Guide Review - Perfect Creature DVD Review
A super advanced species called The Brotherhood lives among us mortal humans. This special breed of vampires don't suck on people's necks. Instead they conduct research to help better the lives of those without extended canine teeth.
That changes when one of The Brothers breaks from tradition and hunts humans. One of the most revered and respected of The Brothers, Silus (Dougray Scott), is tasked with finding the rogue Brother and containing him in The Brotherhood's headquarters. But containing the killer (who turns out to be Silus' brother) isn't easy because he's stronger and more cunning than his fellow vampires. He's also got a genetically engineered disease running through his blood and he wants to unleash it on the innocent people who live in the town nearest the headquarters.
The Bonus Features
Although the two featurettes are well put together and do offer a lot of insider information on Perfect Creature, they're really just about what viewers have come to expect. In other words, unless you're really into checking out Making Of featurettes, you can skip these featurettes and you won't be missing out on anything special.
Besides those two behind-the-scenes bits, the only other thing on the DVD is the film itself. There aren't any deleted scenes or commentary tracks to be found which is a shame as a commentary track might have been interesting to listen to, especially during some of the stunt sequences.
