subspecies is set in romania where two american college students michele (laura mae tate) and lillian (michelle mcbride) arrive to study local folklore with the aid of local friend mara (irina movila). there they rent rooms in a hotel and become curious about the mysterious ruins of a nearby castle and it turns out that a powerful and evil vampire named radu (anders hove) lives there who has stolen the bloodstone from his father king vladislav (angus scrimm). radu takes a fancy to the three girls and starts drinking the blood of mara and lillian and meanwhile michele falls for a guy named stefan (michael watson) who just so happens to be radu brother. michele and stefan decide to team up and rid the world of the evil radu. directed by ted nicolaou this film seems to be quite highly regarded amongst genre fans and while it not terrible i certainly do not call it very good and i couldt really see anything much to get excited about. subspecies is a rather slow going film and not that much actually happens and while it does try to stay close to certain classic vampire lore there all this nonsense about a bloodstone and some little monsters that grow from the tips of radu severed fingers for some reason. subspecies could have been a half decent film if not for the fact that it dull and i really can not remember that much about it and good or bad. the character are alright but some f the dialogue is silly and there a scene which bugged me near the start when the girls are at the castle ruins and one says they have to go because it getting dark yet it still clearly the middle of the day and very bright. there also a scene where one of the american girls finds a coffin that hotel attic and doesn not really seem that bothered by it and i am not being funny but is some bloke whose house i was staying at had a coffin in his attic i would be very and very worried if you know what i mean. i do not think i would ever want to watch it again and there no real threat and the plot is weak that mixes classic vampire themes with silly subplots and i was distinctly unmoved by it all. not the worst film ever but hardly the best either. the film looks alright with nice locations and some local scenery although you feel the look is down to the budget rather than the makers attempt a authenticity. there not much gore apart from a decapitation and some broken off finger tips. for no apparent reason the makers throw in some average looking stop motion animated monsters that really do not do anything or have much significance to the story. filmed on the cheap by charles band full moon entertainment production company in bucharest in romania and the production values are alright and better than many later day band productions. the acting isn not great with many of the cast putting in below par performances while genre regular angus scrimm has a small cameo at the start. there a little bit of style here on occasion with a few scene reminding heavily of the original nosferatu (1922) in particular the bit showing radu shadow coming down the stair with his long claw like fingernails standing out. subspecies is a film that many seem to like for reasons i do not quite see and i thought it was throughly average at best and overall rather dull. followed by bloodstone represent subspecies ii (1993) and bloodlust represent subspecies iii (1994) and subspecies 4 represent bloodstorm (1998) and the spin0off film vampire journals (1997).
