Boring, cringey, and offensive.
This was not a vampire movie and it certainly wasn't a romance movie. I actually feel a bit cheated after having watched it and wish I could get my time back. The acting is horrible, the dialogue is awful, and there is nothing about it his movie that was good. Very little action, no gore, very little blood, and conveniently off screen kills that didn't show anything. They spent so much time trying to push the main character's racial issues that it became offensive and annoying. Boring, cringey, and offensive are just a few of the words that come to mind. They failed miserably and I recommend anyone who actually likes vampire films to avoid it. - samuelfattori - 4 January 2023
Not Scary, But Enjoyable
I was surprised by the tone of this movie since I saw it classified as a horror and it was definitely not that. I wasn't really looking for a horror though I just clicked on it on Netflix and let it unfold into whatever it was going to be. For me that was a fairly enjoyable story with enough twist and turns that weren't extremely predictable to keep me interested. All of the characters were enjoyable, and the acting was good. I appreciated how parts of the story were connected and things seemed to happen for a reason rather than random events just occurring for the sake of the movie. The main "twist" is sure to catch absolutely nobody by surprise, but it is still executed very well, and it is easy to enjoy the moment for what it is. This movie had just about the right amount of everything for me to enjoy and I really don't have any major complaints. The main character did seem to be a little overpowered at times, but not so much that the movie stopped making sense or being somewhat believable which is big for me in films. It isn't spectacular but it's an easy watch that you won't be left regretting when it's over.
