Dylan Dog (Brandon Routh) is a New Orleans detective who deals with supernatural creatures. Marcus (Sam Huntington) is his assistant. Elizabeth (Anita Briem) tries to hire him to investigate his father's murder but he refuses. He recognizes it as a werewolf attack. He tries to work with vampire leader Vargas (Taye Diggs). Marcus is killed by a werewolf.I like the concept of this supernatural world loosely adopted from an Italian comic book. I don't really like Routh as this character. He's more of a pretty face with comedic leanings. He needs to be more of a hard-boiled tough detective. The budget is also not big enough for its goals. It looks more like a B-movie. The action could be better. Overall, I like the concept but the execution is not great.

"Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" could easily be compared to a movie on the SyFy channel. The visual effects were lackluster, and the chemistry between actors was inadequate. However entertaining, "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" is like a dessert that had been prepared with every ingredient imaginable. We all know the outcome will not taste good. Overall, besides the near constant creature violence and disturbing imagery, there is some rough language sprinkled throughout the script, a comparatively mild sex scene. The movie's weird, and at times morbid - sense of humor is out of place and is probably better written on the page of a comic book. There are several reasons why the film did not do good in box offices, one being that not many people had ever heard of this character and there were a select few that had read the comics or had heard of him through the advertising (honestly, this film's advertisements didn't do it any justice) who had gone to the theaters to see this. Another reason being the fact that Brandon Routh really needs to consider re-entering acting school or something, because every single movie I've seen him in I have regretted seeing. I came apron this film on Netflix instant (I own an Apple TV). It was categorized under super-hero films, I had seen the advertisements, and heard critic's and fan's mixed reviews, so I decided to check it out. Honestly, It wasn't a waste of time, so therefore I think it's underrated by critics, however it definitely had room for improvement (as do many movies). I believe that my rating is accurate - it doesn't deserve anything above or below a 6/10.

My friends told me to avoid this horror flick because, no pun intended, it sucks. But I found it very cheap in a tin box so I thought, well let's pick up Dylan Dog. Being based on one of the worlds best selling comics blends horror, humor and sophisticated storytelling set in the backstreets of New Orleans, sadly this flick doesn't work on the horror, it's laughable and childish, the comedy I'm still waiting for my smiling face and sophisticated storytelling, can't say it was hard to follow.The other reason I picked this up was for the writer Tiziano Sclavi who I knew from Cemetery Man (Dellamorte Dellamore (1994)). The comedy should lay in Dylan's companion Marcus (Sam Huntington), a zombie not happy with being a zombie. But it never worked for me. Being given a black arm it should have been funny but I was sitting there and thinking WTF. To be honest, the whole movie I was sitting there and thinking, get a move on, start with the story. Sure, we do see vampires and werewolves but it was never scary or even frightening. It can work, just watch True Blood and you will see that all creatures and humans can work out with the gore added and eventually nudity. Two things we never see here. There's of course some love between Dylan and Elisabeth (Anita Briem) but having made love and sleeping together she still wakes up dressed, really?It wasn't all that bad, the effects looked great especially toward the end but by then it's too late. Give the dog a bone because that's the only thing he will get from the viewers.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

I have never read any Dylan the dog or anything like that , but i think this film was quite terrible . Dylan was played by some sort of a B-movie actor who looks like he might just be gay .And the ending That was appalling , why didn't he give a sh*t about that girl any other man would have gone back and try to revive her in some f***ing way ! I completely hated the film , i tried to give it a chance but i can only hope the comic book was better and that this is the fault of the director.Oliver
