Heartless (2014)
Extremely Underrated Series
I accidentally came across this series on Netflix. The language is Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or Finnish. I am not sure because I do not speak whatever language it is. However, it has subtitles. I have NEVER written a movie review until now but I feel strongly compelled to do so as I believe that this series should be seen by everyone.
The review that is already accompanied to this series describes it as a "vampire" movie and then states "but not quite". It is NOT a vampire movie what-so-ever. Unfortunately only 1 season is available to me at this time and I have never wanted to see the next season of ANY series as much as I look forward to this one.
As best as I can describe without giving anything away, is that it's a horror/suspense/thriller/dark/romantic/drama mixture of genres.
It's main characters seem to be inspired by the "black eyed children" of urban legend and the "incubus/succubus" of historical myth and legend as far as sucking life from it's victim, but sex is not needed at all and that is always part of the incubus'/succubus' nature.
The other characters that are other than the normal humans are adversarial to the main characters and seem to be witches spawned from a miracle.
At the very end (literally the last 1-2 minutes) ***SPOILER ALERT BUT NOT REALLY*** we are shown what appears to be one of the main characters and a human transformed into a NEW type of creature. However, just a short glimpse of the eyes is the ONLY clue that is given to us viewers.
I really wish (not for me as I love foreign movies) that this series would be made in English and shown on a major prime time network as I believe that it would become a number one rated show very quickly. It is extremely original in every way. Not just the character types and all the genres that it encompasses, but the whole plot and especially the very unique love story that intertwines throughout.
If I had my wish, everyone would watch this series. If I had the money, I would produce it. That is how much I believe in it.
From start to finish, it is exceptional, extraordinarily unique and overall outstanding! I HIGHLY recommend this series.
Thank You for the opportunity to write this review.
