Overrated and overhyped

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The film opens with Richard, the vampire, snuffing his family. We then switch to Eleanor/Ellie (Vinessa Shaw) who is a recovering addict. She has two teen children. Christopher (James Ransone) takes pity on Ellie and turns her. Her children, we come to find out, has issue with vampires that want to drink their blood. The film moves slow and keeps the horror and gore to a minimum with a lot of action taken off screen. Ellie was never that likable, nor did we get to pity her or identify with her in any way that we could root for her. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

This movie was poorly written, Poorly financed and Poorly executed. The vampire genre has been done of course a million times but that isn't the problem here because it's an entertaining genre to some, The problem with this film is instead of trying to be imaginative or clever this film doesn't even attempt to be cunning and just leaves things open ended. Of course this is no Hollywood blockbuster but to sacrifice special effects for people going behind a door fighting and making noises instead of an action sequence was very lazy and disrespectful to the viewers. Especially the last half hour was just nonsense that seemed unreasonable for people to react that way...
I would say stay away from this movie it definitely gets a poor rating.

I liked the story line. I liked the slow and steady pace. I really enjoy movies with those qualities. I also love that it's not a volume roller coaster. You know, louder than hell and then suddenly the actors are whispering and then loud again and back and forth. I hate riding the volume buttons on my remote as I'm watching a movie. What I didn't like is how dark it was. I love a dark themed movie but I can't stand when I can't see everything on the screen. I know that may not make sense to a lot of people but there's a difference between a dark movie and a poorly lit movie. But that's just me. My two cents.

I rather liked this. If you have an IQ and can think of the irony. I was laughing my butt off. Because well if you blinked you'd miss the small humor and connections to " the lost boys". I was cracking that they were so worried about her abusing again but oh no. That would be so much easier situation. I was rolling on the floor when the son went outside to research what might be happening and looks to catch her licking the blood off the floor from his cut on his foot. How he tried to every vampire myth to no avail. I mean it was so utterly but I couldn't help but finding myself cracking up throughout. I thought the boy and girl were rater good and my man James. I knew he could play a creepy character. if th script were better this could have been rather good imo.
