| | Starring Dougray Scott (Hitman, Desperate
Housewives, Mission Impossible 2) and Saffron
Burrows (The Bank Job, Troy, Frida), Perfect Creature is
a highly original retelling of the vampire myth, set in an
alternate version of the 1960s.
The Brothers are Vampires; not the vampires of
European myth, but living breathing creatures - perhaps
the next evolutionary step. They live long - 200 years or
more, remaining youthful until near death, when they
rapidly decay in mind and body.
Old prejudices, fed by the superstitions of the mythical
vampire, simmer in this world, but these are largely
suppressed when a new, virulent form of influenza cuts
a swathe through the population. Humanity needs the
help of the wise and serene Brothers to fight this
microbial war.
A problem arises which threatens to destroy everything.
One of The Brothers has begun to do what no other
Brother has ever done: hunt human beings. Order and
peace between the races is threatened and if the news
escapes, the fragile balance that exists between the
two races will be shattered forever. Instead, the
Brothers attempt to deal with the problem in secret,
assigning one of their own, Silus (Scott), to capture the
renegade who threatens it all: his brother, Edgar.
