Bloody Mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (24 October 2007)

I went into this with high hopes and was not disappointed, nor was I over entertained. The setting was marvellous, white and cold which offered an eerieness not often seen in recent vampire movies, the portrayal of the vampires was good, blood lusted, violent and addicted were thoughts that came to mind. The let down was the cast, in particular Mr Hartnett. He gave a mediocre performance and was not at all convincing as the hero. Perhaps a different casting would have seemed better to me, but as it was, the film will continue in my eyes as an OK attempt at a modern vampire movie. The graphic novel is supposed to be great, maybe I will read it then try the movie again, but as it stands just now, good effort ; just wide!
