Radu is back and he still gives the best performance. Anders Hove and Denise Duff are once again excellent and have a great cast to perform with. The special effects were better but the story itself is one of dark contemplation and loss. The setting is moody, dark and atmospheric, no sparkly vampires here. Radu goes from being a noble and feared man to a vampire doomed to roam the night in search of. Helena, the woman he rescued and the mother of his half brother Stefan. He also searches for something of beauty, such as music to give him some comfort in his increasingly dark existence.
This is a worthy entrance into the Subspecies series and I hope we get another one, because they are getting better and better. Radu is not just a vampire, but a man who has lost his humanity. A creature to be feared but pitied as well for his loneliness and loss of his human self. While lighter on gore, it is heavy in story, mood and tone.
