Disc III is labeled Disc III but it is actually Disc IV and Disc IV is labeled Disc IV but is actually Disc III. Both movies are complete and perfect. Only the labels are wrong on the discs. Has anyone else found this out?

The locations and sets alone make this direct-to-video series of films really quite extraordinary. Filmed in the city of Bucharest and the Transylvania region of Romania, Subspecies was one of the first films shot in post-Soviet Romania and many of the locations would go on to be used in a number of Full Moon productions. Angus Scrimm has a relatively minor role in the first film. The real star of most of this series is Anders Hove, an extremely talented and meticulous actor who brings a refreshing intensity to all his rolls. In this case, Hove portrays the character Radu, a "Nosferatu-esque" type vampire in the Masquerade sense of the word. Ted Nicolaou directs; his masterful use of backlighting and shadows give the films a genuinely gothic feel. If you are a fan of Full Moon this series is one of their best. The DVDs upconvert to widescreen 1080 dpi fairly well, although there is some occasional graininess. The sound is slightly substandard for DVD but still quite good.

I love the ambience of this series of movies (there are 5). Yes there is a lot of blood drooling from Radu's mouth at times (some may like that); but the reality of the locations and actual Romania people really adds to the feeling of actually being there (the nude scene of William Shatner's daughter is also very nice). On first viewing, I did not enjoy it; but after seeing the entire series, it has become one of my favorite vampire movies and one I can enjoy on repeated viewing.

Loved this set of five movies - four for Subspecies & one for Vampire Journals. Not what you would consider top notch A quality movies - but extremely good vampire movies. Enjoyable & at times you'd laugh but all in all I really love this set. Great movies to watch when alone on a stormy night.
