It tries to give us a novel take on vampires, but will ultimately just end up letting viewers down. There isn't enough interesting going with it's plot or characters to make it truly worth watching.

There isn't enough interesting going with it's plot or characters to make it truly worth watching. What we get is a totally watchable, but ultimately pointless way to spend our time.

The acting is fairly decent, but overall these people do mostly seem like amateurs. Amateurs with potential and some decent acting chops, but amateurs nonetheless. To top things off they aren't playing interesting characters. Maybe this whole thing would have been more entertaining had we been given a reason to care about the characters. We really don't.

What we get is a violent and strangely compelling tale that can keep one watching until the conclusion. However the entire time we will be left wanting more from the story and characters. A real reason to care about the events unfolding onscreen. It's a mindlessly entertaining piece of work, but one that fails to truly satisfy the audience in any way. Hardcore vampire fanatics might get a kick out this bloody flick that tries to take vampires seriously again, but it will leave the majority of audiences wanting more. It's not necessarily bad, but never manages to be anything more than a strangely watchable film that kind of does and doesn't end up feeling like a waste of time.… Expand

Great story, good location. Directing could have been better. The use of consults not there and supporting case, the casing director should retire. You never really get to know the characters not much of a back story. Horror...no, nowhereGreat story, good location. Directing could have been better. The use of consults not there and supporting case, the casing director should retire. You never really get to know the characters not much of a back story. Horror...no, nowhere was there was a scared-out-of-their-wits girl trying to avoid the inevitable death or any lurking in the dark creatures. It's watchable but wait for it to be in the discount bin before buying.… Expand

I think that if you are in the mood you can see the whole thing, I was not. Too slow and almost no Horror on it.
