Although the characters aren't sympathetic, the film benefits from stylish period visuals, subtle treatment of its homoerotic subtext, and charismatic performances.

The full story has been sacrificed in the service of maintaining the balance between horror and fascination. And Ferro really has created a fascinating screen character.

The movie is made with skill, but it's so relentless in backing away from any psychologizing or moralizing - or just about anything else that might give us a handle on what makes this monster tick - that it finally feels like an empty horror show.

The film is well done in establishing its mood. However, it never succeeds in keeping the characters interesting.
