Fog, mist, and thou up in the trees---

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2010)

Kristan Stewart, Robert Pattison, Billy Burke. I saw this as a Showtime Free weekend selection. I had to watch it because it is a true phenomenon. And I can see why young folks are entranced. There is an eerie quality, and romantic tension, between the two leads. Gorgeous cinematography. I'm sure Kristan and Robert will get better with more experience. They have that ole STAR quality - you can't take your eyes off them. The story of vampires - the good - and evil ones is a tried and true plot of many films, books, etc. Set at a high school with lots of rainy, foggy, dripping trees, and wet, shiny streets, the atmosphere is appropriate. I'm an Ancient Pelican and I give it a 7/10.
