Well, first of all I should say that I am not familiar with Dylan Dog prior to having seen this movie, so I wasn't sure what I was in for and what it was all about. I do remember having seen the name, Dylan Dog, somewhere in an old computer game, or at least so I believe. And that is all the prior knowledge I had of it before the movie.
Now that I have sat through the movie, I can honestly say that this movie was actually quite nice. It had a fairly decent storyline, and it got you from point A to B in a good pace, and there were some good story plots and twists along the way. Basically, the story is about Dylan Dog, a private investigator who have retired from his job as a watcher of the affairs of the undead. Now that there have been recent killings involving the undead, he is back in business. But all is not what it seems. Werewolves, vampires and zombies are on the loose and someone is endeavoring to unleash something far more sinister.
The people they cast for the movie was actually quite nice. Good acting and good performances here. Brandon Routh (playing Dylan Dog) did a really good job with his character. But he was helped well along by Sam Huntington (playing Marcus), his friend turned into zombie. These two really carried the movie, but of course the other people did good as well.
"Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" got enough mixture of action, drama and comedy to make it work so well. There was a decent amount of fight scenes, and they worked well. What I particularly liked in the movie, was the zombie support group. That idea was hilarious.
The effects and make-up in the movie were good as well. Personally I could have used more decaying zombies, where you get to see some more gross stuff, but it worked well enough, as you weren't in doubt of who were zombies. They really made Belial look cool, especially upon his full transformation with the horns and body spikes. So hats off to the special effects people on this.
"Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" provides good entertainment for an evening, and it is well worth a watch if you like pseudo-horror/comedy movies. I liked the mixture of vampires, werewolves and zombies, because it worked well enough, without being sanctimonious like many other of todays movies in the vampire, werewolf and zombie genre.
