I wonder if there were some editing choices between the Russian release and the one now making an appearance in theaters. There could be no doubt that humor was intended for many of these moments -- the whole audience broke out in laughter at times with out a single groan as to be found with other flicks that suffer from such troubles (
Transporter 2 comes to mind). This bit regarding the audience surprised me as there were a rather large representation of Goths and like vampire movie followers in attendance with East European film lovers and relatively average folks in the minority, but none apparently thought there was the intention of seriousness. I must ask what kind of director could even think of being serious with a vampire barber?

Trailers are online for the next one,
Day Watch, and it's supposed to have already been released over there. From what I've seen, it looks to take a turn for the more dramatic. Can't tell if it'll be good or not. Then again, I thought this movie would be bad when I was dragged to it, but was pleasantly surprised.
