Okay let me start by saying my star rating is very generous since this was such a low budget instalment. However let me explain that it's my love of all things vampire (save for Twilight) and the chemistry between the actors and the overall feeling I got from the film that inspired my generosity.
This is a vampire love story and while the lead characters are gay that is not the focus of the piece. The storyline is unique, the CGI FX are middle school at best and poorly mixed but for the budget it's acceptable. The acting isn't Oscar worthy with acceptation to the fact that the lead actors are not gay but portray that trait with believability, this is the first professional gig many of the actors in it have done. Not a bad piece to cut your teeth on, in my opinion..
This film is the edited down compilation of a series but could have done with another go at the editing room to further reduce the run time without taking away from the story.
Being a fan of big budget productions I can see how easy it would be to be critical of the components that feel lacking but when the focus is put on the parts that are amazing it makes acceptance easier.
If you are looking for a fun vampire romp with fangs, flesh, blood and preternatural abilities this is for you. If you want big budget then Twilight is that way.
