Candid, thoughtful and extensive, and comprised of revealing behind-the-scenes footage, countless interviews, audition tapes (with Christian Bale and Cillian Murphy doning the cape and cowl), and a narrative grip and momentum all its own, it leaves no stone unturned.

MovieDocumentaryBeginning with an introduction to the creation of the story, this featurette delves into all facets of the production of 1998's Dark City, and eventually provides a ten minute discussion of the film's reception. A retrospective that runs the gamut of the cast and crew's experiences on the film. We get a look at some storyboards, hear about weirding out the MPAA, and see star and amateur shutterbug Rufus Sewell present the many photos he took on the set.

Movie5.7DocumentaryThe sound of flapping bat wings, an empty coffin, glistening fangs, tiny punctures on the neck, the sensual taste of blood, a blank reflection, fear of the cross, and death from daylight. These are the creatures of the night, and as legendary (but fictional) vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing exclaimed: "Gentlemen, we are dealing with the undead!" Perhaps the most enduring film genre of all time, vampire films continue to haunt us on the big screen. Why are we fascinated with the myth of these immortal souls? Could it be the living forever part, or perhaps the fact that they have an unearthly sexual attraction to both males and females? Whatever it is, audiences around the world can't seem to get enough of them.
