I'm getting a kind of CONSTANTINE vibe, which isn't bad. It could be just a fun summer movie, hell we sure can use a lot more fun movies nowadays. But I'm definitely going to check it out.
I think the only reason I want to watch this is because of Sam Huntington starring in it. I love him in the syfy show Being Human, so this might actually be worth the time to watch. Kind of seems like an Anita Blake rip-off in a way...
So this is Dog the Monster Hunter?
That's hes name I guess....
never been a massive fan of the comic, but even so, this is not just disappointing, but fucking annoying! they got everything wrong! looks and feels like a fucking Buffy episode! FFS!
Read the comic book about him so I am really looking foreward to this!
So will I be seeing Angle werewolf, sink is teeth into some guy's ankle making him tap out just before ripping the foot off?
I sure hope so.
Is that Kurt Angle the wrestler? Well HHH got to be a vampire so why not.
ehhhh. these kind of movies tend to use too much CGI which I LOATHE in horror movies... so ill probably wait this one out or catch it on HBO.
As a fan of the original Italian comic, I'm unsure how "Americanizing" this will fly. Check out Rupert Everett's "take" of Dylan Dog in the Italian 1994 film "Dellamorte Dellamore" which was titled "Cemetary Man" for us Americans. This film was based on a novel by the author of Dylan Dog, Tiziano Sclavi.
