The adventures of supernatural private eye, Dylan Dog, who seeks out the monsters of the Louisiana bayou in his signature red shirt, black jacket, and blue jeans.
Monsters exist. The only thing keeping the peace between them and keeping them secret is Dylan Dog, Paranormal Investigator.
Superman...?
After years of keeping the peace and protecting the supernatural beings, Dylan's gf was killed by the monsters. He understandably turns his back on them, but not before killing a few in revenge. After years of staying away from them, Dylan as a private investigator, takes a case and the progression leads him to believe that one of the ruling monster families seeks to revive an ancient monster.
Having never read the Dylan Dog comics, I can't say whether this was successful as a transition from comic to film. According to Italian movie nerds, this movie murdered the franchise, so in theory, Taye's death was an unnecessary sacrifice and he adds yet another failure to his filmography. Assuming that's true, how appropriate is it that this franchise killing machine appear as the final monster that needs to be killed.
I guess they couldn't find Ted McGinley.
Despite how it may sound, Dylan Dog is an okay movie. Strong performances from Routh and Sam Huntington, (as hero and sidekick/comic relief, respectively,) carry the film. But it just feels...off. Like something is missing. I can't explain it, but if you watch you'd understand.
Out of Ten? 7. A decent low budget thriller that has it's moments.
Violence? Yes
Explosions? One or two.
Nudity? No
