Review of Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet (1998)
9/10
Unpredictable, dark, and believable - Not your standard fare!
3 August 2000
This outstanding, under-marketed mini-series delves into the tired old Vampire Lore genre, and manages to make it fresh, suspenseful, and exciting. It manages to fully modernize the storyline while maintaining the "classic" vampire traits, and does away with the "hokeyness" associated with the many decades of vampire fiction. It was believable, unpredictable, and leaves you often wondering who's side you're on. The best description I have for "UltraViolet"s effect on it's audience is: Imagine your favorite 3-part "X Files" episode, multiply it by 2, and add more good acting. It's character driven, sublime, and completely excellent.
