Many, many, MANY moons ago, I watched a deliciously weird movie from our Russians friends. I loved it, because the Russian bent is so unusual to the western mind. It was strange and exciting, although I never knew the the name of it. I have thought about it a number of times since, hoping I would catch it again, but never have.
Still, this English overdubbed Russian movie has all the elements of that deliciously strange movie - strange cinematography, little snippets of weirdness so easy to miss and story elements that makes no effort to explain itself so you are forced to pay attention. I have finally found another wonderful piece of Russian weirdness that I haven't seen the likes of for years, and it was great fun. Something like what you would expect to see in an alternative cinema like the Dendy.
What is even better is that this is a sequel, so I still have the original to look forward to. It's a little bit more sexual than I would prefer but such is the world of movies. The introduction of the beautiful Alyssa in the red sports car will blow you away! And the Russian penchant for realistic alternative history is also there. Great fun.
Oh, and what is about? I guess you could call it a spy thriller or crime drama in the world of vampires. 'Nuff said. So if you are a fan of action and don't mind it mixed in with the strange and unusual, this is a must see.
