar tries to force some of his blood into Silas' mouth, but Silas regains consciousness in time to prevent himself from drinking any of it. Silas and Edgar viciously fight each other until Edgar manages to impale Silas on a steam pipe. Silas quickly escapes, so Edgar picks up a steampump and threatens to burn off Silas' face. A hissing is heard, but it quickly becomes apparent that it is Edgar being injected. Lilly has managed to catch up with them, grab a steampump, and plunge it into Edgar's back. Edgar falls to the ground, dead. As Silas leads Lilly away. He stops in front of a building and tells her there is something precious inside that she must take and keep secret. He then kisses her and runs off. Lilly goes inside to find a dead woman and a Brother protecting a newborn baby girl. When the baby cries, Lilly can see the tiny fangs protruding from her gums. The Brother explains that the baby is a miracle, a "perfect creature," the first female vampire created accidentally from the virus that Edgar created. Lilly takes the baby into her arms and kisses her. In the final scene, Silas stands on the ledge of a building watching Lilly and the baby through a window. In a voiceover, he reveals that he's been branded a heretic by the Brotherhood and that they are now hunting him.
