Manhattan Undying

Maybe I saw too many vampire movies ? I found this one as cliché as possible. Nightclubs full of lost souls, drugs and alcohol, sex and nihilism... The lead is supposed to be a tortured artist yet behaves more like a moody teenager. The art worl depiction is superficial.

Still, some good points : although unoriginal, the aesthetics are perfect. I also appreciate the ending, that is the choice of both leads with regards to immortality. It suits the theme of the movie.

I give five stars : I would have loved it were I still a teenager. The pacing, the tone, the theme remind me of an Anne Rice - like novel.

No good casting, slow storyline, unfortunately a bit boring

I've had this on my watch list for sometime and was surprised Not the violent type that is typical of vampire movies. Did not end like I thought it would and that's the only thing I found disappointing in the film. I would of made a different choice if I was that artist in that predicament.

Excellent movie! Touching, moving, romantic...I could go on with adjective after adjective. If you like unique quality movies in the Vampire Genre, that is skewed to Romance rather than violence, but with a great story behind it, then you will love this movie. The lead lady, although her spoken word is unlearned, her facial acting was spot on, and that is what is needed for this movie. And the leading man, well, he is great at capturing a Tortured artist. Not every movie has to be full of sex and violence to be good. Even though some reviewers seem to think it's mandatory. Also, the musical score is fitting and beautiful. This will not be everyone's cup of tea but it will move others!

So the idea of this movie might seem good at first. You are a vampire and you want a painter to paint your picture. Why?Well probably because you can't see yourself in the mirror but this is a really thin idea and very under developed. You got people swearing and smoking all the time and people taking drugs. You've got detectives trying to find a vampire murder but we don't care much about anybody in this film because nobody's really interesting. And the nudity is of the uninterested kind ,short,sideways,mostly in the dark like the director had a strong desire not to excite anybody.Still can't understand why movies like this get financed.
