This is one of those movies that sneaks up and surprises you. I wasn't sure what to think when the movie started. I quickly came to love the steampunk alternate world and was happy that the movie didn't depend on that feel throughout.

The story is fairly simple as plots go. In an alternate world, 300 years ago, a race of vampires was created after some genetic experiments. These vampires however peacefully coexisted with the humans and even, of all things, formed a church known as the Brotherhood. (It should be noted, for some reason, only males were born as vampires.) However, as the story opens, one Brother has become insane and violent and is killing humans. The chase to stop him is the core focus of the movie.

I really liked this movie. The atmosphere hooks you and the unique story keeps you. The acting was quite good as well. My only complaint might be that the plot was a bit simple, even if it was different.

All told, I recommend this movie if you want to see something different than the usual fare.
