One of if not the best!
Amazing that Lee speaks all of maybe 10 lines on the first 10 minutes, but commands every scene he is in.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gothic horror film where an ancient evil is methodically hunted across a city, building dread through atmosphere and the mounting desperation of those who stand against it. The vampire's predatory stalking of innocents and the hunters' grim determination create an inexorable sense of peril.
