Definitely worth a watch

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2009)

I recently watched this movie having very little knowledge off the books and i was more than pleasantly surprised. The movie for me was a completely different take on a very old idea. It attempted to take a supernatural concept and fit it into our world.
For the two hours i was completely gripped, between the great casting, awesome soundtrack and brilliant tone.
My only criticism is that it is mis-marketed. It is aimed at the Harry Potter age bracket and when i looked around the auditorium i found that a lot of the teenagers appeared bored. For a film with very little action and a lot of character / relationship building i think an older more patient audience might have suited better.
However, if you like the idea of vampires and know nothing of this film please take the time to watch as i'm sure you will be happy with the result.
I'm looking forward to the next one...
