Box has been cut and mounted in a white, hard plastic clamshell keepcase. It has a crack in the display window on the cover across his eyebows.  Pre-viewed for quality and plays fine. I have seen the dvd version and it too is full screen, the picture quality is no better than what is presented here.

As we open, lonely and upwardly mobile Steven Griscz (Jude Law) stands beneath a tree where the smashed car carrying his now deceased girlfriend has been lodged after a tragic accident. After the police finally extricate the wreckage, Steven returns home and scribbles a cryptic note in one of his diaries/scrapbook with 'trophys' from victims kept over many years. He then becomes involved with the emotionally fragile Maria (Kerry Fox), whom he drains of blood by biting her throat open during a lovemaking session.

He's a non-traditional Bulgarian vampire. He can walk in daylight, touch crosses and move superfast when he wants to. He seems to be mortal though and could easily be killed much like humans. Apart from being a sensitive strain of vampire, Steven can externalize the emotions of his victims by expelling a tough, dagger-like shard from his throat after feeding. Two policemen, Inspector Healey (Timothy Spall) and Sergeant Roache (Jack Davenport) suspect that Steven may be criminally responsible for the deaths of his last two girlfriends, but they have nothing more than circumstantial evidence. He saves the investigating police officer from a mixed race street gang.

He also needs the blood of someone he loves. So he must fall in love with each of his potential victims. This of course takes time to develop such relationships. He draws and soon falls for engineer Anna ('NADJA' star Elina Lowensohn) whom he saved from hurling herself into a subway car. At first she rejects his advances, but the two tentatively establish a connection in which it becomes clear that Anna may be the woman Steven has been looking for. Fans of 'Twilight' will probably like this, a real departure from other vampire movies as the word is never uttered.
