Dylan Dog : Dead Of Night (2010) 7/10

Starring : Brandon Routh, Anita Briem, Sam Huntington, Taye Diggs
Director : Kevin Munroe
Running Time : 108 mins

Supernatural private investigator Dylan Dog (Routh) comes out of retirement when his partner Marcus (Huntington) is killed and turned into a zombie. The killer was a werewolf, but when the werewolf turns up dead Dylan starts to suspect that rumours of a giant killer zombie in Louisiana may be true and that a group of vampires may be responsible for a valuable artefact that has gone missing..

Fans of the comic book on which this is based have done nothing but complain about how unworthy this adaptation is, but to be fair it was okay. I wasn’t expecting much from Routh in the lead role, but he did a pretty good job as Dylan, and Huntington was likeable as the zombiefied sidekick, but I wasn’t a big fan of Briem, though thankfully this turns out to be understandable. Fans of movies like Underworld who want a lighter version to sample will like this, but fans of the comic will definitely not.
