  Though Leo Gregory as the villain of the piece gives the best performance I've seen from him since Green Street Hooligans, the true star of Perfect Creature is the world itself. Though I'm not sure why they bothered to make the setting an "Alternate reality 1960's" since it looks nothing like the 1960's (far earlier) and even if it did, the alternative universe thing would explain that enough. Still, weird decision aside, the land Writer/Direct Glen Standring has crafted for his narrative to live in, is far and away the best part of the movie. There's some great style choices too, which readily compliment the setting. Unfortunately, where Perfect Creature falls in its story. Not only are the events that unfold extraordinarily convoluted and yet still somehow underdeveloped, a large chunk of said story is outright uninteresting. That all said, there is enough backing Perfect Creature for me to come out of it with a recommendation, even if by the slimmest of margins.

  Perfect Creature was one of those films that I had high hopes for. Unfortunately, I was let down, and left very disappointed in what I saw. The film had the potential something terrific, but instead it's a total mess of a film. The concept of the film, I have say was very good, unfortunately the execution of a good story, never develops and the film is awful. Which, I think is a terrible thing because the idea of the films plot was very original and intriguing. However, the direction the film takes is poor, and director Glen Standring seems like he can't direct anything good about his interesting script. This had to be the most interesting twist on vampire mythology in quite some time, it's a great shame that the cast and plot don't deliver despite the promising idea for the plot. The films problem is that there's a great concept at work here, but everything else is boring, uninteresting and in the end it makes you bored out of your mind. I think Perfect Creature is one of those films of which had the potential of being so much better than what it turned out to be. This just goes to show that when a director with no experience helms a film with a good concept like this, it ends up being a total dud. As a vampire film, Perfect Creature fails despite the good idea for its plot.

  I really thought I would like this. It has a good idea for a story with a vampire race living along side humans in an alternate world. That was one of the let downs as the alternate world is like a mish mash of Victorian times mixed with 60's technology, steam powered cars? Why this setting? Could have been a lot better along the line of Underworld, Equilibrium.....but falls way short.

  It reminded me of Underworld, though the two plots are very different, mainly because the world they create is perhaps the most interesting thing about the film for me. Otherwise, despite the few touching moments I couldn't find any real interest in the plot, or the characters. The one thing that could work when all this fails - the sex appeal - was also absent. Nice idea, shame about the result.
