I loved the books, but the movie was bad on many accounts. I had low expectations for this movie since it was produced on a relatively small budget and with relatively unknown actors. With my low expectations, I was still disappointed! Very bad acting, very bad graphics (pressing fast forward to make vampires move faster does not work), very bad screen play. All of the wonderful dialogue and internal struggle of the main characters is trivialized in this film. Somehow it became a comedy to me. Probably because I didn't believe the characters at all. Don't waste your money. YOUR IMAGINATION IS BETTER!
