SUBSPECIES is one of those B-movies that would undoubtedly be diminished by a slicker presentation or any studio interference. It is a weird, corny, sometimes creepy love letter of vampire stories, starring one of the most memorable vampires of all time: Radu, a perpetually drooling, petty, lustful, and smarmy monster with Nosferatu fingers and a wardrobe out of THE MATRIX. I just adore this guy, a classic example of the villain you love to hate. The other characters are okay and I appreciated how the heroine was actually intelligent and active, but everyone is overshadowed by the glory that is Radu.
This won't please everyone, but it is worth seeing and super fun to watch with other people.
