Subpar
PostedNovember 23, 2008
JohnEmanon
from Los Angeles
This movie was subpar from start to finish. Everything about it from the acting (Why did Edward always look in pain?) to the special effects (Ex. Any shot of them running through the woods.) and camera work (Not ever shot needs to be a close-up!) felt amateurish. Some of that may fall to a small budget, but not all. From a story standpoint, this movie thoroughly "de-fanged" (literally and figuratively) the vampire mythos by completely ignoring the fertile character work that can be done when dealing with these type of beings. (Ex. How does one deal with being a17 year old forever? It would be harsh. See Kirsten Dunst in Interview with a Vampire for a more layered version of this.) Overall, blah and unintentionally laughable.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
