Perfect Creature (2006). This relatively low-budget affair hits many high notes in style and application. First off, the atmosphere that is created is simply wonderful; it simply blends many differing eras to create the perfect backdrop for this story to unfold. Bleak and drained of life, full advantage is taken of the setting to create a world where the unlikely is most believable. The acting is strong enough, with some pretty great performances here and there. The story itself threatens to turn Hollywood weak, but never really does as such. Instead, it blends sci-fi and horror into a dilapidated tapestry of a plagued-ridden world of suffering. The direction is competent, and the camera work and computer-generated imagery captures an era best left unearthed. Overall, this can almost be seen as a transcendental B-movie on the bounce. Ashe.
