What were they thinking

Mark from Dublin, 31 Jan 2011

Cracking idea but poorly delivered and woeful acting by all concerned just so the current vampire film frenzy means that everyone with so much as a half baked idea about vampires gets an audience and a budget this is just a good example that there is a lot of dire absolute rubbish out there how far sam neil and defoe have fallen dont believe Hawke had that far to go in reality unless your a complete vampirte freak avoid at all costs. I just wish they had minus points, worse movie in two years comfortably and that is saying something.

Broken promise

Hugo from Dublin, 27 Jul 2010

The dystopic idea behind this film is as interesting and promising as it could be. However, as the movie progresses it fails to deliver. The plot is weak and suffers from a lack of ambition, offering one common place after another. Having said that, the cinematography is impeccable, it has great special effects and a couple of well achieved scares, but the blood bath is at times excessive (even for a vampires movie!).
