While paying tribute to time-honored monsters in literature and film like Frankenstein, the Werewolf and Dracula, Dylan Dog also offers a blend of horror, humor, and sophisticated storytelling. Based off of the Italian comic book character, here is a brief synopsis for the film:
Meet Dylan Dog, a British detective [ed: though the film takes place in Louisiana] who is fascinated by fear, and has made it his profession. Those who turn to him for help are not the typical wronged husbands who want to have their wives shadowed-his clients are people who have had a brush with the supernatural, people desperate for someone to believe their stories. That someone is Dylan Dog, the world’s only Investigator of Nightmares.
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is scheduled for limited release in late 2010.
