"DAMPYR" REVIEW
28 November 2023
Directed by Riccardo Chemello. A runtime of one hour and forty-nine minutes. Streaming on Netflix with an R rating.

"Harlan" played by Wade Briggs is posing as a vampire hunter/ evil spirit banisher with his manager "Yuri" played by Sebastian Croft. In 1992 they are going around different towns in a wrecked Europe from the current war going on.

They will soon realize their act has some truth to it. As "Harlan" is a "Dampyr". A person who is half vampire and half human. Not knowing none of this until a commander in the war "Emil" played by Stuart Martin. Summons "Harlan" to a nearby town after an encounter with a vampire named "Tesla" played by Frida Gustavsson.

Once faced with actual evil "Harlan" will be thrust into a world he only dreamed about. To make matters worse his dad "Gorka" played by David Morrissey who's been trying to kill him since birth has finally learned his location. Watch this vampire fantasy and see how "Harlan" deals with all these mystical adversities.

"Dampyr" actually started interesting. The first twenty minutes were intriguing. Then the film continues and the appeal gets less and less. Soon you'll start to realize a lot is going on and none of it makes sense.

Even worse the beginning scene which was a whole thing didn't have any involvement with the film to the very end. It even left setting up for another film. Which I hardly see that happening.

This originated from a comic book by Mauro Boselli and Maurizio Colombo but they did a poor job replicating it. There are so many flawed points I couldn't begin to start to name them. Just know this was a pointless film.

I will say it had some actors I liked. David Morrissey who played "Harlan" dad is from "The Walking Dead". He played "The Governor" crazy ass. This film also had Frida Gustavsson who plays my girl "Freydis" in "Vikings: Valhalla". Unfortunately, this material wasn't good like the previous things they acted in. The middle and end but mostly the end ruined the overall film. I give this film two mor fires 🔥🔥.
