I'm not a crazy fan of the novels I think the over all emasculate of the vampire genre and sheer disregard for the mythos is a crime. However, if i overlook that and believe me it is. I thought this movie was really good acting dialog and the overall story was crafted well. The tone of the move was good color setting etc. I would recommend this to my friends if i did not think they would beat me and set me up in a pike for saying so.
