Reaction:
At
first, one might think this is another vampire film but it turns out
into something else. The script was poorly written. I was expecting a
better story knowing that Mary Harron did a great job in American
Psycho. There were some scenes that would spoil the climax of the film.
When it comes to the actors, they are all good looking but the lead star
is not that convincing in her role.The exchange of dialogues were quite
bland. Nothing much remarkable. I can say that Lily Cole was able to
outshine the others.
When
it comes to its set design and location, it was alright. It was able to
show some spooky scenes. All in all, this film is not really a horror
film that would let you jump off your feet. Instead, it is a typical
mystery thriller film that is quite appealing to younger audience. If
you aim to watch a scary or horror film, this one would definitely not
match your expectation. Better watch something else. I would rate this
film as 3 out of 10.
