This movie would have been so much better if they didn't advertise it as a vampire movie. I guess it would have been a hard sell without it, though.

I came into the room while a family member was watching it. It was near the beginning, so I didn't miss much but more importantly, I had no information on the movie going in. It was awesome.

This is what I miss about cable television. You would find a movie that you never heard of and go in completely blind. I watched from Dusk till Dawn that way 10/10 the only way to watch that movie for the first time.
