POSITIVES…
It's got a solid vampire movie premise and has genuinely interesting ideas that I wouldn’t mind seeing more of.
Jorge Lendeborg Jr. is great as Benny, who is a bit awkward, idealistic, a little naive, but brave. He gets caught up in this world where Vampires actually exist. So seeing and wondering what he does in that situation, essentially makes him the audience surrogate for us to follow.
Benny’s interactions and dynamic with the characters Blaire and Zoe, as played by Debby Ryan and Lucy Fry respectively, are what makes this worth checking out.
Accentuated red colors contrasted with the blackness of night and shadows, showcases some excellent cinematography.
Felt like it captured a particular atmosphere and vibe that is very much like Los Angeles at night.
NEGATIVES…
Simply put, for the mythology and premise that it has, this movie is just not grand or epic enough to stand above it’s derivative nature.
Frustrating contrived illogical moments that could ruin your suspension of disbelief.
Doesn't move fast enough for my taste, and has such a leisure pace that it might make some of you lose interest.
There were several exposition scenes, and certain ones were done a bit on the clunky side.
If you went into this movie specifically because of two certain known actresses, then you will probably be disappointed.
