Dylan Dog: Dead of Night


This 2011 comedy horror film combines both genres well. It has plenty of comic relief at just the right moments to compliment the thrills and chills. To further round out the film, a little romance and mystery fills out the story line. Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is the first attempt at bringing Tiziano Sclavis’ Italian Comic Book to life. I personally have not seen the comics, but critics have said the comparison between the two are weak. But as a stand alone movie, Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is solidly entertaining. And let me tell you, New Orleans has never seemed so dark.

Brandon Routh does a good job portraying the broke and emotionally detached private investigator - Dylan Dog, and Sam Huntington does even better as Marcus Deckler, Dylan’s cowardly undead side-kick.

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, is a lot of film and effects for a $20 million budget production, and is well worth your time to rent, even though it was a failure at the box office.
I give the Dylan Dog: Dead of Night DVD - 3 stars.
