A rare role for Christopher Lambert in a Polish film, set almost entirely around the dark city streets of a local city. Agnieszka Grochowska's character is the focus however, and she plays the restrained, kindly Ania very well as she deals with the challenge of having an injured murder suspect in the boot of her Limo whilst trying to keep Lambert's capricious character happy.
The film is low-key and has minimal action but is an atmospheric and pleasant character drama. I'm guessing it perhaps wasn't a big hit in Poland, as we haven't seen much else from the writer/director.

This is a very short (46 minutes) Aussie film that is rather creepy and disturbing, particularly at the beginning, and I wouldn't recommend it for children under the age of 12.
Things brighten up considerably once the action shifts to the beautiful Australian bush, and it tells an enjoyable story of comradeship between two 12 year old girls, and young ladies of a similar age should find it at least sporadically enjoyable.

Being a big fan of Christopher Lambert and of "traditional" type Vampires, I was delighted to hear a couple of years ago that 'Metamorphosis' was happening.
Although the writers of 'Metamorphosis' were enthusiastic to portray an "original" take on Vampirism like most modern movies featuring our fanged friends do, they are still beautiful, genteel ladies and gentlemen and not a street-gang speaking in "cool" Buffy-type slang.
Mostly shot in Hungary straight after Lambert's 'Day of Wrath,' Christopher clearly enjoys playing the bad guy here, and gives us a performance that I would describe as Lord Rayden in a nastier mood. As usual, his character is a mix of dark and light, but I wish the script had allowed a bit more of an insight into his character as the write-up on the official site indicated there might be.
Irena A. Hoffman is everything you could want in a seductive Vampire, and I look forward to seeing her in other things. Scenes with her or Lambert as the main focus are certainly the most enjoyable in the movie, as the three American tourists (in real life, one Canadian, and two English) aren't very interesting.
Corey Sevier is adequate as Keith, but Jennifer Higham and particularly Charlie Hollway are stuck playing irritating, unfunny characters.
The rest of the cast is filled out by some suitable looking Hungarians, and the production is assisted by the use of genuine medieval locations.
Metamorphosis is a little light on blood and Vampire action, and struggles a bit to keep it's plot moving, but I enjoyed it.
