Additional InformationCombining romance, gothic horror, science fiction, and bloody action into a dazzling Anime production, VAMPIRE HUNTER D (2000) takes the vampire mythos to a new level. This movie is not a remake or a continuation of the 1985 movie of the same title. That movie was loosely based on the first of Kikuchi Hideyuki's VAMPIRE HUNTER D books, set 10,000 years in the future. VAMPIRE HUNTER D (2000) takes its cue from the third book in the series, though there are significant deviations in plot. Here, the charismatic vampire, Meier Link, arrives in town in the middle of the night and spirits away a beautiful woman. D, the child of a human and a vampire, is hired to retrieve her. Racing against time and against another group of bounty hunters who were also contracted to perform the rescue, D fights a bizarre cast of Meier's henchmen, each of whom has his own unique and horrific way of killing. Both of the VAMPIRE HUNTER D films benefit from the participation of fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano, whose character designs for both films drip with the eroticism and decadence of a Gustav Klimt painting. Director Yoshiaki Kawajiri adds his talent at dreaming up gruesome enemies, which was also evidenced in his previous work, NINJA SCROLL.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...Striking visual ideas and an intriguing concept....VAMPIRE HUNTER D is a handsome, well-executed film..., Entertainment Weekly - ...Rendered in a staggeringly fluid animation style that puts the old flick to shame...

  • Vampire Hunter D

    I have been after this particular DVD version of this Anime classic because of the excellent audio commentary by Jonathan Clements who is very informative. The film it’s self is very entertaining, and is well paced. If you are a fan of horror/supernatural Anime this film has plenty to offer.
