As a die hard Vampire movie fan, I bought this movie on DVD before even seeing this movie. And I got to admit I was pleasantly suprised by this movie. Definately one of the darker vampire movies Ive seen. Before this I guess Bram Stokers Dracula was the darkest Ive seen. I'm no movie critic, and I don't look for hidden meanings in movies. I look at movies this way. Sis I like the movie? Would I watch again? Would I tell my friends about it? And I would have to answer yes to all 3 questions. Definately a must see if you havent seen it.
