Vampires and... blood

The film certainly is worthy, but only for those people who love horrors. I do not concern such people, therefore, having looked this film, have put it not especially an appreciation.

What to tell concerning the film? I liked in this film special effects, music … On it the list of that was remembered to me after film viewing comes to an end. In my opinion, the scenario is put not so successfully. No, it is impossible to tell that in general it is bad, I have understood a plot, but on excellent", in my opinion, does not pull. The main heroine, Megan Fox, has served its purpose well enough but as that is not completely professional as it seemed to me. I was touched by its main heroine, its image has not sunk down to me in soul. Perhaps, it is simple that I do not feed a particular interest for a genre of horrors. As to a plot a plot as I wrote above, I have understood. But all the same, as that is languid, not enough founders of a film tried to inform to the spectator the events developing under the scenario.

Once again I will underline that it — only my opinion.
