This is truly a fantastic film.

The plot meanders along giving you the sense of a spectre haunting sets as the story slowly unravels itself.

The acting is very strong making particular note to the opposing parts of the police chief and mob boss who through there own ways are both after similar goals.

the only complaints i have are with the production of the DVD its self:

1. the print is in clear need of restoration with it even braking up in parts and the contrast has be hugely lost. It amazes me that a film of such significance has been left to reach such a condition.

2. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to put white subtitles over the screen on a black and white film, it renders about half the script unreadable making the viewer more or less having to guess the ends of sentences.

3. What is with the menu screen being full of female vampires and bare breasts??? not right for a PG DVD or anything to do with the plot.
