I'm giving Demon Under Glass a generous 6 out of 10. The idea behind it is original and has a lot of potential. The opening scenes are quite good, although they reminded me of the scenes in Predator 2 when the feds are trying to capture the Predator. I have mixed feelings about Predator 2 but I thought it was a promising start.
It gets better after that and it's initially quite engaging. As the film progresses though, you get the sense that the situations are becoming more and more contrived.
At first, the dialog seems to be making the point that the vampire isn't supernatural but then the writers change their mind and need to use his supernatural powers to advance the plot. That part just doesn't really work and it felt rushed. I thought it could have worked if there had been more dialog with the vampire and if they could have done things a bit more intelligently.
I reckon this is the kind of film that could actually do with a reboot. If you fix the flaws and deal better with the supernatural elements I think Demon Under Glass could be a great vampire movie!
