Reviews for Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
1 - 11 (sorted by date)
Top CriticIf you appreciate fine animation and edgy material, this blood's for you.
12/14/01
Top CriticBrooding, violent, and steeped in its own lore, the film is a genre pastiche that's fun to watch.
12/06/01
Top CriticA mind-blowing amalgamation of unusual elements and ambitious design, its parts are greater than the whole. But oh, what interesting parts they are.
11/01/01
Top CriticThe confusing storytelling and bad dialogue probably won't bother adult fans of sophisticated animation for whom the imaginative, elegant visuals of Vampire Hunter D should be enough to satisfy.
10/28/01
Top CriticJapanese animation takes a visual leap forward.
10/12/01
Top CriticGoes on for nearly two hours, enough to tax the patience of even the most ardent anime fans.
10/08/01
Top CriticA baroque, bloody fantasy-adventure that stubbornly remains less than the sum of its parts.
10/05/01
Top CriticThe animation, a combination of traditional and computer-generated, is beautifully detailed, dark and eerie.
09/27/01
Top CriticA handsome, well-executed film that nonetheless feels a bit long at 111 minutes.
09/21/01
Top CriticThe film looks nifty, but the flat and unemotional English-language dialogue lessens its impact.
