Quite cool and unusual for a vampire movie. The structure of the film is a bit like Kurt Wimmers equilibrium with a subdued religious tone. It is a world after a plague that has wiped out large part of humanity.... Full review

This film's premise is original, far beyond the traditional Vampire genre. A new, genetically empowered race of human/vampire like creatures has come forth, first despised but finally accepted as protectors of humanity. Early on we are told that this race... Full review

Critics Reviews
Exclaim! Canada
That setup doesn't sound like it would make for too bad a film but Perfect Creature really is terrible.....The cast and crew seem so excited by the basic ideas of the film....they overdo everything, suffocating all potential in hammy acting, overindulgent stylisation, schizophrenic editing and a plethora of cheap effects..... ...

Qwipster's Movie Reviews
While it certainly impresses in terms of the concepts, production values, acting, and direction, where Perfect Creature fails is in generating excitement through plot momentum.
Perfect Creature is a grungy, stolid vampire film that generates intrigue in spots, but not enough to elevate it into the realm of worthwhile entertainment for those not already fascinated by the allure of science-based horror films.

Sci-fi and superhero fans may also enjoy "Perfect Creature" as well.
Mini-Review: "Perfect Creature" went straight to DVD in the US, but I think it certainly deserved better.
She also handles herself well in the action scenes.

Dougray Scott is fantastic.
Burrows is beautiful and, as this character, seems strong but almost ethereally delicate.
For the rest of us, however, I can strongly recommend this movie as a suspenseful and fanciful trip to a murky and romantic world.
