Meshing stylishly executed set pieces with del Toro’s eye for the macabre, this exhilarating and visceral blockbuster draws upon the comic book created by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan. It concerns the titular anti-hero’s attempts to stop a new super-race of indiscriminate blood guzzlers from taking over the world. A perfect fit for del Toro’s dark sensibilities, it’s a deliriously kinetic vampire martial arts movie powered by kick-ass action sequences.
