ThiefHott Too much of everything

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Uriah43 This film has just about everything it needs to be a great vampire movie. It has a dark and dreary atmosphere, seedy nightclubs, sexy women, good background music, a good overall plot and credible performances by the actors, most notably by Katia Winter as "Ruby Stone". But it fails miserably when it comes to the dialogue and the vampires themselves. For starters, the dialogue seems to be one long pitiful complaint of "why me?" throughout the film. The vampires also inspire no great awe either. Although they have an amazing healing ability they lack many of the things we typically associate with being a vampire. For example, they drink blood but they have no fangs. Neither do they have any special speed, strength or agility. Garlic and holy water do nothing to them. So in essence, what this film offers is all the trimmings but no real meat when it comes down to it. How disappointing.

JamieMachin Kudos to the filmmakers behind this for having the guts to make such an edgy new take on Vampire films in a country that is swamped with boring socio-realist dramas or wet romantic comedies.I've just finished watching Night Junkies, and finally, a film I love in a city I live in. Great stuff! I'll never walk past the Thames or look at Canary Wharf in the same way again.Bought my copy from the States (Amazon.com) and it's a multi-region copy by the way. So fellow Brits order it, and it's half price thanks to the favourable exchange rate. Haha!Oh and the old lady scene is inspirational! ;)Jamie

ewyse Night Junkies proves that original vampire movies aren't as dead as you may think. Focussing on the character's addictions, it provides us with a different take on a genre, which has been lacking in recent times.Without giving too much away, Giles Alderson plays a convincing Vincent, a vampire who happens upon a lap dancer named Ruby, played by Katia Winter. Yes, I know it may seem difficult to just 'happen upon' a lap dancer, but they actually meet in a cafe, rather than a club and fall for each other. As the story unfolds, we follow the two main characters as they fight against their addiction for blood and there is a good back story of Ruby's father, a heroin addict, which provides a nice mirror for Ruby's new addiction and her reasons to fight it. They are hunted by 'Psycho', who has a few secrets of his own and is played convincingly (Too convincingly???) by Rene Zagger. Successfully ignoring much of the vampire Mythology, we have no fangs here (Look for a great scene, where Ruby checks her teeth in the mirror), no garlic, no holy water. A stake through the heart or bullet in the head will kill, but then, that would kill anyone right? Set in the back streets on London, Lawrence Pearce's vision of life as a night junkie, mixes the sensual, haunting life of Vincent, with the rather more sexual background of Ruby, producing a film charged with both.This is Lawrence's first 'flick' and there should be many more to come on the strength of this. Hopefully Night Junkies will get the recognition it deserves, paving the way for Night Junkies 2 and restoring our faith in dark, edgy vampire movies.All in all a great movie, make sure you get to see it.

grantown27 Have you even seen a movie that by the time it ended you feel like you have been on the most intense ride of your life? Night Junkies did that for me and more....with horror films as they are today its hard to expect the unexpected....but Lawrence Pearce has done just that. He has taken the vampire genre and has amped it up into a totally new direction...it amazes me how effortlessly the director combined different elements to sync it all together to create such vivid characters and plot lines.....and a major kudos to the two leads in this movie played by Giles Alderson and Katia Winter...the chemistry between their characters basically leaps off the screen. That and the intensity of some of the scenes leaves you breathless...found myself jumping at many parts....and the sound of the name "Ruby" will be etched into your mind like "redrum"....All in all, every part of this movie screams out spectacular...to find out that this is the director's first foray into directing a film is applause worthy...and after seeing this film, I can only imagine what other treats Lawrence Pearce has in store for the future....Night Junkies is an absolute must see....to walk away from a movie and still be completely affected by it the next day is a stroke of genius....again, the smart vampire film is finally back!
