Interesting and atmospheric little vampire film. The soundtrack was provided by Tangerine Dream and is absolutely fantastic. Some of the dialogue, especially in the beginning, seems a little cringeworthy and trite but overall the script is well done. It really shines in the way that it gives us a humanistic approach to the vampires. The whole thing has a low key, yet powerful and poetic vibe. At times the humor seems to simply detract from this atmosphere instead of providing anything akin to comic relief or real laughs and I think it would have been a stronger film without the comedic elements.
Overall this is quite an offbeat but good film and the soundtrack is amazing. 7 years 2 months ago

The comments for this film seem to be generally on the negative side, so I feel I should chip in to say I thought this was amazing. A fantastically moody, thoughtful-yet-exciting Vampire film, packed with great characters and a wonderful soundtrack. 10 years 6 months ago
